Hello, a chara,
It's Week One and we’re going back to basics: greeting others and introducing ourselves. Keep your loga foghlama handy to record new vocabu lary (stór focal nua) and try the Dúshlán na Seachtaine challenge to start speaking as Gaeilge in the wild.And remember - confidence (muinín) is key! Your Irish may feel rusty ach tá an Ghaeilge agat fós - you still have it! The language is yours and enjoy the process.

Dúshlán na seachtaine
Labhair píosa beag Gaeilge gach lá
1 Beannaigh do dhaoine (Greet people) as Gaeilge.
2 Abair 'Dia duit’ agus ‘slán’ le daoine in ionad (instead of) ‘hello’ agus ‘goodbye’.
3 Abair ‘go raibh maith agat’ in ionad ‘thanks’ - i siopa nó bialann (in a shop/restaurant).
4 Bíodh comhrá beag (little chat) agat le duine eile as Gaeilge.
