'S ann dà-chananach a tha a h-uile càil le Garrett MacGilleAnndrais agus chìthear pìosan air leth inntinneach mu dheidhinn a bheatha mar oileanach agus Comunn Ceiltis Indianna. Leugh mi artaigil a thog m' uidh gu mòr: Ag ionnsachadh ''Ceiltis'' thar a' chuain - Learning ''Celtic'' across the ocean. Tha teachdaireachd aig Garrett dhuinn:
"Ach ag innse na fìrinn, tha mi a' smaoineachadh gum feum Alba, Èire, agus Eilean Mhaninn obair ri chèile mòran. Chan eil e gu math a' bhith feuchainn na cànanan aca fhèin thàrmachadh nan aonar. Agus mar a thuirt mi ann am blog o chion ghoirid. Feumaidh na dùthchannan seo sealltainn air "A Talamh Nua" airson taice cuideachd. A bheil am facal sin ceart gu poileataigeach, "An Talamh Nua"? LOL!"
'S e oileanach a th'ann an Erin cuideachd ach tha ise faighinn foghlam aig an taigh agus tha Gàidhlig na phàirt dheth. Bidh Erin a' feuchainn ri pìosan Gàidhlig a chur a-steach do na postaichean aice mar a rinn i le "Mòd Nàiseanta Ameireaga 2010".
'S e Mìcheal MacAoidh coir a tha ga teagaisg agus chuir Erin dàn aige an airde air a blog, seo pìos dheth:
"Air oidhche shàmhach gheamhraidh fhuar
‘S a’ Ghealach shoilleir chiùin
A’ coimhead air an talamh foip’
‘S na reultan os a cionn
An saoghal umam cho neo-thorach
‘S mo smuaintean air an àm
Tha romham ‘measg mo chàirdean
Is mo charaidean caomh blàth"
Tuilleadh air a' bhlog aig Erin. A chàirdean ma tha greiseag agaibh carson nach tèid sibh a-null thairis gus beagan brosnachadh a thoirt dhaibh?
I came across two interesting blogs last night The untold stories of a Gaelic learner in America. agus Mo Bhlog Beag
Garrett Anderson has a bi-lingual blog and he writes about his life as a student and the Indiana Celtic Society. I was very intersted in "Learning ''Celtic'' across the ocean."
Garrett has a message for us:
"But, to tell the truth, I think that Scotland, Ireland, and the Isle of Man need to work together more. It’s not good to try and develop their languages on their own. And as I said in a previous blog. These countries need to look to the New World for support too. Emm… Is that word politically correct, The New World? LOL!
Erin is a student too but she is being educated in the home and Gaelic is part of her studies
She is attempting to put pieces of Gaelic in her posts as in her article about "Mòd Nàiseanta Ameireaga 2010". Micheal MacKay is her teacher and she has posted one of his poems on her blog too.If you have a few moments why not pop over to give them some encouragement?"
