    I hears this on the radio (Radio na Gaelteacht) and have no idea what it means. Can't spell it so have typed it as it sounds (to me anyway)
    Cuman loo class gael.

    Go raibh maith agaibh

    Did you understant anything else that they said while listening to radio na gaeltachta?

    I can't really remember now but I think they were talking to and about school children. I usually listen to the station so that I can get used to the language being spoken by natives. Develop the ear as they say. To be honest most of it passes me by but now and again there are people I can understand quite well and it also helps if I can figure out what the context is. Then I'm really happy with myself until the next Seamus Mhicil Tom (Character from Ros na Run that even my Gaelscoile friends have difficulty understanding :) )comes on and leaves me scratching my head.

    For the cause eh......
    And I meant understand.....
    It isn't an easy way to tune your ear, there was a film dubbed into Irish on TG4 and It was pretty good, with understandable Irish too. That's a much easyier way.
