And let me tell ya', it's not easy!! :boggle:
I'm really starting to feel my signature line!

As for the second sentence... No su' oraiste for you! ...Because I can't pronounce it yet.

This is where I am in the learning process: "An bhfuil an Ghaeilge deacair?" "Is ea!!!" (I wanted to end that with "Damn straight!" but I have no idea how to say that.) *wonders if it's in Chapter Three*

After all of this, you're going to charge me for lessons, aren't you?
Haha, not at all. I'm only on maybe the equivalent of chapter 4 or 5 or so...I'm just glad to have someone to talk to "as Gaeilge". We can take it to email if you're getting nasty looks from the penguins.

("Sea" is a slurred version of "Is ea", means the same thing.)

("sú oraiste" = SOO or-ESS-tyeh)

Sorry to have to say it, but there are actually tropical penguins. The Galapagos Islands have lots of them, only 6 degrees south of the equator.

Everyone look out! Random trivia run amok!!

Just so you know...

There's a quiet little session happening at Carol's Oasis. Anyone can come--anyone whose whistles have thumb holes, that is.
