In this lecture, we will look at how to build on what we learned in lecture 1. The focus here is to extend on basic initial interaction ie telling people more about yourself, why you are doing abc etc
We also look forward to lecture 3.
In this lecture we are focusing on:
Questions in Irish- how to initiate conversation, or how to answer questions posed to you by someone else.
Key vocabulary- words which are going to be fundamental to your ability to communicate or learn to a higher level of Irish going forward
Some key things to focus on between this lecture and the next section
In this video, the focus will be on:
Emotions- how to communicate to people how you feel, or if you need something.
How to ask for something in Irish.
There will also be some key vocabulary included to build a word bank.
In the final lecture of this course, the focus will be on:
Revisiting some important points
How to ask for items or places 'as Gaeilge'.
Useful conversation tools that will help when in a conversation.
Final thoughts and thanks to everybody.
During this course, I take students slowly through what I feel are the basics of the Irish language.
Note: the emphasis during this course is on the oral element (speaking). Any written work should be done as a reinforcement of what is being spoken.
I begin by going through basics or fundamental phrases or vocabulary which I feel are needed to hold a conversation. The objective at the end of the course is that students will be enabled to describe a short piece about themselves in Irish. Also, they will be equipped with some useful conversation techniques which will really help when a conversation begins.
