The world of Irish communities online

The Irish language has flourished online, and allows people who were once isolated from eachother to now converse. No wonder that Irish language communities have increased in size and activity over the last few years.

In the world of social communities, an Ghaeilge has its own place in the big online social networks. For example, search on Bebo for Irish language groups that anybody can set up. Thankfully, TG4 has been active in creating various Bebo identities for their TV shows.

Some Bebo Irish groups/pages/people:

The Daltaí.com discussion boards have an active community, with a strong emphasis of conversation in Irish.

Irish Gaelic Translator.com is a large community focused on offering Irish translations, but is actively open towards learners of the language. You can ask any language or grammatical questions on the forum there.

Beo.ie has many discussions in Irish at their discussion boards. Beo is an online monthly publication.

There are also people bloggging about their journey of learning Irish. For example, see LearnIrish.com and Blag Shomhairle.
