So you're teaching a class basic Irish and you don't know the 32 counties in that language? I done Irish at foundation level and can still tell you that.. Oh dear gaawd.

i want to hand them out a map

chin_grin · 01-02-2011 04:12PM

I wonder how teachers got by without the internet?

FreudianSlippers · 01-02-2011 04:12PM

... people out there in our nation don't have maps and, uh, I believe that our, uh, education like such as in South Africa and, uh, the Iraq, everywhere like such as, and, I believe that they should...

LambsEye · 01-02-2011 04:13PM

Such a helpful lot. Poor OP.

tvnutz · 01-02-2011 04:13PM

The teaching forum would have been a better place to post this op!

Clearly she knows the counties in Irish but she wants to either show a map on a projector or hand out copies of a map. Kids will be able to learn better with a visual aid in front of them instead of a list of the counties in irish.

Could you name all the counties of Ireland in English without Google ?

Doesn't matter but we all could get a map in irish by googling 'map of ireland as gaelge' faster than the OP could post

I don't think that's what he's saying at all; a dictionary exists for that purpose, and there are several online. He obviously wants a map in Irish.

OP, that map sensibleken linked to above is quite good. On one side is a map of Ireland; on the other side is a map of the world - both in the Irish. Both are, however, physical maps. I'm still looking for a political map in Irish.

Can you?

I couldn't, but I sure as fook could pop down to the library and get a map. Before the internet. And/or peruse the magical cheat-book that the teachers possess. You know the one. The book in the locked drawer in their desk. The one book to rule them all!
