Intermediate Irish # 5 - Part 2 of 10 (Ag Filleadh Abhaile)

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.

it's not wrong! and to suggest that it is, is utter garbage. gaelic football is not the only type of football in ireland, nach bhfuilimid chrann ag gach Eoraip?

Mícheart..

We've always used peil for football (the only form of football in ireland, gaelic football) and sacar for soccer (english football).

[tyronebanjoplayer]

what a load of rubbish!

sacar= soccer

peil= football

peil gaelach= gaelic football

peileadóir= footballer

ag imirt peile= playing football

ag imirt sacair- playing soccer

get it right !

[SeanOBriain]

peil can be football or gaelic football. some people say peil gaelach for gaelic football. it really depends on what part of ireland you are in.

"Peil" isn't soccer...it's Gaelic football. Sacar is the Irish for soccer...
