An dtuigeann tú?

Being next to the Gaeltacht - how many people here in Galway City forum would use Irish on a regular basis? Myself, I just use words like grá, leaba etc thrown in with my english.

I used irish for the first time outside of school in I think it was 2005 ... venue was Arus Na nGael ... and I was with a load of french .... was actually a great buzz to have a bit of a conversation with someone ... kinda sad though .. that I was 25 before I used irish ...

Besides a few words all I can remember is "rith me ar nos na gaoithe". I was thaught to learn off a load of 'usefull' phrases like that for writing essays but little effort was made to break down everyday spoken Irish into an approachable subject. pity. I'd really like to learn though, I might give that "Turas Teannga" thing with sharon ni bheolain a lash but I'll probably learn nothing if I'm not forced to speak it.

I know a few other basic phrases: Cén chaoi ina bhfuil tu? (I think that's how it's spelled...I always hear it on aran but the accent can be difficult) means how are you? (more like: what state are you in?)
My stock reply: Táim go maith (Táim instead of tá mé)

Dhá phointe guinness le do thoill means 2 pints of guinness please (dunno if le do thoill is always used) and oiche mhaith means good night,...that usually gets me through a weekend in Aran

yes...

i wish i knew more irish than i do, and everyone thinks that because i grew up in Donegal i should know loads but i'm gonna blame it all on my national school. heck one of my teachers even said to my Ma that irish just wasn't important and nobody bothered about it anymore.
