    Hello,
    I am just wondering where can I find Irish speaking people to read my poem and a few dialogues...

    I'm not an Irish speaker and would love to find an Irish speaker who can help. Its a work in progress and besides virtual hugs, I can't pay anything. Help~

    Post it here if you like, and I'll have a look at it. :) I'll post a link to it in the Teach na nGealt forum as well if you want a few more pairs of eyes.

    The poem is super cheesy...
    Thank you in advance for your help:

    ó chroí mo chroí,
    Eirionn Trócaire de ghrá
    i measc an tslua
    i gcroílár Chonamara

    ó ghrá mo ghrá
    agus rúndiamhair na mara
    idir ‘sea’ agus ‘ní hea’
    Tá an sín bheatha de cúpla’

    I think it would work better if you started the two verses with "a" instead of "ó" (assuming you're addressing someone directly).

    The verb "fásann" (grows) might be better than "éiríonn" (rises) in line 2, but that's up to you.

    What were you going for with the final line?
