Focail Ghaeilge in English

Wednesday Jun 02, 2021

Bíonn mo bhean chéile míshásta liom mar úsáidim "wan" in ionad "one" as Béarla. But where does that unusual pronunciation of one come from? It got me thinking what other words do we use that may come from Irish? So I did some research and here are some words that we use regularly that may, or just as likely may not, have come from Irish.

Faoi Pod Beag

Is podchraoladh dátheangach é. That means it's a bi-lingual podcast. As a learner myself sometimes it's easier to talk about something in English rather than as Gaeilge.

Bhí mé ag lorg podchraoladh do neamhthosaitheoir le Gaeilge. Tá a lán ar fáil do foghlaimeoirí ag tosnú nó cainteoir líofa. Ach do dhaoine nach tosaitheoirí teanga iad an podchraoladh seo.

This podcast is aimed at people who are looking to chun feabhas a chur ar a gcuid Gaeilge by providing useful resources and tips and tricks that I learn myself as I try to improve my Irish.

Níl cursa Gaeilge é mar nílim liofa. Is foghlaimeoir mé chomh maith. Déanaim go leor botúin.
