The Secrets to Practicing Irish Gaelic Every DayEven if you dont live in Ireland. Introduction

Introduction

One challenge everyone who learns a foreign language must face is how to suciently pracce the

language so as to make it automac. You started with the re in your belly to learn the Irish language,

right? But for many language learners, lack of day-to-day pracce is the greatest barrier to uency.

When we say pracce, we arent referring to exercises in a book or computer program. While those

are useful for learning how the language works the nuts and bolts, as it were they dont generallychallenge you to THINK in the language youre learningnor do they give you sucient pracce in

speaking and listening.

If youre lucky enough to be able to spend several weeks or months in an area where the language

youre learning is in daily use, youll get this kind of pracce automacally. Most Irish language

learners, however, unless they happen to live in Ireland (or can aord to spend an extended vacaon

there) dont have the luxury of this kind of daily exposure to the living language.

Thats where the techniques in this book come in. They oer you day-to-day ways to pracce your

Irish, so as to make it a part of your regular thinking process which, ulmately, is the key to fuency.

Some of these techniques are geared toward absolute beginners. Others will become useful as your

grasp of the language grows. All have been used to good eect by other Irish language learners.

The Secrets to Practicing Irish Gaelic Every DayEven if you dont live in Ireland. Introduction

Let's get goingThe rest of the book is made up of ten secons each describing a secret to praccing Irish Gaelic

every day.

These arent sequenal lessons. You dont have to learn how to do one before you can do another.

Feel free to skip around, trying whatever method seems most interesng/useful/doable at the

moment.

By the way, we refer to Irish Gaelic as simply Irish in this book. That's how people in Ireland call the

language.

Bain sult as! (Enjoy!)

The Secrets to Practicing Irish Gaelic Every DayEven if you dont live in Ireland. Secret 1: Labels, Labels, Labels

Secret 1: Labels, Labels, Labels

For this you will need:

1. A package o sticky notes (such as Post-it notes)

2. A pen

3. An English-Irish dictionary (see below or online dictionaries)

The method

Pick one room in your home, and using the scky notes, label everything you see with its Irish name (ifyou dont know the Irish word for something, look it up in your diconary).

For example, in your bedroom you might label your leaba (bed), your drisir(dresser), your almir

(closet), yourpilir(pillow), etc.

In any given room, you will certainly have at least one balla (wall), afuinneog (window), an urlr

(oor).

Tip

Do NOT write the English translation on the labeljust the Irish.

For the next week, every me you enter that room, look at your labels and say each word aloud.


7/326


Tip

Dont mentally translate. In other words, dont look at the label on the wall and think balla = wall. Just

look at the object, read the word on the label, and say it aloud. The idea is or your brain to connect the look

and sound o the Irish word directly with the object, without going through the medium o English.

Aer a week of this, move on to another room in your home and repeat the exercise.

As you get more pracced at this, you can make it more complicated. For example, go into a room

youve already labeled once and re-label everything using the denite arcle (the bed, the chair, etc.).

If you're advaned enough already, make sure that you inect the word properly according to its

grammacal gender (if necessary, look the word up in your diconary to determine if it s masculineor femininedont just guess!). Remember, the pronunciaon of the word may change (for example,

fuinneog window (pronounced FWIN-yug) will become an fuinneog the window (pronounced

un IN-yug).

Tip

Bitesize Irish Gaelic members get a ull lesson on the denite article and inection at the ollowing URL:

www.bitesizeirishgaelic.com/lesson/16/

Members also have three ull lessons to learn about possessive adjectives:




The more advanced you become, the more you can vary this exercise. Try labeling objects using

possessive adjecves (my bed, for example, or his dresser), for example. Try adding descripve

adjecves (the brown door, for example, or the ugly chair). Don't worry if you don't know how to

say these things just use it as a goal for something new to learn to say when you get there.

As you grow more adept, you can even do this without using physical labels (such as when youre out

and about). If youre walking or driving around and see something you know the Irish word for, say it

aloud (if possible), or at least think the Irish word (without including an English translaon). As your

vocabulary grows, so will the possibilies!

The Secrets to Practicing Irish Gaelic Every DayEven if you dont live in Ireland. Secret 2: The Primer Method

Secret 2: The Primer Method

The primer method is an expansion on the label idea, and makes use of a proven technique for

teaching children simple sentences (if youre an American of a certain generaon, you may prefer to

think of this as the Fun with Dick and Jane method, aer the reading primers many grew up with in

the 50s, 60s, and 70s).

The methodGo into one of the rooms that you have previously labeled. Pick one of the labeled objects at random

and see how many simple sentences you can make up about it. Try to make up at least ve.

For example, choose an balla (the wall):

T balla ann. (There is a wall.)

T an balla crua. (The wall is hard.)

T an balla bn. (The wall is white.)

T an balla mn. (The wall is smooth.)

T an balla lidir(The wall is strong.)


11/3210

The Secrets to Practicing Irish Gaelic Every DayEven if you dont live in Ireland. Secret 2: The Primer Method

If youre in a seng where it s possible, say the sentences aloud.

Once again, try NOT to work through the medium of English. Try to use descripve adjecves you

already know. If you must look something up (and of course you will need to), be sure repeat the Irishseveral mes while looking at the object (without adding the English denionfor example, say t an

balla bn, NOT t an balla bn/the wall is white).

As your facility with the language grows, pracce doing this with increasingly complex sentences.

For example:

Is bord sin. (That is a table.)

T an bord mr. (The table is big.) T an bord go deas. (The table is nice.)

Is bord mr deas . (It's a big, nice table.)

Is maith liom an bord. (I like the table.)

T mo chupn ar an bhord. (My cup is on the table.)

Bonn mo spacla ar an bhord go minic. (My spectacles are oten on the table.)

TipIt doesnt matter i your sentences are rather silly sounding (even VERY silly soundingeven childish) at this

stage. The goal is to begin to train yoursel to think and speak directly in Irish, without going through the

medium o English. When you were a young child, just learning to speak (and later, just learning to read),

you did this unselconsciously. Now, as a oreign language learner, its time to let your inner child come out

to play!

The Secrets to Practicing Irish Gaelic Every DayEven if you dont live in Ireland. Secret 3: Just the Facts, Ma'am

Secret 3: Just the Facts, Ma'am

This is a bit of an expansion on the primer method, and is a fun game to play while youre waing in

line at the store or stopped in trac.

The methodSay youre waing in a long line at the grocery store. Pick a person in the next line. Take a quick look at

him or her; then look away.

Now imagine that youve just seen that person commit a crime and you have to describe him or her to

a police ocera police ocer WHO SPEAKS ONLY IRISH!

Inially, youll probably need to resort to very simple, present-tense sentences. Don't worry if you

can't do this yet. Just remember this method for when you do start to make sentences. For example:

Is fear . T s g. T s ard. T s tana. T gruaig rua air. T line bhn air. (He is a man. He is young.

He is tall. He is thin. He has red hair. He is wearing a white shirt).

As your facility with the language grows, and as you become more accustomed to playing this game,

your sentences can become more complex and include dierent tenses. For example:


13/3212

The Secrets to Practicing Irish Gaelic Every DayEven if you dont live in Ireland. Secret 3: Just the Facts, Ma'am

Fear g tana a bh ann. Bh s an-ard, agus bh gruaig rua air. Bh seanline bhn shalach air . (It was a

thin young man. He was very tall, and he had red hair. He was wearing an old, dirty, white shirt).

TipThis is an especially good game to play in the car, as (assuming youre in the car by yoursel ), you can say

your lines aloud. You can also pick other things to describeor example, the getaway car (i youre learning

numbers, dont orget to give the ocer the license plate number!)

The Secrets to Practicing Irish Gaelic Every DayEven if you dont live in Ireland. Secret 4: Shop 'Til You Drop

Secret 4: Shop 'Til You Drop

We're not talking about shopping 'l you drop for Irish language products! You may not think ofshopping as a vehicle for language pracce, but it really is amazing just how much day-to-day language

you can assimilate by pushing yourself to think in Irish as much as possible. Food and clothing are

terms that are among the earliest that most people learn, and so are very easy to incorporate into

your daily roune.

The methodLets say youre going grocery shopping. Make your grocery list in Irish! If there are words you dont

know, you can look them up in a diconary, or at www.acmhainn.ie/focail.htm under bia agus

deoch (food and drink).

If youre worried you wont remember what the the list says when you get to the store, draw a lile

picture of what you want to buy next to the word or words to remind you. When you get to the store,

look back and forth between what you buy and its name on the list several mes, to cement the

relaonship between the word and the object without resorng to English.

If youre not the self-conscious type, you can even have a lile conversaon with yourself as youre

shopping. For example: T lla de dhth orm. C bhfuil na hulla? T siad ansin, in aice le na prta(I

need apples. Where are the apples? Theyre there, next to the potatoes). If you ARE the self-conscious

type, wear a Bluetooth headset and anyone who happens to hear you talking to yourself in a foreign

language will simply think youre having a phone conversaon!

The Secrets to Practicing Irish Gaelic Every DayEven if you dont live in Ireland. Secret 5: Reading is Fun-damental

Secret 5: Reading is Fun-damental

Reading is an excellent day-to-day way to pracce your Irish. There are many excellent, easy novels

and story collecons geared specically toward adult learners (and some that are geared toward

children can also be very worth reading). Theres even a graphic novel collecon available based on

Irish myths and legends!

Reading silently can be a good way to acquire vocabulary and to get a feel for idioms, and is something

you can do just about anywhereon the bus, on your lunch break, in the evening when others in the

house are watching TV, etc.

The methodOne important step that many learners neglect, however, is reading aloud. When we learned to read

as children, we quickly internalized the lesson that silent reading is beer, and we oen forget that,

when learning a new language, reading out loud is a very good way to make a mental connecon

between how a word looks on paper and how it sounds when spoken.

As you become more comfortable with reading aloud, youll nd that your speech will ow more

naturally in conversaon as well.

The Secrets to Practicing Irish Gaelic Every DayEven if you dont live in Ireland. Secret 5: Reading is Fun-damental

Start slowly at rst. Pick a passage from a book youre reading and read it aloud slowly. Read it a couple

more mes, speeding up toward normal conversaonal speed as you get comfortable with it. At rst you

will stumble over the words, but the more you pracce this, the beer you will become at it.

Tip

Some sources or Irish language books are:

If youre of a religious (Chrisan) bent, you might also nd reading familiar passages from the Bible

(such as the Psalms) helpful. An Irish translaon of the Bible is available free on-line at:

The Secrets to Practicing Irish Gaelic Every DayEven if you dont live in Ireland. Secret 6: Sing a Song

Secret 6: Sing a Song

Educators and parents have known this for years music facilitates learning (if youve ever found

yourself humming the alphabet song while looking up a lisng in the phone book, you know rst-

hand just how well it works!). Even if you dont have the worlds greatest voice, if you like to sing in the

shower (or sing along with the radio in the car), youll nd that learning to sing in Irish will pay great

dividends.

Music is such a powerful learning tool, its hard to describe the many ways in which learning to sing in

Irish can be helpful to the learner, but here are a few things you can expect: You will learn to connect the sound o the language with its appearance much more quickly by singing

it than you will by simply saying it.

You will become accustomed to the way the language eels in your mouth much more quickly than you

will by simply speaking.

As you learn more songs rom uent or native speakers, your own accent and pronunciation will im-

prove.

The more songs you learn, the more natural-sounding idioms you will pick up. Even i you dont under-

stand them at rst, when you encounter them later, they will stick more rmly in your mind becauseyou know them rom songs.

Tip

Because music is so powerul, its absolutely vital that you use only music CDs and books produced by uent

Irish speakers, i not native speakersthat is, by people who actually do SPEAK the language and havent

just learned of a ew songs. I you learn to mispronounce the words in a song, it can be very hard to correctyour pronunciation later.

The methodThere are several ways you can go about learning Irish songs. One is to buy a book and CD set that

is specically designed to teach you a set of Irish songs, such as Mary Mc Laughlins Singing in Irish

Gaelic orA Gaelic Christmas Songbook(available at www.marymclaughlin.com)

Another way is to buy a CD and songbook set geared toward children, such as Ic Pcby Nellie Nic Giolla

Bhrde and Doimnic Mac Giolla Bhrde (available at www.litriocht.comor at www.siopagaeilge.ie).

Yet another way is to buy a performance CD with good liner notes, such as Pdraign N UallachinsA

Str is A Stirn (also available at www.litriocht.com or at www.siopagaeilge.ie).

If youre using a teaching method, you can start by looking at the words in the book as theyre said on

the CD and repeang aer the speaker. If the book includes phonec renderings, please try very hard

to look only at the actual Irish words (yes, avoid them!). Aer youve done that a few mes, listen to

the sung version once or twice. Then try singing along, while following along with the printed words.



19/32

18


If youre using a CD and songbook set that doesnt include a spoken version, or a CD with liner notes,

listen to the song several mes while following along with the printed version. Then try singing along,

using the printed words as a guide.

Once youve sung a parcular song several mes, try singing it from memory.

Once youve memorized a parcular song, sing it oen: In the shower, while driving, while walking the

dog, etc. The more you sing it, the more rmly entrenched its sounds will be in your mind and voice,

and the more you will benet from knowing it.

The Secrets to Practicing Irish Gaelic Every DayEven if you dont live in Ireland. Secret 7: News and Weather

Secret 7: News and Weather

Daily listening pracce is an important part of language learningwe all know that. Whats parcularly

important, however, especially as you progress, is listening to the language as its spoken naturally.

Language learning recordings are helpful when youre just starng to get the sounds of the language,

or to help you rene your own pronunciaon, but theyre not all that helpful when it comes to

understanding day-to-day speech. People who make learning recordings speak slowly and precisely,

so that you can learn to emulate their pronunciaon. When people speak naturally, however, they

tend to speak quickly. They may leave o word endings or run words together, use unfamiliar terms,

or even throw in a bit of English here and there. If you want to achieve uency in a language, its

important that you get pracce listening to it as its spoken naturally.

Fortunately for Irish learners, we have the Irish television channel TG4, which is available to anyone

in the world with a high-speed internet connecon. TG4 oers a full roster of programs, ranging from

documentaries to soap operas, reality shows and childrens programming, most of which also have

English subtles.

The subtled programs are good for passive listening pracce (where you just listen to a show and

let it wash over you without struggling to understand what youre hearing). Passive listening is an

important part of language learning, and something you should do every day. A couple of mes a

week, however, you should pracce acve listening (where you actually try to follow whats being

said)and the ideal vehicle for doing that is the daily news and weather reports.



21/32

20


News and weather reports tend to be short, which is important because this kind of listening pracce

can be ring. They typically arent subtled, so you are forced to rely more heavily on your ears.

They do, however, usually oer visual cues to help you work out whats being talked about. And the

weather reports especially tend to use a lot of terminology that beginners learn early on, so you have

a beer chance of picking out words you know.

The methodTo start, make a list of terms you already know that you might expect to hear on a news or weather

report. Think of countries and people who have been in the news lately, for example. Go to TG4s

website (www.tg4.tv) and nd a news program (they are archived as Nuacht TG4 under Current

Events). Listen closely to the report and see how many of these words you happen to catch

(remember that the words may mutate depending on how theyre used). Dont be discouraged if

you cant catch many at rst. This is challenging for everyone, and takes me and pracce. Use what

you see on the screen as a visual aid. For example, if the presenter says something that sounds like

bahsh or mahsh or wahsh and hes poinng at an image of raindrops or clouds on a map, theres

a good chance that he said bisteach (rain) or bistil (rainy)possibly in one of the mutated

forms.

Once you get a bit more pracced with this, you can try it with subtled programs as well. Oen the

subtles dont translate exactly what the person says, but rather express the same thing using a more

familiar English idiom. Youll be very proud of yourself when youre watching a program and realize

that what the subtler translated as Oh my God! was actually A Mhaighdean! (O Virgin!).



22/32

21


If you dont have high-speed internet, you can sll pracce this using DVDs. Some of TG4s

programming is available on DVD, including some syndicated childrens shows that arent available

on the internet, such as Dora the Explorer and Spongebob Squarepants. These are available from

TG4s on-line shop at www.tg4.ie/siopa/shop/listcats.asp . Be aware that, if you live in the U.S. or

Canada, you may have to play such DVDs on your computer rather than on your TVs DVD player, as

they may not be all-region.

The Secrets to Practicing Irish Gaelic Every DayEven if you dont live in Ireland. Secret 8: On the Radio

Secret 8: On the Radio

In addion to having Irish-language television available to us, we have several choices of Irish-language

radio staons available via the internet. Radio can also work well for acve listening pracce. Its

quite a bit more dicult than television, not only because you dont have the visual cues, but because

radio shows oen feature a rapid-re delivery, or interviews with people who may have unfamiliar

accents. Also, radio staons dont tend to archive their news and weather reports, so you may have to

work with whatever program happens to be on when youre able to listen. Once you get past a certain

level, however, it can be good to challenge yourself in this way.

The same principle applies as with TV programs: Start by making a list of words that you know, then

listen carefully to the broadcast and see how much you can pick up. If you know what programs are

likely to be available when youre able to listen (each staons website will have a schedule), you can

tailor your list to that type of program: for example, polical or weather terms for a news broadcast,

musical terms for an interview with a musician, etc.

Radio programs are also good for praccing passive listening (where you just let the sound wash

over you without acvely struggling to understand). Without the addional input that pictures and

subtles give you, your ear will begin to pick up on the rhythms of the language much more quickly.

Its also easier to make me for this kind of passive listening pracce, as you can listen as you go about

your regular work at home or at a desk.

Secret 9: Reach Out and IRC

Someone

Theres no substute for conversaon when it comes to language building. For those for whom nding

an actual, local conversaon group is dicult), an on-line chat situaon can be very helpful.

One advantage on-line chang has for those who are just beginning to get into conversaon is that

you have me to marshal your thoughts before speaking or replying, which can make beginners

especially feel a lile less self-conscious than they might in a face-to-face situaon.

The only problem with on-line chang is that there may not be anyone in the chat room when youre

able to join (or there may be people there, but the conversaon is at a higher level than youre able

for). If you nd that happens frequently, one soluon is to contact the person/people who organize

the chat and ask if there would be interest in a beginners-level chat at a scheduled me each week.

Chats are oen conducted as an auxiliary to a regular discussion forum, and generally its OK for a

newcomer to ask on the forum if there would be interest in a regularly scheduled beginners chat.

Discussion forums also somemes coordinate Skype chats, which can be as good or beer than a local

conversaon group.

g y yEven if you dont live in Ireland. Secret 10: Just Blog it

Secret 10: Just Blog it

Keeping a blog can be an excellent way to pracce your Irish, especially if youre good about keeping it

up day aer day. This approach will only work for you once you have started to be able to put together

some simply sentences.

The methodAt rst, you may not be able to say much. Perhaps you can talk about where you live or what you do

for work. You can probably describe your pets and family members. Dont worry too much about whatyou say (if youre worried about people being crical, you can always choose to keep your blog private

unless and unl you want input). The important thing is to write directly in Irish, without trying to

translate from English, so keep it simple. Dont worry too much about grammar eitheryour grammar

will improve with pracce, and right now your goal should be to get the Irish owing naturally from

you. Let the mistakes fall where they may. Children tend to do this unselfconsciously when theyre

learning a language, but we adults tend to be self conscious and afraid of making mistakes, which can

actually hinder learning.

As your facility grows, you may want to open your blog to others, asking them to correct your

grammar and usageor you may not. While objecve correcon can be a useful learning tool, if

youre very self-conscious about making mistakes, it can somemes do more harm than good. Thats

something youll need to decide for yourself.

y yEven if you dont live in Ireland. Secret 10: Just Blog it

If you prefer not to put a blog out there on the web, keeping a wrien diary in Irish can also be useful.

Tip

You can get started very quickly with your own blog on one o several ree blogging platorms. It doesn'ttake much technical skills to get started.

To get you quickly started, we suggest registering your blog at Tumblr:www.tumblr.com

Even if you dont live in Ireland. Summary

Summary

There you have it, our top secrets for praccing your Irish every day. The thing with learning a

language is that it needs pracce and lots of it. Big expensive learning programs would like to have

you know that they are all you need to becoming 'uent' in a language. They skip telling you that

learning a language is a huge undertaking for the brain, and takes an investment of many many hours.

However! Those hours you spend on Irish should be fun and interacve. If there's only one secret you

take away from this book, it's: Pracce as oen as you can, in lile chunks.
