One down...

So, at the end of my first week trying to learn Gaelic, I've received a lot of help on where to start. Perhaps the most helpful was an invite to join Duolingo, a language learning website and app. Luckily for me, they have a lesson on Irish Gaelic in beta right now, and I've already learned a lot from it. For this week's lesson, I'll go with the traditional greeting, dia duit (Di-ya gwitch) literally means "Good Day!". Until next time, slan and slainte!

Dia Duit!

Dia duit, everyone! For Mrs. Finco's Senior AP Brit Lit class, we're doing a 20% time project, and I decided to try to learn Irish Gaelic! I'll be posting updates for my amazing teacher, just so she knows I'm not completely slacking off, and a few language lessons here and there. First lesson is: The first Gaelic term I learned! Slainte (slawn- CHA) is the Gaelic term for "Cheers!", as in giving someone a toast. Hopefully I'll be toasted at the end of my hard work! Until next time, slan!
