2: Timpiste sa Choláiste Samhraidh Flashcards
Last summer, off the three went; Seán, Liam and Peter to the gaeltacht in dingle in kerry for a month
An samhradh see caite as go brach le trúir; Seán, Liam ages Peadar chun na Gaeltacht i gCorca Dhuibhne i gCiarraí ar feadh míosa
To polish their irish
Chun snas a chuir ar a gcuid Gaeilge
The 3 got a lift from Peter’s parents and they told them
fuair an trúir síob ó thuistí Pheadair a dúurt leo
to enjoy the course
chun taitneamh a bhaint as an gcúrsa
to be careful and
chun a bheith cúramach agus
they wished them good luck
ghugh siad ádh mór orthu
Even though the boys were excited, they were kind of scared too because they only had rotten irish
Cé go raibh na buachaillí ar bís, bhí saghas eagla orthu chomh maith toisc nach raibh ach Gaeilge lofa acu
Every day was the same
Bhí gach lá mar an gcéanna
Every morning they had classes where the teachers put a lot of emphasis on conversation
Gach maidin bhíodh ranganna acu inar chuireadh na múinteoirí an-bhéim ar chomhrá
But they did study on poetry and on prose too
Ach rinne siad staidíear ar fhilíocht agus ar phrós chomh maith
The teachers were amazing mostly except for two that hard to understand because they had a northern accent
Bhí na múinteoirí go h-iontach don chuid is mó de sachas beirt a bhí deacair a thuiscint tios gur labhair siad le blas an tuaiscirt
After lunch there were games organised, outside and inside because everything was depending on the weather
Tar bis am lain bhíodh cluichí socruithe, amuigh agus istigh mar bhíodh gach rud ag braith ar an aimsir
They ate their dinner with Bean an Tí between six and seven o clock and after that there was a céilí arranged or a talent show
D’ithidis a ndinnéar le Bean an Tí idir a sé agus a seacht a chlog agus ina dhiadh sin bhí céilí socruithe nó seó tallainne
They had to be in bed at half ten when the main cinnire called the roll
Bhíodh orthu bheith sa leaba ag leathuair tar éis a deich nuair a ghlaodh an t-ardchinnire an rolla
One day there was a football game on beside the beach and Seán fell down heavily on his right leg
Lá amháin bhí cluiche peile ar soúl in air na trá agus thit Seán anuas go trom ar a chos dheis
The pain was terrible and he thought that there was a broken bone and not only broken but broken badly
Bhí an pian go h-uafásach agus cheap sé go raibh cnámh briste agus ní amháin briste ach briste go dona
