Inter. Irish - Lesson # 7 - Part 1 of 10 (Cén dath atá air?)

LESSON SHEETS: http://www.hofshi.net/Ceachtanna_MeanRang/

This has been termed an "intermediate" Irish class, but it's for all levels, beginners included. We have included study sheets that go with each lesson and can be printed out from the website above:

When you go to the website, you see, in PDF format, all the lessons listed by number which correspond to each 10 to 12 part video lesson. Be sure to find and print-out the "Irish Prepositional Pronouns" sheet located just above the lessons. We recommend you print these lesson sheets out, you will need them to accompany and get full benefit the video.

These classes were filmed at the House of Ireland which is located in Balboa Park in San Diego. There are three Irish language classes taught each week - beginner, intermediate, and advanced, with a different teacher for each level. The teacher you see here is Shanti Hofshi, who has been seriously studying Irish for almost ten years. Currently I'm only filming the intermediate due to time constraints and I picked the intermediate also because it focuses on a broader spectrum of the language. And Shanti's teaching method relates well through video.

Is Gaeilge mo ghrá...

Well no, he's quite right in pronouncing it "rev", as it is in Munster.

Pronouncing "raibh" as "rev" is preferable for learners since the pronunciation "row" would suggest the spelling "rabha".

Is iontach feiscint go bhfuil suim ag daoine thar lear i nGaelainn, agus go bhfuil múinteoir ar an gcaighdeán ard so acu!

It's great to see that people abroad have an interest in Irish, and that they have a teacher of such a high standard!

"raibh"

in the past tense should be pronounced "row"

but great work on your past tense irregular verbs :D

Beir Bua Le Bhur Léann!
