Gaeilge ag Ollscoil Notre Dame Roinn Theanga agus Litríocht na Gaeilge Bunaíodh Notre Dame mar ollscoil Chaitliceach in 1842 i dTuaisceart Indiana in aice le Chicago. Faoi láthair tá breis is deich míle mac léinn ag staidéar san ollscoil (mic léinn iarchéime san áireamh) agus aithnítear í go forleathan mar cheann de na hollscoileanna is fearr sna Stáit. Tá an Ghaeilge á teagasc i Notre Dame ó 1868 nuair a thairg an Br. Simon ranganna den chéad uair. Thug Dubhghlas de hÍde cuairt ar Notre Dame, lean Éamon de Valera é i 1919 agus ba chuairteoir rialta é Séamus Mac Manus. Bunaíodh Roinn Theanga agus Litríocht na Gaeilge, an t-aon roinn dá shórt sna Stáit Aontaithe, in Ollscoil Notre Dame i 2004. I dteannta leis an Ollamh Breandán Ó Buachalla, M.R.I.A. atá anois mar Thomas J. and Kathleen O’Donnell Chair of Irish Language and Literature, tá cúigear eile ar an bhfoireann ag teagasc na Gaeilge agus ag déanamh taighde i leabharlann Hesburgh ina bhfuil bailiúchán Gaeilge den scoth. Tá leabharlannaí dhátheangach ar fáil chun cabhrú le scoláirí atá i mbun		taighde. Ceapadh an Dr. Bríona Nic Dhiarmada i mbliana mar ollamh le Nua-Ghaeilge agus tá léachtaí tugtha ag an Ollamh Gearóid Ó Tuathaigh, ag an Ollamh Alan Titley agus ag an Ollamh Joseph F. Nagy mar aoichainteoirí le gairid. Chun faisnéis sa bhreis a fháil, téigh go Gaeilge in Ollscoil Notre Dame. Scoláireacht do Ph.D. sa Litríocht Mar thoradh ar an dul chun cinn le tamall anuas agus an méadú suntasach ar líon na mac léinn a roghnaíonn an Ghaeilge mar ábhar bliain i ndiaidh bliana ag Notre Dame, tá deis anois do mhac léinn le Gaeilge dochtúireacht sa Litríocht a bhaint amach. Scoláireacht iomlán é seo do Ph.D. sa litríocht ina mbeidh an Ghaeilge mar phríomhábhar. Gheofar gach eolas ag: Ph.D sa Litríocht. Ní ghlacfar ach le hiarratas ar líne don Ph.D. sa Litríocht. An tOllamh Breandán Ó Buachalla, Notre Dame agus An tOllamh Joseph F. Nagy, UCLA (Tá an t-alt seo athchlóite le caoinchead ó Ollscoil Notre Dame. Go raibh míle maith agaibh, a chairde!)

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.

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 for 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.

Fosta, ná bíodh ionadh ort má fheiceann tú alt ar scríobh ár mball Séamas Ó Neachtain san eagrán seo de Nós. Déanta go maith, a chairde. Maith sibh!		A new Nós is available! This is in from Félim Borland who sent the information to the on-line list Gaeilge-A. Thank you, Félim!

This is in from our member Pádraig Ó Clúmháin. Go raibh maith agat, a Phádraig! The use of Irish is increasing in the European 'Commission, in the European Union, and in Brussels. Now, the first newspaper in Irish in Brussels is available here: Anam Beo. This newspaper will be reporting "about the language and Gaelic culture." Dr. Seán Ó Riain, an expert in the Commission's translations department, says "having a publication in Irish will help promote the language among the 15,000 or so Irish people living in Brussels." And Donnchadh Ó Buachalla, Managing Editor, says "With the advent of modern technology, Anam Beo should reach 200,000 Irish speakers on every highway and byway." You can read his words here: Donnchadh's Cover Notes. Well done, a chairde! Congratulations!

Focal ó An Gael Tá Gaeilge beo in ollscoileanna Mheirceá Thuaidh Cé go raibh suim mhór i Nua-Ghaeilge in ollscoileanna Mheirceá Thuaidh ag deireadh na naoú haoise déag agus ag tús na fichiú haoise, de ghnáth ní raibh aon Nua-Ghaeilge le fáil in ollscoileanna Mheirceá Thuaidh um lár na fichiú haoise. Cinnte go raibh eisceachtaí tábhachtachta, mar Ken Nilsen agus a ranganna i Nua-Ghaeilge ag Harvard sna 1970í. Ach, faraor, ní raibh ach Sean-Gaeilge agus Meán-Ghaeilge mar theangacha marbh in ndornán ollscoileanna eile, agus (go bhfios dom) ba é sin an scéal. Mar sin, thit sé go príomha ar scoileanna cois claí nua-aimseartha an teanga a choimeád beo i Meiriceá Thuaidh ó lár na fichiú haois go dtí na 1990í. Táim ag caint anseo faoi eagraíochtaí mar Chumann na Gaeilge Nua-Eabhraic (i Manhattan), Chumann Bhreandáin (i mBrúiclinn), Chumann Carad na Gaeilge / The Philo-Celtic Society (in áiteanna mar Manhattan agus Oileán Fada), Chonradh na Gaeilge (i mBoston, sa Bhronx, agus in áiteanna eile timpeall na tíre), agus níos déanaí eagraíochtaí mar An Claidheamh Soluis / The Irish Arts Center (i Manhattan agus Los Angeles), An Scoil Ghaeilge (i Manhattan), Daltaí na Gaeilge (ar fud na mór-roinne), Scoil Ghaeilge Ghearóid Tóibín (i mBablón, Oileán Fada, Nua-Eabhrac), agus araile. Ag tógáil Scoil Ghaeilge Ghearóid Tóibín mar shampla, bunaíodh an scoil seo i 1988. Thosaigh a múinteoirí le bun-ranganna agus meán-ranganna. Ach céim ar chéim, chuaigh an scoil ar aghaidh go dtí go raibh (agus go mbíonn) ardcheardlanna á múineadh acu ar ábhair mar litríocht, sheanchas, bhéaloideas, amhránaíocht, mhiotas, agus stair na hÉireann, agus gach ardcheardlann acu teagasctha trí mheán na Gaeilge ó 1993. Ar ndóigh, sin é an chaoi a bheith cinnte go bhfuil an teanga beo, má tá daoine á labhairt chun cúrsaí eile a phlé nó a fhoghlaim. Agus anois, tá sár-áthas orm a thuairsciú go bhfuil an leibhéal forbartha seo céanna á shroicheadh go tapaidh ag ollscoileanna áirithe i Meirceá Thuaidh mar Choláiste Lehman-CUNY, a thosaigh a hInstitiúid an Léinn Ghael-Mheiriceánaigh i 2000, agus Ollscoil Notre Dame, a thosaigh a hInstitiúid Mhic Eochaidh an Léinn Éireannaigh i 1992 agus a Roinn Theanga agus Litríocht na Gaeilge i 2004. I gColáiste Lehman-CUNY, is féidir leat IRI 300: Introduction to Literary Studies (Gaeilge ag CUNY) a thógáil ar líne trí mheán na Gaeilge. Agus ag Ollscoil Notre Dame, is féidir leat 60312.01 Clasaici na Gaeilge (Clasaicí ag Notre Dame) a thógáil trí mheán na Gaeilge. Gan amhras go bhfuil forbairtí mar seo ar siúl nach bhfuil aithne againn orthu. (Má tá, inis dúinn le do thoil!) Ar aon chuma, mar a dúirt mé, má tá tú ag baint feidhme as Gaeilge, sin é an chaoi a bheith cinnte go bhfuil ár dteanga beo. Mar sin, comhghairdeachas libh, a chairde! (Ár mbuíochas leis an tOllamh Clare Carroll ag Coláiste Queens - CUNY a tharraing ár n-aird ar na forbairtí tábhachtacha seo.) - An Gael		A Word from An Gael Irish is alive in North American universities Although there was a great deal of interest in Modern Irish in North American universities at the end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th century, usually there wasn't any Modern Irish to be found in North American universities by the middle of the 20th century. Certainly there were important exceptions, like Ken Nilsen's classes in Modern Irish at Harvard in the 1970s. But, unfortunately, there was only Old Irish and Middle Irish as dead languages in a handful of other universities, and (as far as I know), that was it. Therefore, it fell principally to modern hedge schools to keep the language alive in North America from the middle of the 20th century to the 1990s. Here I'm talking about organizations like the New York Gaelic Society (in Manhattan), Cumann Bhreandáin (in Brooklyn), Cumann Carad na Gaeilge / The Philo-Celtic Society (in places like Manhattan and Long Island), Conradh na Gaeilge (in Boston, in the Bronx, and in other places around the country), and more recently organizations like An Claidheamh Soluis / The Irish Arts Center (in Manhattan and Los Angeles), An Scoil Ghaeilge (in Manhattan), Daltaí na Gaeilge (across the continent), Scoil Ghaeilge Ghearóid Tóibín (in Babylon, Long Island, New York), and others. Taking Scoil Ghaeilge Ghearóid Tóibín as an example, this school was founded in 1988. Its teachers started with beginning and intermediate classes. But step by step, the school advanced until there were (and are always) advanced workshops being taught on subjects like literature, seanchas, oral tradition, the song tradition, myth, and the history of Ireland, with each advanced workshop taught through Irish since 1993. Of course, that's the way to be certain that the language is alive, if people are speaking it to discuss or learn about other matters. And now, I am extremely pleased to report that this same level of development is being reached quickly by certain universities in North America like Lehman College-CUNY, which started its Institute For Irish-American Studies in 2000, and the University of Notre Dame, which began its Keough Institute for Irish Studies in 1992 and its Department of Irish Language and Literature in 2004. At Lehman College-CUNY, you can take IRI 300: Introduction to Literary Studies (Gaeilge ag CUNY) on-line through the medium of the Irish language. And at the University of Notre Dame, you an take 60312.01 Clasaici na Gaeilge (Clasaicí ag Notre Dame) through the medium of the Irish language. No doubt there are other developments like this going on that we don't know about. (If so, please tell us!) At any rate, as I said, if you're using Irish, that's the way to be certain that our language is alive. Therefore, congratulations, a chairde! (Our thanks to Dr. Clare Carroll at Queens College - CUNY who brought these important developments to our attention.) - An Gael
