I'm interested in learning any languages (I was excited to hear about the gaelic..even if it is a bit of a drive from where I am)... and improving on the ones that I've gotten really rusty on.. (French & German & Japanese)..

Are there peoples of the Iberian penninsula here who would enjoy learning or<br>sharing Spanish with others?<br><br><br><br>Xene AKA Ximena Grifón de Mendoça<br><br><br>-----Original Message-----<br>From: <a href="mailto:steppes-bounces@lists.ansteorra.org">

<br>to attend.<br><br>Also, if there are other tongues which tickle your fancy, have them in mind<br>to bring up at this meeting. I have already confessed on many fronts that I<br>am that most terrible of wordy rogues, a linguist, and one who welcomes the
<br>opportunity to explore any new forms of communication which present<br>themselves (even the nonverbal ones).<br><br>An duine uasal Yagyu is taking steps to bring Irish alive in our kingdom. I<br>have also heard the echos of an interest in Welsh, and furthermore I have
<br>resources and some experience with Cornish. All told we represent a fair<br>portion of both branches of the Insular Celtic tongues. (Now if a Pict comes<br>into the picture I just don't know /what/ might happen!)<br>
<br>While I hope to work closely with those of you who choose to come out to<br>Benbrook, I know too there are others who find the journey too trying at<br>present. It is therefor my hope to branch out into the heart of Steppes and
<br>nurture this enthusiasm for language further. It will be interesting to see<br>what comes about should Elfsea represent the Goidelic (Irish/Gaelic/Manx)<br>side of things, while Steppes follows the Brythonic (Welsh/Cornish/Breton
<br>and... mrrr... Pictish/Cumbric *wince*) branch. However, there is no time or<br>place yet in mind for such a meeting, nor will there be until we see how<br>this Irish bit turns out.<br><br>Sewenna, gon kowetha!<br>/|\ Cuillioc "Quill" /|\

<br>> Gaelic....lol....the Scotts have dibbs on the just Gaelic<br>> thing.....when one finds a book on Gaelic, it is always Scots<br>> Gale.......<br>><br>> and the book we will be useing can be found online with little effort,
<br>> and you can even buy it with audio cd's, which is the copy I<br>> have....so we can listen to them as we work through the book.......and<br>> it is "Teach Yourself Irish" by Diarmuid O Se and Joe Sheils........I
