GRÚPA YAHOO! BUNAITHE DO STAIDÉAR CHAINT ROS MUC

Tá sé seo istigh ó Éamon Jeffers:

"Tá grúpa bunaithe thall ag http://groups.yahoo.com/group/caintrosmuc/   a bhfuil de chuspóir aige staidéar a dhéanamh ar Chaint Ros Muc, an leabhar agus na taifid a rinneadh sna 60í.  Scéalta an-suimiúla atá iontu, agus beidh seans againn Gaeilge labhartha a chleachtadh – idir ag éisteacht agus ag caint.  Tá rithim bhreá nádúrtha le cloisteáil ó Ghaeilge na dtaifead, agus tá chuile fhocal dhe scríofa sa leabhar.

"Beidh muid ag obair mar fhoireann – níos sásúla ná bheith i t'aonar ar ndóigh.  Bheadh an grúpa feiliúnach d'éinne a bhfuil Learning Irish, nó cúrsa eile dhá leithéid, léite aige cheana.  Ach ní gá bheith líofa.  Má tá Gaeilge cineál ciotach againn, mara mbíonn muid in ann Gaeilge labhartha a thuiscint chomh éasca sin, má tá blas uafásach ar ár gcuid Ghaeilge, tá súil againn na deacrachtaí sin a réiteach thrí obair in éindí le chéile!

"Má tá suim agaibh, nó má tá sibh in ann cuidiú linn, beidh fáilte romhaibh."

Go raibh maith agat, a Éamoin, agus comhghairdeachas libh ar bhur ngrúpa breá!

YAHOO! GROUP ESTABLISHED FOR STUDY OF THE ROS MUC DIALECT

 This is in from Éamon Jeffers:

"A group has been set up over at  http://groups.yahoo.com/group/caintrosmuc/ to study Caint Ros Muc, the book and recordings of the Ros Muc dialect that were made back in the 60s.  They contain really interesting stories, and we'll have the chance to practice our spoken Irish – both listening and speaking.  There's a lovely natural rhythm to the Irish in the recordings, and every word is transcribed in the book.

"We'll be working as a team – more pleasing than working on your own, of course.  The group would be suitable for anyone who has already read Learning Irish, or a similar course.  But there's no need to be fluent.  If our Irish is a bit clumsy, if we can't easily understand spoken Irish, if we speak Irish with some awful accent, then we hope to fix those problems by working together.

"If you're interested, or if you can help us, then you'll be welcome."

Thank you, Éamon, and congratulations on your fine group!
