(Ach is Béarla, go bhfios dom, a labhair Mac Williams)

I'm seriously new to this website, and to Gaelic. Anyone know where to begin?

Fáilte (welcome) a Erin. In terms of beginning, you'll probably want to visit some of the other areas of this website. Also, you'll find the archives packed with previous postings on all kinds of subjects related to Irish Gaelic, also known simply as Irish. The shop here online has some good books, including dictionaries, for beginners.

There's a wide range of contributors here at Daltaí, from beginners like me to experienced and very knowledgeable teachers. So, you'll have plenty of opportunity to learn just from the postings and also from asking questions yourself.

Go n-éirí an t-adh leat! (good luck!)

erin, im new to the site aswell, not so new to gaeilge. have a read through all the discussions, i dont often post anything but its a brilliant way of picking up new phrases from some top class speakers, and there's plenty of others without much irish.

Fáilte, a Erin


The Daltaí contributors are a patient, generous bunch and will give you every encouragement. Don't be wary of asking "stupid" questions, I do it all the time

Suaimhneas,

there is no such thing as a 'stupid' question, I believe.

Stupid silences; stupid answers too. [I put my hand up and admit my guilt here on both counts!] But seeking knowledge is one of many sources of learning. Good to see you encouraging it.

Fáilte romhat, A Erin - Welcome, Erin.

This site is so much fun and everyone here is quite helpful and enjoyable to visit with. The people here are very knowledgeable and generous with their time

Beir bua agus beannacht

"there is no such thing as a 'stupid' question, I believe"

if that were the case most philosophers would be sensible
