Do I really want to put anything of substance here?

@jeff @postfilm I worry that it's a fossil. I had High hopes when I joined, and it certainly has less frustration than Twitter. But not nearly enough to hold my interest. I come here once every few months.

@paradisecreated I rith an gheimhridh, ba mhaith liom níos mó Gaeilge a fhoghlaim. Ba mhaith liom breathnú ar an bhféilire seo gach lá. Má fhéachaim ar an bhféilire seo gach lá, foghlaimeoidh mé níos mó focail Ghaeilge.

@paradisecreated Ba mhaith liom féilire. Teastaíonn féilire uaim. Cén cineál féilire a theastaíonn uaim? Tá féilire Gaeilge de dhíth orm. Cén fáth a bhfuil an féilire seo de dhíth orm? Ba mhaith liom Gaeilge a fhoghlaim. Ba mhaith liom an teanga seo a fhoghlaim. Ba mhaith liom focail Ghaeilge a fheiceáil. Ba mhaith liom na focail seo a fheiceáil gach lá. Cuirfidh mé seo i mo theach.

Anois tá sé mí na Nollag. Anois tá sé an gheimhridh.

@paradisecreated I want a calendar. I need a calendar. What kind of calendar do I need? I need a Gaeilge calender. Why do I need this calendar? I want to learn Gaeilge. I want to learn this language. I want to see Gaeilge words. I want to see these words every day. I will put this in my house.

Now it is December. Now it is winter. During the winter, I want to learn more Gaeilge. I want to look at this calendar every day. If I look at this calendar every day, I will learn more Gaeilge words.

@paradisecreated Something like this?

calendar / calendars = féilire / féilirí
face / my face / your face = aghaidh / mo aghaidh / do aghaidh
word / words = focal/focail
every day = gach lá
language / languages = teanga / teangacha
December / month / this month = Nollaig / mí / an mhí seo
winter / during the winter / cold winter = geimhreadh / i rith an gheimhridh / geimhreadh fuar
Christmas = Nollag

@paradisecreated This isn't exactly what you asked for, but you could use a dictionary (https://www.teanglann.ie/en/eid/) or even Google Translate to translate a certain (small) number of words into Gaeilge. This can be a good, simple way to keep the language in front of your face. If you copy and paste these to a document, you can then review words from that day and previous days.

@Ink_Soul Bíonn sé deacair ag daoine scéalta a scríobh ar leibhéal íseal. Níl sé deacair abairtí a scríobh ag leibhéal A1 nó A2, ach is deacair scéalta a scríobh ag na leibhéil ísle seo. Tá sé seo ar eolas agam mar is múinteoir Béarla mé, agus níl sé éasca dom scéalta a scríobh d’fhoghlaimeoirí ag an túsleibhéal.

@Ink_Soul Tá sé sin suimiúil. Cad iad na hainmneacha atá ar chuid de na leabhair éasca agus na scéalta éasca atá á léamh agat? Tá a fhios agam go bhfuil leabhar scríofa ag Olly Richards (ceann de shraith i go leor teangacha éagsúla) ach tá sé den chuid is mó B1 nó fiú B2. Ró-deacair dom!
