Testing the waters: Nuair a ràinig mi 'm baile

a verse of a Gaelic song I learned while I was living on the Isle of Skye.

Just trying to figure out how this whole youtube thing works ... if this works OK, maybe I'll post more. Using a proper mic. When my computer's behaving better. And in better lighting. *ahem.*

Tá guth an-dheas agus suaimhneach agat a Mhaghaidh! Níl sé seo scríobhte agam i nGaeilge na hAlbainn, act tá súil agam go bhfuil tú in ann é a thuiscint. Thuig mé beagnach gach rud a dhúirt tú san video :) Maith thú arís!

[magaidhbhan]

Go raibh maith agat as do theachtaireacht! Tá mé ag foghlaim Gaeilge freisin; tá mo bhuachaill ag teagasc Gaeilge ag Harvard - ach tá an Ghaeilge an-chosúil le Gàidhlig, agus tá sé deacair dom an dá theanga a scaradh ó chéile i mo chuimhne.

YAY! Sin thu fhèin a Mhagaidh! Bha an t-òran sin glè mhath! Tha fhios agam air a tha Julie Fowlis ga sheinn ann an consairt! Agus 's urrain dhuit an t-òran a sheinn gu bòidheach!

Mòran taing! :)

/"jOlox/? /"jaunsiç/? Mo chreach-sa thàinig, a ghràidheag, abair Leòdhasach 's a th' annad! Ach tha mi measail ort co-dhiù! ;-)

Air an làimh eile, tha thu a' cùmail do chuid Gàidhlig fada nas fheàrr na tha mise, mar sin is dòcha nach bu chòir dhomh dad a ràdh!

Ò, is òran brèagha (agus guth brèagha!) cuideachd. :-)

Och, nach ist thu! Chan eil mi soundadh mar Leòdhasach ann ... not that I'd mind if I did! Bidh iad ag ràdh sin san eilean sgitheanach cuideachd. Ach ma tha thu measail orm co-dhiu, sin gu leòr dhomhsa :)

A' bruidhinn air a bhith a' cumail do chuid Gàidhlig, am bi thu air Skype uair sam bith? Chan eil mi air d' fhaicinn an siud o chionn ghoirid (chan eil mi fhìn air *uabhasach* tric, ach thèid mi air bho àm gu àm, feuch a bheil duine eile mun cuairt). 'g iarraidh bruidhinn uaireigin?

[nonyanb09]

That was a piece of heaven. :)

[steaphris]

Guth alainn a th' agad ann a-shin. Cum ort.

[magaidhbhan]

Thanks! That's exactly what I'm doing, too -- the bloody thing starts sounding like it's about to lift off every time I try to actually *use* the mic. :)

Yay! You singing=always fabulous. You talking to yourself in Gaelic about, probably, computer settings, judging by the look of utter confusion and disgust on your face=also fabulous.

Looking forward to more... :c)
