An Iris Idirnáisiúnta "An Lúibín" as an Astráil Tá iris idirnáisiúnta á cur amach saor in aisce le roinnt mhaith blianta anois le Colin Ryan san Astráil. Gaeilgeoir as Melbourne na hAstráile is ea é, agus foilsítear a scéalta agus ábhar eile sna hirisí Gaeilge. Creideann sé gur teanga idirnáisiúnta í an Ghaeilge, agus mar bheart de réir a bhriathair, foilsíonn sé "An Lúibín" freisin. Pléitear cúrsaí teanga agus cultúir san iris, agus ní dhéantar faillí i gcúrsaí an domhain trí chéile. Dá mba mhaith leat triall a bhaint as "An Lúibín," cuir r-phost chuig Colin ag ColinG.Ryan@ato.gov.au .		The international magazine "An Lúibín" from Australia An international magazine has been published for free for a good number of years now by Colin Ryan in Australia. He's an Irish speaker from Melbourne, Australia, and his stories and more are published in the Irish language magazines.

Léirmheas: Féin-teagasc go hÉasca Péasca ar líne Tá a lán suíomhanna ar an idirlíon anois ag tabhairt cabhrach d'fhoghlaimeoirí. Is ceann acu é Éasca Péasca. Bíonn a dhéanmhas soiléir agus furasta a leanúint. Bíonn a chomhaid fuaime glan agus so-chloiste. Aon am nach n-oibríonn cnap "Seinn/Play," is féidir leat an comhad a íoslódáil chuig do ríomhaire chun é a chloisteáil ar aon chuma ar do thoil. I mo bharúil féin, áfach, sílim go bhfuil an suíomh oiriúnach do mheánfhoghlaimeoirí agus daoine ag teacht ar ais chuig an teanga, ach nach bhfuil sé oiriúnach d'fhoghlaimeoirí den bhunleibhéal. Leis sin ráite, sílim gur uirlis den scoth é. Chun úsáid a bhaint as an suíomh seo, téigh go dtí Éasca Péasca.		Review: Easy Peasy Self-Teaching on-line There are lots of websites now on the internet giving help to beginners. Éasca Péasca ('Easy Peasy') is one of them. Its structure is completely clear and easy to follow. Its sound files are clean and easy to hear. Any time that a "Play" button doesn't work, you can download the file to your computer to hear it anyway whenever you want. In my own opinion, however, I think that the site is suitable for intermediate learners and people who are coming back to the language, but it is not suitable for learners who are at the beginning level. With that said, I think that this is an excellent tool. To use this website, go to Éasca Péasca.

Focal ó An Gael Ré Nua do Ghaeilge Mar a chonaic sibh thuas, buíochas le saoránaigh phríobáideacha mar Tony McConn agus David McConn ag City Sightseeing Dublin, agus daoine eile, tá Gaeilge ag teacht ar ais i bpríomhchathair na hÉirinn. Ag an am céanna, tá Taoiseach nua (Brian Ó Comhain) agus Tánaiste nua (Máire Ní Chochláin) ag an tír. Labhraíonn siad Gaeilge go nádúrtha, go líofa, aon uair, aon áit, ar aon ghnó rialtais, nó ar aon ghnó eile atá uathu. Cuireann fíricí mar seo i mo mheabhar rud a tharla timpeall an domhain breis agus 70 bliain ó shin. Nuair a tháinig na "talkies" isteach sna blianta 1927-1929, ba chiúta iad go bunúsach. Ach i 1930, tháinig an scannán "Anna Christie" amach, agus a mhana poiblíochta "Garbo Talks!" Ba cheann desna réalta scannáin is mó ar an domhain í Greta Garbo, agus leis an scannán sin bhí a fhios ag cách go raibh ré nua tagtha. Tá rud beagán cosúil leis sin ar siúl anois. Diúltaímid a bheith inár dtost a thuilleadh, ní amháin sna Gaeltachtaí ach ar fud na tíre. Ní amháin in Éirinn, ach ar fud an domhain. Labhraímid. Aon áit, aon am, ar aon rud atá uainn. Inár dteanga féin. Agus mar sin, tuigtear go bhfuil Gaeilge ag teacht ar ais i ngach áit, go mbeidh ár leithéid ann arís, agus go deo. - An Gael		A Word from An Gael A New Era for Irish As you saw above, thanks to private citizens like Tony McConn and David McConn at City Sightseeing Dublin, and others, Irish is coming back to Ireland's capital. At the same time, the country has a new Taoiseach (Brian Ó Comhain) and a new Tánaiste (Máire Ní Chochláin). They speak Irish naturally, fluently, any time, any place, about any government business, or any other business they want. Facts like these remind me of something that happened around the world more than seventy years ago. When 'talkies' came in during the years 1927-1929, they were basically a gimmick. But in 1930, the film "Anna Christie" came out, and its publicity slogan "Garbo Talks!" Greta Garbo was one of the biggest film stars in the world, and with that film everyone knew that a new era had come. Something a little like that is happening now. We refuse to be silent anymore, not only in the Gaeltachtaí but throughout the country. Not not only in Ireland, but throughout the world. We speak. Any place, any time, about anything we want. In our own language. And therefore, it's understood that Irish is coming back everywhere, that our like will be seen again, and forever. - An Gael
