An bhfaca tú é seo?

Did you see this?

Téacs-go-hUrlabhra Ríomhairithe ag Coláiste na Trionóide:  www.abair.ie

Is féidir leat Gaeilge a scríobh sa bhosca anseo agus déarfaidh do ríomhaire é le blas Gaeilge Uladh mar bhean as Gaoth Dobhair.  Nó is féidir leat feidhm a bhaint as an sintéiseoir seo chun éisteacht le téacs ar shuíomhanna idirlín Gaeilge.  Tá an tionscadal seo á stiúradh ag an Ollamh Ailbhe Ní Chasaide agus a foireann iontach den tSaotharlann Foghraíochta agus Urlabhra atá mar chuid d'Ionad an Léinn Teangacha agus Chumarsáide i Scoil na nEolaíochtaí Teangeolaíochta, Urlabhra agus Cumarsáide, Coláiste na Tríonóide, Baile Átha Cliath. 
 

Computerized Text-to-Speech at Trinity College:  www.abair.ie

You can type Irish into the box here and your computer will speak it with an Ulster Irish accent like a woman from Gaoth Dobhair.  Or you can use this synthesizer to listen to text on Irish language websites.  This project is being steered by Professor Ailbhe Ní Chasaide and her wonderful team from the Phonetics and Speech Laboratory which is part of the Centre for Language and Communications Studies in the School of Linguistic, Speech, and Communication Sciences, Trinity College, Baile Átha Cliath.

agus a thodhchaí

Seo daoibh sliocht as r-phost tábhachtach atá le fáil as Gaeilge ar an liosta idirlín Gaeilge-A an mhí seo:

18/06/08

A Chara,

TAG: Todhchaí Lá Nua ( www.nuacht.com )

Tá mé ag iarraidh gar ort arís, ach an uair seo is iad do thuairimí
atá de dhíth orm.

Tá próiseas athbhreithnithe ag dul ar aghaidh faoi láthair ag Foras
na Gaeilge faoin tacaíocht a thugann sé d'fhoilseachán nuachta
Gaeilge. Beidh éifeacht mhór ag an athbhreithniú seo ar thodhchaí Lá Nua, agus tá mé cinnte go bhfuil sé fíorthábhachtach go mbeidh seirbhís reatha Lá Nua luaite go dearfach agus go moltach sna freagraí a thagann isteach ón phobal.

Mar sin, tá mé ag iarraidh ort do thacaíocht leanúnach do Lá Nua a chur in iúl trí aighneacht a chur isteach go Foras na Gaeilge a
léiríonn cé chomh sásta is atá tú le seirbhís reatha Lá Nua...

Seol d'aighneacht ar ais chuig: Foras na Gaeilge, 7 Cearnóg
Mhuirfean, Baile Átha Cliath 2

Creidim go láidir go bhfuil todhchaí an nuachtáin seo ag brath ar
aighneachtaí dearfa faoi Lá Nua a chur isteach mar chuid den
phróiseas seo, agus impím ort é sin a dhéanamh go luath.

(Ar ndóigh, má tá tú míshásta le gné ar bith den nuachtán, cuir sin in iúl dom go pearsanta.)

Is mise le meas

Dónall Mac Giolla Chóill

and its future

This is an excerpt from an important email which is to be found in Irish on the internet list Gaeilge-A this month:

18/06/08

A Chara,

Re: Future of Lá Nua ( www.nuacht.com )

I'm asking a favor of you again, but this time it's your opinion that's needed.

A review process is going forward at present at Foras na Gaeilge about the support it provides to the publication of Irish language news. This review will have a large effect on the future of Lá Nua, and I am certain that it will be truly important for the current service of Lá Nua to  be mentioned specifically, positively, and with praise  in the answers which come in from the community.

Therefore, I am asking you that you make known your continuing support for Lá Nua by sending in to Foras na Gaeilge a submission which demonstrates how satisfied you are with Lá Nua's current service.... 

Send your submission to:  Foras na Gaeilge, 7 Cearnóg
Mhuirfean, Baile Átha Cliath 2

I believe strongly that the future of this newspaper depends upon affirmative submissions about Lá Nua being send in as part of this process, and I ask you to do that immediately.

(Of course, if you are dissatisfied with any aspect of the newspaper, let me know that personally.)

Is mise le meas

"Chonaic mé an nasc a leanas san Irish Times....  Tá ceachtanna Gaeilge ar shuíomh Ollscoil na hÉireann, Má Nuad bunaithe ar chláir nuachta ó TG4.  I ngach ceacht, tá tuairisc nuachta le feiceáil agus ceisteanna le freagairt ar an tuairisc.  Bíonn na ceachtanna ag trí leibhéil...  Ag deireadh gach ceachta bíonn téacs an scéil scríofa amach (i nGaeilge amháin).  Ceapaim gur féidir libh an-fheidhm a bhaint as an áis nua seo chun bhur gcuid Gaeilge a fheabhsú."  Féach ar Má Nuad .

This report is in from Shanti Hofshi in San Diego and Máire Mhic an Phríora in Dublin.  Thank you both, a chairde!

"I saw the following link in this month's Irish Times.  There are Irish language lessons on the website of the University of Ireland, Maynooth, based on news programs from TG4.  In every lesson, there is a news report to watch and questions to answer about the report. The lessons are at three levels... At the end of each lesson the text of the story is written out (in Irish only). I think that you can make great use of this new resource in order to improve your Irish."  See Maynooth .

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. 
 

Tá iris nua Ghaeilge ar fáil anois ag www.nosmag.com , agus is fiú na línte seo óna heagarthóirí a ath-chló anseo: "Ba í an sprioc a leagadh síos nuair a bheartaigh muid ar iris bhríomhar nua-aoiseach a chur ar fáil do phobal domhanda ár dteanga ná tionchar dearfach splancúil a imirt ar an saol thart orainn - seirbhís shiamsúil a sholáthar a spreagfadh ár léitheoirí agus a chuirfeadh in iúl go bhfuil an Ghaeilge beo beathach sa 21ú aois."

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 Irish language magazine is now available at www.nosmag.com , and it's worthwhile to reprint these lines from its editors here: "When we decided to make available a lively, modern magazine for our language's worldwide community, the objective which was laid down was to have a positive, lightning effect on the world around us - to provide an entertaining service which would inspire our readers and confirm that the Irish language is alive and lively in the 21st century."

Also, don't be surprised if you see an article from our member Séamas Ó Neachtain in this issue of Nós.

Well done, a chairde.  Congratulations!

Announcements for AN GAEL-EXTRA!

If you want to send us announcements about your Irish language events for publication in AN GAEL-BREISE!, please join our on-line community HERE and tell us about hem.  As you can see, there's already too much to translate for our little team.  Therefore, please do write to us in Irish with English translation if you're able.  If not, give us your Irish
language news anyway!

Tréidhe
Gan Ghaeilge, gan Ghaelach.
Gan Ghaelach, Gan Éireannach.
Gan Éireannach, gan Éire.

Triad
Without the Irish language, nothing Gaelic.
Without anything Gaelic, nothing Irish.
Without anything Irish, no Ireland.
