Hi!

I'm just barely starting out learning Gaelic. I doubt as an American that I can ever truly get my accent down correctly. I LOVE Irish accents. And Scottish.
I'm 34, single, and a Mom. Sorta. I miscarried a baby a little over a year ago. And in dealing with this, one of the things I want to do (because my Fiance is actually a 4th Gen Irish-American) is put a t*tt** of a sleeping baby faery and put the date and "My darling baby" in Gaelic under the t*tt**. But I want whoever reads it in Gaelic to know that it is a tribute to my miscarried baby.
For those of you who believe in past lives, I think I was Irish in the past. I have ALWAYS been drawn to Ireland, Her green hills, Her mysticism, Her majesty, Her beauty, Her fertile lands, everything. I want to go live in Ireland, but I think that is just a pipe dream. I will at least visit Her. I am just drawn to her. Can anyone suggest some good (English) books to read on Ireland? I'm particularly interested in Her mythos. I know some words, ban, dearg, bandearg, glas, rua, madrarua. That's all I can remember from my BYKI lessons. For any who may ask, BYKI is short for Before You Know It and is a program that has Gaelic as one of the languages they teach. Anyone who wants to throw words here and there my way with the proper pronunciation (if you can). Might as well toss grammar in there as well because I think it'd help.
Do people really speak Gaelic in Ireland? Is it really a "live" language? Do people speak only Gaelic anymore? Anyway thank you all.
