Dea-maidin, bhí a fhios agam Martin agus Wonder má tá duine ar féidir leo Gaeilge a mhúineadh dom. Mar sin féin, tá mé ar langa athnuachan go hiomlán. Ach a thabhairt liom é i nGearmáinis. Beannachtaí, Martin

Re:Australian girl wants to learn Irish Gaelic
I am learning Gaeilge but I know enough to help you out. If you want I can teach you what I know and we can send e-mails back and forth in gaeilge and get practice.
Tá is an irregular verb and is used to construct sentences that are impermanent in nature. Such as I am cold, you are mad, he is here, she is reading, we are in the garden etc
Tá mé (TAW* may*), I am
Tá tú (TAW* too), you (singular) are
Tá sé (TAW* shay*), he, (it) is
Tá sí (TAW* shee), she is
Táimid (TAW* mid), we are
Tá sibh (TAW* shiv), you (plural) are
Tá siad (taw* SHEE-uhd), they are
Níl mé (NEEL may*), I am not
Níl tú (NEEL too), you (singular) are not
Níl sé (NEEL shay*), he is not
Níl sí (NEEL shee), she is not
Nílimid (NEEL-i-mid), we are not
Níl sibh (NEEL shiv), you (plural) are not
Níl siad (neel SHEE-uhd), they are not
An bhfuil mé? (un VWIL may*), am I?
An bhfuil tú? (un VWIL too), are you? (singular)
An bhfuil sé? (un VWIL shay*), is he?
An bhfuil sí? (un VWIL shee), is she?
An bhfuilimid? (un VWIL-i-mid), are we?
An bhfuil sibh? (un VWIL shiv), are you? (plural)

For what something or someone is like a doctor or student you use Is. Is rúnaí é. (iss roon-ee ey) He is a secretary. Essentially you drop the “s” from se, si etc but keep the m and t for me and tu.

Australian girl wants to learn Irish Gaelic
Hello! I'm April, a 23 year old Australian girl who wants to learn more Irish Gaelic.
I have a love and respect for Ireland as my grandparents (on my fathers side) were from Dublin. The language is a connection to my heritage and I plan to travel there in 2012.
I'm new to this forum, so thought I'd throw my name out there. I'm hoping to write to someone from Ireland who has similar interests to me. Always up for making a new friend :)
I love listening to music: Led Zep, Pink Floyd, Nirvana, Joy Division, Pulp, The Doors, NIN and Tool just to name a few.
Watching movies: American Psycho, Taxi Driver, Pulp Fiction, A Clockwork Orange, Full Metal Jacket, Snatch, Clerks and Pan's Labyrinth plus many, MANY more!
Other interests include playing guitar, reading, attending festivals and gigs, photography, drinking things I probably shouldn't, Op shopping, art galleries and drawing. I study media productions and film at university because it's my passion.
Well, that's about it! :)
