In an effort to get in touch with my (perhaps more distant than I'm willing to admit) Celtic heritage, I'm trying to learn some Irish Gaelic in a project for my AP Brit Lit class. On the way, I'll teach you, my devoted and limited audience, a few terms, and maybe a bit of culture or history here and there. 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!
