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!

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!
