    Are you going to take part in Seachtain na Gaeilge? Go to any events? Use the few words?

    SnaG 2011


    Its the perfect time to dust down your Cupla Focal and give it a go again.

    SnaG will be between the 5th and 17th of March.

    Tá Gaeilge gnéasach, Úsáid do teanga.:D

    It's tokenism imo deise.

    I'd love to see the language reinvigorated but there's no real desire for it to happen on a popular or political level.

    The week? Its a great Promotional oppertunity, as for the language its self, it happens to be quite popular with the young.

    Where's the train to London áit a bhfuil an traein go Londain
    Where is my drink Cá bhfuil mo deoch
    Can I borrow 50 billion Euro An féidir liom a fháil ar iasacht beagán airgid

    I admire the enthusiasm for the language from those involved in its promotion but it's revival would require some bold initiatives and aforementioned popular support to take flight.

    You only need to look at the growth of the Gaelscoil movement to see the potential for the language. As it is there are 40,000 kids outside the gaelthacht using Irish as their means of communication for all their subjects in School.

    fnaaaar fnaar.

    Peig has been the worst thing for the Irish language since the "Murder machine".
    Whiney, self-pitying auld bag. Could never undersatnd why An t-Oileánach wasn't used instead. Maidhc dainín's "A thigh ná tit orm" was def a move forward.

    Beidh an-chraic anseo i gCeatharlach!

    I'm confused, if Irish is supposedly our birth/main language......why do we need a week of speaking it? Surely, we are all speaking it everyday, seeing as we're all native Irish speakers, in Ireland?
    It's also really weird that here I am, a native Irish citizen, typing English, in an Irish forum, where the majority of people, who are Irish, understand what I am saying....weird!



    My answer is no, I won't be pretending to speak Irish for a week. Just in case you were in doubt.
