Learning Irish Gaelic?

You're a good resource for me

Slainte int:

Glad to help (I hope)

I did check out the Seattle Irish Heritage group website, just to see if they had any links to Colorado. Nothing... but they did have the following links that may, or maynot, be of assistance:

If I ever get over to Colorado Springs to visit my sister & nephew we'll have to get together for a pint (or two)
Slàinte!

Although a word of warning: Most bar staff these days aren't from Ireland, so if ordering a pint it would be as good to know Lithuanian as Irish!

tis' true!

Will definately be up for a pint or three :beer: You get out here often?

I just wasn't cut out for the "political indoctrination" BS that seems to accompany the teaching of Irish-- I was there to learn the language, not to be persuaded to vote Sinn Fein.

Nothin' wrong with voting Sinn Fein mate......

Transparent Languages has a program called BYKI (Before You Know It) that seems to be great for vocabulary drill. I picked up the "lite" version for free. The website is BYKI.com. I haven't got into serious study yet, but I have looked at it. There are audio files and a flash card type format, so it should be a good learning tool.

No, not in a long time, however I'm hoping to later in the year to visit family.

You live in a nice area. Would prefer that to here. Too much of a cowboy area here....

Ha!ha! Well, both my sis' & nephew work for the PRCA head office
but I understand... yeah, I like here. Use to say I was going to move to California where it's warmer, but in truth I'd miss it. I live right near the water, with Mount Baker to the east, and each morning when I take my daughter to school I get to see the islands in the north sound.
The one pain is we have been labeled a desirable place to live/retire, and because of the water to the west & the mountains basically encircling my area there is no room for growth. So housing prices are amongst the highest in the nation
I fear we'll have another "boom" here after the 2010 winter olympcs across the border, just like after expo back in '85. I just don't know where we'll put them all!
