Good on you Mike for this thread but would phonetic spellings accompanying the Irish be a possibility? I'm sure I can make a fair stab at pronouncing 'stampa'. Not so confident about 'dleacht'.

It is a man's own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways.

Re: The Irish Language - Lets try & learn one word a week.
Watching the TG4 rugby coverage I keep hearing the same two phrases in the commentary, sometimes 50 or more times in a game. I can only render these phonetically but can anyone translate these from phonics to Irish to English.
The phrases sound like:
Coog ee moon
Coog a line
Any help appreciated.

I assume those phrases were from the match last night. Munster and Leinster is the answer.

Some students here who are taught through the medium of Irish are struggling with home schooling because their parents haven't got a word of it.
Volunteer at an animal sanctuary; it will fill you with joy , despair, but most of all love, unconditional love of the animals.

Re: The Irish Language - Lets try & learn one word a week.
Been a while so it’s 3 words today…….. Mo Ghile Mear meaning My Galant Darling/Hero. It’s a song about Bonnie Prince Charlie and has been sung by a good few folk inc. Mary Black and James Last. My favourite is by UCD Choral Scholars. It’s a shame Trinners Choral Society haven’t done a version yet.

Re: The Irish Language - Lets try & learn one word a week.
I've recently been researching my family history. One side is solid Shankhill Rd and the other is solid Albertbridge Rd. It now seems that a few generations back we had some Irish speakers and at least one link to a senior Republican family. So, your one word a week scheme looks like its going to be a big deal for me!

Re: The Irish Language - Lets try & learn one word a week.
Well let’s go for one more word this week. The RDS is also known as The CRBAC ( pronounced Sirback) and I may be there this Saturday.
And the full spelling is Cumann Rioga Bhaile Atha Cliath ( not too sure how to pronounce it)
