Yeah, sorry about that. My internet connection went down for a bit.

Your page is very interesting, hopefully I'll get a premium account at some point. I'm too poor to pay for one :L Can't seem to find any clients!

Hey, that was perfect Irish! Good job!

My wexford-contact also always has issues with his connection - he is always joking about it how irish internet is behind the moon lol

And the premium membership - well what of the features it offers are you most interested in? I actually only still keep it because I got so used to the journal skins and to browsing 120 deviations a page - the rest - oh well...I could do without it xD

And as for my irish - I told you I know a few expressions and words but I wouldn't know how to pronounce them

It's true! Ireland has terrible internet for the most part! I think I've just gotten use to it now!

I'm interested in all the features, I still have to learn how to use custom skins for the journal I love how you can zoom in on images without clicking into the page (Helps for my connection lol)

Thank you soooo much for the memebership! I really appreciate!

Pronouncing words in Irish is actually difficult, now that I think about it Never really thought about that! lol

Well I can adapt a lot - I'm at the moment practising a hebrew song - I don't speak and don't understand it but actually can adapt the pronounciation of the singer very well

I can also pronounce the irish words in the song "Siúil a rún" by Clannad - it only took me some practise. The song is also known as "Siúil a grá" by other musicians with slightly different lyrics.

I have a little book for traveling knowledge they explain the very bare basics of grammar and some other side information and also have some kind of phonetic alphabet for each word but I just can't do anything with that. There came a cassette with the book but I don't have a cassette player (anymore) so yeah I guess I would need a native speaker to teach me the pronounciation and to maybe support me understanding the stuff in the book better - I'm not really good teaching things like languages myself by using books

Actually when I joined dA I joined because they had a chat and when my english was good enough I was hoping to someday met someone who speaks irish and not only a few words I think it could come in handy to be able to speak and understand a few sentences when I'll someday be able to travel up there - even though there are different dialect such as Munster, Ulster and Connacht but actually each region has their own sub dialects as well ^^

And Galway is most likely the biggest area of Ireland where Irish is still used frequently ^^ Even though your Profile says your current residence is Carlow is actually pretty close to Co. Wexford ^^
