I don't see a lot of Gaelic on Hoganstand. The GAA is supposed to promote Gaeilge. So cad é an Scéal? Lets try and see more posters using our native tongue. Slán galwayford (Galway) - Posts: 2519 - 16/10/2016 19:56:12 1926706 Link
Gaelic isn't a language. Irish or Gaeilge is a Gaelic Language. MesAmis (Dublin) - Posts: 13707 - 16/10/2016 20:09:47 1926713 Link
It's a good bit easier to use English, which everyone on here understands. Realistically how many posters on here would have sufficiently good Irish for there to be any sort of interesting discussion. Whammo86 (Antrim) - Posts: 4217 - 16/10/2016 20:35:41 1926719 Link

Replying To dingle2: "Mise." Mise freisin. galwayford, thank you for posting this. How about a thread in Irish therefore? And any topic can be discussed on it? Riail amháin afach; ní cheadófaí daoine a cháineadh as earráidí nó botúin gramadaigh nó litrithe; tá roinnt suíomh ar chuid eile den idirlíon le haghaidh na craice seo. So... who wants to start it?

Bhí snáth trí Ghaeilge ar Hoganstand tráth. D' fhéadfaimis ceann eile a thosú dá mbeadh suim ann. Rialacha: 1. Cosc ar grammar Nazis!!! 2. Cosc ar dhíospóireacht bainte leis an dteanga (no pointless debates about the language and all that crap, just GAA talk etc) 3. Déanann gach duine iarracht ach is féidir cúpla focail Béarla anois is arís chun do phointe a chur in iúl Bheadh siúd mo rialacha ar son nós.

Let's be real, not many can speak irisk, I can't, I only know the basics like everyone else, most people here on this page who wrote in irish probably used google translate, I think blame our education system on how irish is thought, you'd think learning irish for 12 years we would all speak it, I did spanish for 3 years and can speak more words than irish, the way we teach irish needs to change rebelfan (Cork) - Posts: 70 - 17/10/2016 11:40:54 1926878 Link

I don't think gotmilk did because the words are spelled more phonetically, and it makes sense. Similarly, I don't think MesAmis used Google Translate either, because it also makes sense. Google Translate is a bit awful (but we'd figure it out). I agree, the education system is awful. If you study German, you learn that it has masculine and feminine genders (and neuter) and that is has a genitive case (and other cases). How many Irish school-leavers know that Irish has masculine and feminine and a genitive case? I think the teaching of Irish needs to start from scratch when you hit first year, so that all the grammatical stuff will be re-learned at the same time as the grammar of French/German/etc. So... use the old thread or create a new one? :D Tacaí Liatroma (Leitrim) - Posts: 1029 - 17/10/2016 13:30:33 1926935 Link
Irish isn't taught brilliantly by some teachers etc etc etc. However if you've been taught Irish to some degree for 12/13 years of your schooling and don't have more than a couple of words it's not entirely the system's fault. MesAmis (Dublin) - Posts: 13707 - 17/10/2016 13:32:27 1926936 Link
