I have decided to formalize an Irish Gaelic<BR>study group in the area.<BR><BR>The Mission: To gather a group of people and teach each other Irish<BR>Gaelic. We will learn the language in depth at a good, self fuled, pace.<BR>This will allow each person to proress as fast as they wish and as far<BR>as they wish.....<BR><BR>I have found that when learning a language, the best way lay in a group<BR>of like minded people. It helps to remember and retain what you have<BR>learned when there are others to speak it with you and help you along.<BR><BR>The Hope: To spread the Irish language to those who hope to keep it<BR>alive. It is my dream to speak the language fluently, and pass it on to<BR>others.<BR><BR>I will not lie, part of why I am doing this is to help my own Irish. I<BR>have lamented for a long time at not haveing anyone to learn it or speak<BR>it with. I also desire to keep this language alive.<BR><BR>The Materals: we will be learning from the book, "Teach Yourself
Irish".<BR>I have found this book very well put together and easy to understand. It<BR>is also advisable to bring paper and something to wright with, though I<BR>will have some here.<BR><BR>We will learn vocabulary to begin with, while teaching ourselves how to<BR>read and pronounce it. then we will move on, step by step, into forming<BR>the sentence and grammer.<BR><BR>The Place and Time: it will be held twice a month, the second and fourth<BR>fridays, starting next month, the 14th and the 28th. For now the<BR>location will be at my house, the adress is as follows....<BR><BR>228 Vista Way<BR>Benbrook, 76126<BR><BR>It will be open to be hosted at other places in the very near future, so<BR>long as everyone can make it there. There might even be quite a few<BR>study nights at Denny's or the like.....<BR><BR>I have been learning Irish for about a year now, and can speak it<BR>deacently. From there we have our starting point, and I welcome anyone<BR>with a knowledge of the
language to jump in and help out. I hope to see<BR>many of you there, and look forward to shareing with you something that<BR>has brought me pride and joy.<BR><BR>slante agus slan,<BR>Jacob (otherwise known as Yagyu Masamori Nobunaga)<BR><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>Elfsea mailing list<BR>Elfsea@lists.ansteorra.org<BR>http://lists.ansteorra.org/listinfo.cgi/elfsea-ansteorra.org<BR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>
