Fáilte!

Dia dhaoibh a chairde Gael, agus fáilte romhaibh uilig chuig an blag beag seo! Cheap mé go mhíneoinn an fáth gur chruthaigh mé an blag seo sa chéad phóstail seo. Is mac léinn mé atá i mbun staidéir ar an nGaeilge ag an tríú leibhéal. Le linn na tréimhse atá caite agam san ollscoil go dtí seo, tháinig sé chun solais dom go bhfuil cuid mhór achmhainní ar fáil le haghaidh foghlaimeoirí Gaeilge. Chun an fhírinne a rá bíonn sé deacair ar mhic léinn eolas a fháil maidir leis na hachmhainní seo. Bíonn taithí acu ar chuid acu, ach ní dóigh liom go bhfuil áit áirithe gur féidir le mic léinn eolas cuimsitheach a fháil fúthú go léir le chéile in aon áit amháin (má tá, is féidir libh mé féin a cheartú). Ní haon saineolaí mé, ach tá taithí phraiticiúil agam ar fhoghlaim na Gaeilge. Is mian liom comhairle mhaith a thabhairt do dhaoine atá ag déanamh staidéir ar an nGaeilge, ionas go mbeidh sé níos éasca dóibh é sin a dhéanamh, agus ionas gur féidir leo na hachmhainní seo a úsáid chomh maith agus is féidir leo.

I'd like to welcome all fellow Gaeilgeoirí to this little blog! I thought that I would explain the reason I have created this blog in this first post. I am a third level student studying Irish at third level. During my first few months spent in university it has come to light that there are many different resources available to learners of the Irish language. Truthfully, it can be difficult for students to find comprehensive information about these resources in once place. They might have experience dealing with a few of them, but haven't been able to come across a definitive list of all of them. I'm unaware if such a list/website exists, but if I'm wrong feel free to correct me! I am definitely no expert on the language itself, but what I do have is practical experience of learning the language and using these different resources. My goal is to use this blog in order to give learners of the Irish language useful information about these resources in order to make the best use of them.

Tá súil agam go mbeidh an t-eolas a chuirfidh mé ar fáil úsáideach agus go raibh maith agat as ucht an bhlag seo a léamh!

I hope that people find the information I intend to post about useful and helpful and thank you very much for reading this post!

Tar ar ais go luath le haghaidh an chéad phóstáil eile!
