Labhraim mo chuid Ghaeilge b'fheidir 3 nó 4 uair an seactain ar Skype. Tá a fhios agam go deannan mé a lán botún, ach níl mé ach foghlaimeóir agus ba mhaith liom a bheith abalta an nGaeilge a labhairt chomh luath agus is b'fheidir. Tá comhra agam le cara i Manooth gach Dé Domhnaigh ag a 3 (íarnoin in Éirinn) agus tá comhra agam le cara eile i Wisconsin gach DéCéadaoin ag a naoi (oiche). Bhí mé aitne air in Éirinn an samhradh seo caite. Tá rang agam Déardaoin ag a 4 ó chlog le mo mhúinteóir i nDún Phádraig in Éirinn. Ba mhaith liom a bheith liofa (nó ar a laghad a bheith mé mín ag caint) roimh 2015 (31u Mí Nollag) Tcifidh muid conas a rachaidh na rudaí. Go raibh maith agat as an cuidiú ar fad a thabhairt dom gach duine ar an siomh seo. Buíochas libh go leor leor. An rún ..... bígi ag caint!

le meas, agus ag obair liom (working away)

Of course, it is much easier to find someone more advanced when you are just starting off (because everyone is "better than you") but it gets harder and harder to find good teachers and practice partners as you progress.

Hi, in case you are all wondering where your posts disappeared to, Faber's ideas on Basic Building Blocks of Conversation was such an interesting side topic I've split it off on its own:
