AS GAEILGE AMHÁIN!		IN IRISH ONLY!
Nollaig Ó Gadhra Tá an-bhrón orainn a thuairisciú gur chailleamar Nollaig Ó Gadhra i Mí Lúnasa. Ba iar-Chathaoirleach Chonradh na Gaeilge é, flaithiúil, gníomhach, neamheaglach, scríbhneoir torthúil, trodaí, agus fíor-chara na teanga. Bhí sé ansin i n-éineacht lenár gcara Barra Ó Donnabháin dár spreagadh chun Cumann Carad na Gaeilge a athshuíomh i 1993. Bhí sé ansin freisin i 2004-2005 ag tairiscint tacaíochta dúinn agus sinne ag aththiomnú ár gcumainn ar Ghaeilge amháin agus bhun-chuspóirí Mhícheáil Uí Lócháin. Mothfaimid uainn é. Ach trína obair, beidh ár léithéidí arís ann, in Éirinn agus timpeall an domhain. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.

An bhfaca tú é seo?		Did you see this?

'Éire' ar gheansaithe sacair na hÉireann D'inis ár mball Gearóid Ó hAnnaidh dúinn faoi seo ar dtús. D'fhógair Cumann Peile na hÉireann (CPÉ) go mbeidh 'Éire' scríofa ar gheansaithe sacair na hÉireann nuair a thosóidh babhtaí cáilithe Chorn an Domhain an mhí seo. Dhiúltaigh an CPÉ an moladh seo céanna i 2006. Ach tá athrú tagtha ar an saol. Chun breis a fháil ar an scéal seo, téigh go dtí Peile.		'Éire' on Ireland's soccer jerseys Our member Gearóid Ó hAnnaidh told us about this first. The Football Association of Ireland (FAI) has announced that 'Éire' will be written on Ireland's soccer jerseys when the qualifying bouts of the World Cup begin this month. The FAI refused this same suggestion in 2006. But the world has changed. To find more on this story, go to Soccer.

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 .

"Only 2% of the young people surveyed as part of Conradh na Gaeilge’s educational workshops a fortnight ago believe public bodies and departments advertise the services they provide in Irish enough. 81% also said that after participating in the Conradh’s workshops, they would sometimes, often, very often or always request services through Irish in future. Conradh na Gaeilge is advising people to assume that every service is available through Irish and to illustrate the demand for services in Irish. If you have any problem getting services through Irish, you can inform the Conradh by sending an email to glacleis@cnag.ie or by calling the head office on 01 4757401 and staff will do all they can to resolve the situation."

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.

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!

Géarghá le Beartas Oideachais Nua, arsa Conradh na Gaeilge Tháinig sé seo istigh ónár gcairde i gConradh na Gaeilge: "Tá Conradh na Gaeilge ag lorg cruinniú leis an Aire Batt O’Keeffe chun moltaí an Chonartha i dtaca le múineadh na Gaeilge sa chóras oideachas a phlé sna sála ar thuairisc de chuid chigirí na Ranna Oideachais agus Eolaíochta féin a foilsíodh inné, 15 Iúil 2008, a thug le fios go raibh beagnach 25% de mhúinteoirí bunscoile na tíre seo gan cumas sásúil Gaeilge acu agus nach múintear a dhóthain Gaeilge do dhá thrian de mhic léinn ag déanamh an Teastais Shóisearaigh sa mheánscoil."

Urgent Need for a New Education Policy, says Conradh na Gaeilge This came in from our friends at Conradh na Gaeilge: "Conradh na Gaeilge is seeking a meeting with Minister Batt O’Keeffe to discuss (its) recommendations ...regarding the teaching of Irish in the education system on the heels of a report from some of the Education and Science Department's own inspectors which was published ... 15 July 2008, which admitted that almost 25% of primary school teachers in this country are without satisfactory ability in Irish and that enough Irish is not taught to two thirds of students who are doing the Junior Certificate in middle school."

Focal ó An Gael Tábhacht na Gaeilge ag Boston College Is deacair Léann Rúiseach ag ollscoil a shamhlú gan Rúisis, nó Léann Síneach gan Sínis, nó Léann Spáinneach gan Spáinnis, cé go bhfuil teangacha eile á labhairt sna tíortha sin. Is léir go mbíonn Gaeilge á labhairt in Éirinn breis agus 2500 bliana, á scríobh breis agus 1500 bliana, agus go bhfuil Gaeilge ag teacht ar ais i saol laethúil na hÉireann gan aon stad riamh ar litríocht bhríomhar chorraitheach as Gaeilge. Chaithfinn tuairim nach bhfuil aon amhras ar bith go bhfuil níos mó litríochta scríofa againn as Gaeilge ná as Sacsbhéarla in Éirinn thar na 1500 bliana seo. Mar sin, is deacair tuiscint conas is féidir le daoine fíor-shaineolas i litríocht agus gcultúr na hÉireann a mhaíomh gan Ghaeilge a bheith ar a dtoil acu. Bhuel, faoi dheireadh, tá áthas orainn a thuairisciú go bhfuil méadú suntasach i líon na n-ollscoileanna i Meiriceá Thuaidh a thuigeann an gaol doscartha idir An Ghaeilge, na Gaeil, agus Tír na nGael (i. Éire). Táimid ag tagairt ollscoileanna mar St. Francis Xavier University, Lehman College (City University of New York), Notre Dame University, Concordia University, New York University, University of Montana, Harvard University, Fordham University agus a thuilleadh. Is ceann díobh seo Boston College. Ag an ollscoil sin, chun M.A. i Litríocht & Cultúr Éireannach a bhaint amach, tá sé riachtanach staidéar a dhéanamh ar an nGaeilge ar feadh bliana ar a laghad. Ina theannta sin, spreagtar scoláirí chun freastal ar ranganna Gaeilge in Éirinn le linn an tsamhraidh, chun cur lena dtaithí ar an teanga. Luíonn sé sin le ciall mhaith, ar ndóigh. Comhghairdeachas leis na hollscoileanna a thuigeann na fíricí seo.

It's apparent that Irish has been spoken in Ireland more than 2500 years, written more than 1500 years, and that Irish is coming back in Ireland's daily life without there ever having been any end to dynamic and exciting literature in Irish. I would guess that there isn't any doubt at all that we've had more literature written in Irish than in English in Ireland over these 1500 years. Therefore, it's difficult to understand how people can boast real expertise in the literature and culture of Ireland without being competent in Irish. Well, finally, we are pleased to report that there is a noticeable increase in the number of universities in North America which understand the indivisible relationship among Gaeilge (the Irish language), the Gaeil (the Irish people) and the Country of the Gaeil (i.e., Ireland). Here we mean universities like St. Francis Xavier University, Lehman College (City University of New York), Notre Dame University, Concordia University, New York University, University of Montana, Harvard University, Fordham University, and more. Boston College is one of these. At that university, a student must finish at least a year of Irish language study in order to claim a M.A. in Irish Literature & Culture. Additionally, students are encouraged to attend summer Irish language schools in Ireland to increase their practice of the language. That makes good sense, of course. Congratulations to the universities which understand these facts. And for more information about the program at BC, go to Master's Degree at BC and Classes at BC. - An Gael
