if you want to learn irish then you should forget about any complicated grammar rules which come
with all languages and focus on learning words verbs and some short useful phrases so for example
let's have a look at this picture here so we have a man playing basketball so a man is fear
fear and basketball is cispheil the verb imir will be very useful here imir is
to play imríonn sé cispheil he plays basketball ag imirt is another useful
verbal noun here ag imirt is playing cúirt is court and cúirt chispheile is a basketball court
fonsa cispheile is a hoop or the place where you score in basketball
fonsa cispheile it comes from foinse which means source foinse léim sé go hard agus scóráil sé
he jumped high and he scored so there are some good verbs there léim sé go hard agus scóráil sé
and another good verb to use here in the context of this picture is rug sé so that means
he caught rug sé ar an liathróid he caught the ball
now before we move on to the next picture i want to show you this wonderful app i came across recently called ling so
here it is this is a wonderful user-friendly and very interactive app that i'm really
enjoying and i think it could do you a lot of benefit on your journey towards learning irish
so they will do pronunciations and if you press the snail here it'll pronounce it much slower
i love the chat boxes on this app i think they're a really great way to
reinforce the learning because you can go back and listen to the conversations like this
you can get daily reminders and it will tell you how many new words you've learned
you can sign up for monthly yearly or lifetime memberships and it can all be done from as little
as 3 euro a month i will leave a link in the description if you would like to check this out
and any purchases you make you will be supporting me as well as i'll be getting a small commission
so links will be in the description so now let's move on to the next picture here and again
we have another man a fear you could call this guy an old man seanfhear an old man
he's definitely older than the previous guy anyway so níos sine is older
tá sé ina shuí = he is in a sitting position or he's sitting down you could say he's in
the sitting room seomra suí the sitting room or the living room he's also working
on a computer so ag obair is working a very useful verbal noun ag obair and ríomhaire is a computer
he's also wearing a nice green jumper geansaí is the irish for jumper or sweater
and uaine is green and he's also wearing glasses spéaclaí for glasses
Bhí sé ag caitheamh he was wearing or tá sé ag caitheamh he is wearing so that's a good phrase that you can use
with spéaclaí or geansaí or other things there here we have a picture of some fruit
on a table and a cup as well so for table you could say bord or tábla either one of those
will be fine bord or tábla i always think bord is easy to remember because very
often tables are made out of wooden boards, there's a cup there as well cupán that's the irish for cup
cupán and it looks like there's some fruit there as well torthaí is the irish for fruit torthaí
inside in the fruit bowl there looks like there's some oráistí which is oranges and piorraí
which is pears piorraí there's also a window just on the left there as well fuinneog is the
irish for window fuinneog and two great verbs you could use there d'ith mé which means i ate
and d'ól mé which means i drank d'ól mé so those two verbs would go nicely in the context of
this picture here tá torthaí go maith duit = fruit is good for you, another
useful phrase that you can use here so if you would like to check out the wonderful ling app
i will leave a link in the description just press on that link and you can go and test it out for
yourself and see how you get on and don't forget to let me know in the comment section
what you thought of this app so thanks for watching and i'll be back very soon
slán go fóill.
