Hallo agus bliadhna mhath ùr!

[Wilsons-of-Oxford]

Hallo! Ciamar a tha sibh? Is mise Jason Wilson, tha mi fiureach an Norfolk, Virginia. Tha mi toilichte bi eòlach air sibh.

Hello! How are you all? I am Jason Wilson, I live in Norfolk, Virginia. I am pleased to know you (I hope is what I said).

I started learning Gàidhlig last year with Slige nan Gaidheal in Seattle. I wasn't able to do much and now I've moved from the area. I'm hoping to make 2012 the year my wife and I learn and that we can teach our children ( aged 4 and 1) as well.

I've started going through TAIC and I hope to be able to improve through 'conversation' here. That said, please let me know when I've butchered the language as I'm sure I have above.

Tapadh leibh!

Hallo a charaid, tha mi gu math, ciamar a tha sibh fhein?

[Wilsons-of-Oxford]

Tha mi glè gioragach, tapadh leat. Tha mi ready to get learning.

[Fear na coille]

Gioragach? Na bi dragh oirbh. Bithibh treun! A bheil sibh nur seoladair?

[Wilsons-of-Oxford]

Ha ha, Chan e! I was hoping gioragach meant excited, I see it can mean skittish too.

'S e, tha mi seoladair. At least I was. I just finished a ship based assignment, now they've given me command of a desk for a few years.

[Wilsons-of-Oxford]

Dè an obair a th’ agad, a Fhear?

What work do you do, Fear?

[Fear na coille]

Tha mi nam fear-reic/ salesman, durable goods. Well automobiles anyway;)

Bathair buan. Uill Ca\raidhean co-dhiu;)

[Wilsons-of-Oxford]

Thinking I was supposed to have said " 'S e seoladair a th' annam" rather than "tha mi seoladair" back there.

Well pleased to meet you, hope to be able to speak more Gaelic with you soon.

[Fear na coille]
