Fearadh na Fáilte Romhaibh!

le Séamus Mac Giolla Phádraig

 

Ina leabhar “An Béal Bocht” rinne Brian Ó Nualláin aor ar ghluaiseacht na Gaeilge faoin ainm chleite “Myles na gCopaleen.  Chuir sé in iúl dá chuid léitheoirí nach raibh muintir na Gaeltachta ag brath níos mó ar an chuach le deimhniú dóibh go raibh an samhradh acu, ach ar an chéad fhoghlaimeoir Gaeilge.

Why learn Irish?

Some people are attracted to the hard-headed sophistication of the accent of northern France, some to the soft rhythms of the Spanish of Central America but to me, there is no sound more welcome than the Irish of Donegal.  Perhaps it is the call of the ancients to which I am responding but I don’t care to over-analyse it, I just love the sound of ‘Gaeilge Thír Chonaill’!

 

Is cinnte go mbaineann an teanga leis an tír agus nach féidir tuiscint ar ár n-ainmneacha agus ár mbailte fearainn a bheith againn gan eolas a chur ar bheagán den teanga.  In amanna, is é an dara choiscéim ar bhóthar na líofachta an chuid is deacra den aistear.

 

The effort expended in learning to respond to a greeting, introduce oneself, say how you are and enquire about someone else initially pays dividends.  However, the need for mundane communication soon conspires to drive the learner away from the language.  It is not easy to gather the vocabulary to talk in an adult way about one’s job, family, interests or world events in a new language.

 

Is iomaí cíor thuathail, mí-thuiscint agus gaiste a gheobhaidh an foghlaimeoir roimhe ach is é acmhainn an ghrinn an áis foghlamtha is fearr amach atá ann dúinn.  Má tá an foghlaimeoir fásta ag iarraidh dul chun cinn sa teanga úr a dhéanamh, caithfidh muid a bheith in ann beag a dhéanamh dár mbotúin agus leanstan ar aghaidh, ach go díograiseach.  Caithfidh gur shíl daoine gur ag dul don TCP a bhí mé nuair a bhí mé ag iarraidh eolais a cur ar an bhealach le ‘r’ na Fraince a fhuaimniú!

 

Whether we are interested in the language because someone we like and respect speaks it, because we find its sounds and rhythms attractive or, as the amateur psychotherapists would have it, because we are responding to an atavistic tribal call, we must not forget that basic truth, that it is a different language.  We should not expect to find in it the sound patterns, grammar or logic of another language.  Sometimes it is this aspect of learning a new language that provides the greatest challenge.

 

Is dóiche gurb é an dúshlán is luaithe é a chasann foghlaimeoirí na Gaeilge air go ndéanann sí idirdhealú idir thréithe atá buan, nó atá deacair a athrú agus chuma nó stáid gur féidir a athrú.  ‘Is Albanach é’, ‘Is cainteoir Gaeilge í’ ar lámh amháin agus ‘Tá muid líonmhar’, nó ‘Tá siad óg’ ar an lámh eile.  Ní dhéantar idirdhealú idir an dhá choincheap sa Bhéarla nó san Fhraincis.

 

The next time you hear a foreigner saying, ‘I will do it when I will have the money’, he is following the logic of his own language, not the rules of English grammar.

 

Bíodh aige, is cuma cén chanúint nó teanga atá agat, beidh fáilte sna Dúnaibh romhat ar chúrsa cuimhneacháin Shéamuis de Faoite and we hope that you will emerge from your classes eager to try out new turns of phrase on teachers and students alike.  Bainigí sult as

The Ulster Council of the Gaelic Athletic Association sponsors this course.  The course takes place on the beautiful Ros Goill Peninsula in Donegal, and Comhairle Uladh provides a wide variety of facilities, and services free of charge to participating members. Do not miss this opportunity to enhance your knowledge and appreciation of our heritage.

The course caters for three categories of participant (a) Fluent Irish speakers.

(b)  Improvers or those with a little Irish. (c) Beginners or those with little or no knowledge of the language. Every effort is made to ensure that the course is both pleasant and inclusive. This is achieved by having classes for three levels of fluency in the language, by refined preparation for certain events, and by strategic translation and summarisation techniques together with the wholehearted participation of the course members in the delivery of the programme.

There are only three recommendations here for this week (a) Speak as much Irish as possible (b)Divest yourself of any degree of pretentiousness (c) Enjoy
