Hi, folks.

I'm from Spain, teacher of spanish language and it had been offered to me a post of language conversation assistant in the University of Galway. With my Resume I must write a letter of introduction and I would like to finish this letter with some appropriate words like "Yours faithfully", but in irish. Perhaps also some words to start with: "Dear Sir or Madam". Could you help me with the translation, please?

And another point. I'm interested in the problems of minoritary languages. I'm a speaker of a minoritary language (Aragonese, down the the Pyrinees) too, and if I'm going to live in Ireland, I'd like to learn irish. Where can I do this? Is it possible in Galway? I guess it is.

Best wishes

Mika

There is a "Gaeltacht" in Galway. A "Gaeltacht" is an area where the people speak Irish. As for writing the letter, you might try something like:

A Julie, a chara

I would like to...

Is mise le meas,

Mika

And if I don't know the name of the person who is going to read my letter of introduction?

Go raibh míle maith agat.

Pues en ese caso " A Chara, " es suficiente.
