Maith dom mo chuid Gaeilge bhriste.

I am trying to learning Irish. Trying, being the keyword, of course. I don't think I've ever encountered such a difficult language. I mean, German 102 with all it's bloody cases was a cakewalk compared to just saying "good morning" in Irish.

Hey Mo!
Kristin's Mom was born in Ireland I believe in Dublin. Anyway, she's not even a US citizin. She has some of her old school books that are all in Irish. Her parents are over here too. I can see if she'll help you with the pronounceation (sp?) (yes i know i suck at spelling) Anyway, just thought if you had someone who spoke the language help you and you can actually hear it and they can tell you if your doing it right or not that it might be easier for you. ^_^ just thought i'd throw that out there.
Ja!

That is so cool! Thanks for telling me. I'm using a computer program to learn it, which does have the pronunciation, but it would be really nice to get to talk to someone who knows the language. Are you sure she can still speak it? Unfortunately all of my (living) relatives are second generation Irish, so nobody knows Gaelic. I would love to talk to her about that.

Thanks again, Mel!
