This may have been discussed here closer to the original broadcast, but I just came across this short interview with Des Bishop from last May. Have a listen here. It's about four minutes long. http://www.rte.ie/podcasts/2008/pc/pod-v-140508-adhmhaidindesbishop.mp3 He would have been studying Irish for less than a year when the interview took place. I was impressed by how quickly he spoke. Very few pauses or stumbles, although he corrects himself a number of times. Like most beginners (and some not-so-beginners), he peppers his phrases with English words. Impressive nonetheless. Makes me feel like one day I could get through an interview on RnaG. ;p
When writing your messages, please use the same courtesy that you would show when speaking face-to-face with someone.

Stró, streachailt, straidhn, strus. The spice of life. (Cuir Gaeilge air sin.)

Ní dóigh liom é. B'fhéidir gur chóir dúinn feidhm a bhaint as an bhfocal "salann" anseo, ó tá an véarsa seo ar eolas ag cách (sea, sea, tá mé ag dul thar fóir le "cách", ach mar sin féin):
“Is maith an rud salann, ach má éiríonn an salann leamh cad a chuirfidh sibh mar anlann leis?”

Is dócha é. Feicim go gcuireann de Bhaldraithe salann ar scéal chun "to add spice to a story" a thiontú. |

Salann san anraith, déarfainn fhéin.
(Ach an bhfuil aon anraith fágtha i measc an salainn, sin é an cheist!)

Ceist mhaith.
Is é an sracadh an spreacadh.
Is den spreacadh an sracadh.
Is é an sracadh a mhúsclaíos an spreacadh sa duine.
Is é an sracadh a spreagfas an spreacadh sa duine. |
