6: An Ghaeilge - seoid luachmhar Flashcards
There is a small town in Ireland called town of the golden rocks
Tá bailee beag in Éirinn darb ainm Baile na Carraige Óire
Even though it is not in any gaeltacht, they do their best in the town to put forward the Irish
Cé nach bhfuil sé suite i ngaeltacht ar bith, déanann siad a ndícheall sa bhaile sin chun an Ghaeilge a chur chun cinn
The names of the shops in Irish and if there are any ads in the window, they are written in Irish too
Tá ainmneacha na siopaí sa Ghaeilge agus má tá fógraí ar bith sna fuinneoga, tá siad scríofa sa Gaeilge chomh maith
a couple of weeks ago when Síle and Seán went to visit the place, they were very happy that Irish was being spoken and was on show in that place
Cúpla seachtain ó shin nuair a thug Síle agus Seán cuairt ar an áit sin
They sorted to do their best to put forward the language in their own area and school
Shocraigh said a ndícheall a dhéanamh chun an teanga a chur chun cinn ina gceantar féin agus ar scoil
off they went home looking for Irish courses in the gaeltacht and saw on the Facebook website that there was a wide variety of courses available in every province of the country
as go brach leo abhaile ag long cúrsaí gaeilge sa ghaeltacht agus chonaic siad ar an suíomh gréasáin “Facebook” go raibh lear mhór cursaí ar fáil i ngach cúige sa tír
They settled to go to Dingle. They chose that specific course because they had classes based on the leaving cert itself
Shocraigh said chun due chug Corca Dhuibhne. Roghnaigh siad an cúrsa áirithe sin toisc go raibh na ranganna bunaithe ar an Ardeist féin
The month after they were south in county kerry attending a great course and college
An Mhí dár gcionn bhí siad theas i gContae Chiarraí ag freastal ar chúrsa agus ar choláiste den scoth
In the mornings they attended different classes
Sa maiden d’fhreastal siad ar ranganna éagsúla
they were all of the same opinion that the teachers were great, kind and helpful
bhí siad go léir d’aon guth go raibh na múinteoirí go h-iontach, cineálta agus cabhrúil
After lunch there were different games organised - volleyball, basketball, swimming, climbing, orienteering, heritage trips
Tar éis an lain bhí cluichí éagsúla socruithe - eitpheil, cispheil, snámh, dreapadóireacht, rianadóireacht, turais oidhreachta
and every night without fail there was a céilí going on in the college’s hall
agus gach oíche gan teip bhí céilí ar siúl i Halla an Choláiste
Even though they were there almost a month, they didn’t feel the time sliding by
Cé go rabid siad ann le beagnach mí, níor mhothaigh siad an t-am ag sleamhnú thart
and of course with all of the different events, nobody was unoccupied
agus dár ndóigh leis na h-imeachtaí éagsúla go léir, ní raibh éinne díomhaoin
Returning to school they were fluent and to put that fluency forward, they founded a conversation group in irish at lunchtime everyday
Ag filled chun na scoile bhí siad líofa agus chun an líofacht a chur cinn, bhunaigh siad ciorcak cainte sa Gaeilge gach lá ag am lóin
They started with 4 people but after a month there were more than 20 people attending every day
Thosaigh said le ceathrar ach tar éis míssa bhí breis is fiche i láthair gach lá
They were all discussing different things from the education system and the points’ system to the debs dance at the end of the year
Bhí said go lair ag cur is ag cúiteamh faoi rudaí éagsúla ón gcóras oideachais agus córas na bpointí, go dtí an rince debs ag deireadh na bliana
not only that but when the school day was over, a good few of the students listened to RnaG and many others watched the soap ros na run on TG4, without the subtitles of course
ní amháin sin ach nuair a bhí an lá sociale taart, d’éist roinnt mhaith de na daltaí le Raidio na Gaeltachta agus d’fhéach roinnt eile ar an sobchlár Ros na Rún ar TG4 - agus gan na fotheidil dár ndóigh
without knowing it themselves the principal realised the efforts that they all did all over the school to strengthen and put forward the language through all of the students
I gnan fhios dóibh féin thug an príomhooide faoi deara na h-iarrachtaí go léir a rinne siad ar fud na sociale chun an teanga a neartú agus a chur chun cinn i measc na ndaltaí go léir
she awarded them a big award in the form of a marble plate with their names written on it
bhronn sí gradam mór orthu i bhfoirm pláta marmair lena h-ainmneacha scríofa air
cad iad na h-uirlisí ceoil a bhí ar dhíol sa siopa ceoil 4
bhí rogha iontach ann
- cláirseach
- bodhrán
- bosca ceoil
- banjo
Can sagas fógra a bhí ag crocadh ar an doras
bhí fógra ann ag fógairt sladmhargadh na cásca
Cá bhfuair siad an t-eolas go léir faoin ngaeltacht
ar an suíomh gréasáin facebook
is iontach an taighde a rinne siad
Can saghas imechtaí a bhí ar siúl sa ghaeltacht sin?
Ná bí ag caint
sa mhaiin bhí ranganna acu - ranganna filíochta, ranganna próis, ranganna comhrá agus léigh siad an drama an trial
Sa thranóna bhí peil, eitpheil agus turais oidhreachta
agus san oíche bhí céilí acu
