    I put a link to it on my blog http://ancroiait.wordpress.com/
    If that’s not OK let me know and I’ll take it down.
    Love what you’ve done!
    Yes, it’s a great resource for learning Irish 🙂

    Maith sibh!
    Táim ag léamh Scéalta Chois Cladaigh faoi láthair is tá an frása ‘ar cloich an bhaic’ ann.
    B’shin an rud a thosaigh an cuardach seo.

    I’ll go with the typical answer a question with a question.
    How do you pronounce ‘chowder’ in American English? Would it be the same in Boston as in Los Angeles? The same applies in Ireland.
    I would argue that English is muddier but I might be wrong:
    ough? bough / cough / dough / thorough / tough / through
    ea? meat / great / threat / dear / fear /bear / pear / heard / beard
    o…e? dose / rose / lose
    or? cork / work /word / sword
    Why does answer have a w?
    For what it’s worth I pronounce crainn as kreen, ball as bol and baill as bweel.
    Ye could drive yerself mad with this and I’d love a phonetic language (truly).
    But until that happens tuning into RnaG and TG4 and listening to podcasts is the the closest many will get to immersion.
    God bless technology.

    A TjOC,
    Fáilte romhat anseo.
    Thug mé seanfhocail duit.
    I threw in a couple of wise old sayings that suggest a similar idea but are not direct translations from English in case they might suit your purpose:
    An té nach gcuireann san Earrach, ní bhainfidh sé san Fhómhair. He who does not sow in Spring will not reap in the Fall.
    and
    Cuir gach rud ar an méar fhada is beidh an mhéar fhada róghearr ar ball. Put everything on the long finger (postpone it) and eventually that finger will be too short (you’ll miss out on the chance).

    Not just ‘fled’, a chara, ach ‘slip away’ agus frásaí eile.

    Recommend? Maybe not getting one as you may regret it later? How about writing a poem and publishing it instead?
    Go for the ‘family, love, forever…or something along those lines’ theme and decide exactly what you want to say first.
