A JOURNEY INTO THE WISDOM AND WIT OF AN GHAEILGE
How do you feel about embracing our native tongue? A bit awkward? At odds after a tricky relationship at school? Maybe you've given up, or don't know where to start?
Well, is fada an bothar nach mbionn casadh ann - long is the road that has no turn and, in this book, the road is about to turn.
Through seanfhocail agus scealta - proverbs and stories - Molly Nic Ceile, creator of the social media sensation for Irish-language learners and lovers Gaeilge i Mo Chroi, invites us to connect with Irish in our hearts, as we turn naire into gaire - embarrassment into laughter - on a journey of renewed pride in our national tongue.
With plenty of craic along the way - including the hilarious 'if Irish were English' approach to better understanding sentence structure - the book offers guidance on bringing Irish into our everyday lives, supported by useful word and phrase glossaries throughout. Connect with an Ghaeilge you didn't know you knew, embrace na botuin - the mistakes - and discover the richness our beautiful language - ar teanga alainn - can offer.
