Leadranach

Is leadran mor orm i noimead, taim ag fanacht le colaiste a tosu aris!! Ollscoil aisteach sa Delaware, thosaigh na laethanta saoire i lar na mi Nollaig ach nior criochnoidh e mar an dara seachtain sa Feabhra!!! ta fhios agam, ba choir dom ni bheinn ag gearan, ach nil aon rud a dheanamh agam...bhi me ag obair isteach sa gym inniu le tri uaireanna!! taim ag dul amach as mo cheann

ar aon nos bhi me ag lorg trid na leathanaigh greasain RTe agus aimsigh me an ceangail le 'An Panel' on tseacthain seo caite...bhi se an-siumiul ar fad

Ar dtus, nil an clair ro-greannmhar gan Dara O Briein, ta se as laithair inniu.
Bhi Colm Meaney an cead aoi sa clair, agus bhi se ag caint faoi Kings le tamall, ach duirt se nach raibh se abalta a thuiscint gach rud a raibh se ag ra i rith an scannan!!
Ba maith liom an scannan a feiceal ach (nil ionadh mor orm faoi seo) nil aon pictiurlann ag taispeant an scannan sa Stait Aonaithe, no i mo reimse ar aon nos.

Tar eis sin, thaining Kevin Myers ar an clair. Anois, nil a lan am agam le Kevin Myers, leamh me cupla altanna a scriobh se roimhe agus nil me sasta leis, go hairithe mar nil se ro-cairdiul le an teanga duchasach, dar liomsa. Ach ta difricocht mor idir an fear a chonaic me ar an teilifis agus an fear i mo samhliocht tar eis a leamh me a haltanna. Fear cliste, beagnach ciuin e, agus nil aon fadbh aige ag admhaigh go rinne se dearmaid anois is aris, anseo is ansiud. Ta beag meas agam ar an fear anois.

Cleachtadh

Bhuel dheinis mo blog cupla miona fado le an rang a bhi me ag muine. Bhi me ag muine faoi Web 2.0, ag teastaigh daoine conas chun blog no wiki a dheanamh. Mar shin, theastaigh an sampla uaim, agus thosaigh an blog seo. Nior aon cuis go maith agam ag scriobh as Gaeilge, ach bhi me ag triall a cuir ina lui ar na cailini Mearcainaigh i mo rang. Sin e bron, ta fhios agam.

Ar aon nos, teastaionn uaim an ait a bhfuil me abalta mo Gaeilge a cleachtadh. Seo e. Taim i mo chonai sa Stait Aonaithe fos, agus nil a lan deiseanna agam an teanga duchasach a labhairt no a eist. Ta me ag triall, gam amhras. Thosaigh me ag muine an rang Gaeilge beag anuraidh le beirt daltai. Ta cupla fadbhanna le an rang afach. Nil ach am amhain a buailimid, agus mar sin ni bhfoghlaimaionn na daltai (cailin amhain agus buachaill amhain) a lan gaeilge.

Chomh maith leis sin, buailfainn le an buachaill eile gach Aoine chun Gaeilge a cleachtadh. Is Meiricainach e, ach ta Gaeilge go an-mhaith aige. Ta fadbh leis freisin afach, mar nil a lan taithi aige ag labhairt as gaeilge agus mar sin bheinn me ag caint agus ag caint agus ni bheadh se ach ag eist. Cleacthadh, gan dabht, ach nil se cleachtadh go maith.

Ta cupla Eireannaigh eile ina gconai sa Newark DE freisin, ach nil aon suim acu ag caint as Gaeilge. Le tamaill, bhi me fein agus Elaine, mo chara agus duine amhain a bhi me i mo chonai le anois, ag usaid Gaeilge gach la, ach stop siad ag caint as Gaeilge anois.

Feachfainn TG4 ar an tIdirlion anois is aris, ach chun an fhirrine a ra, bheadh na daoine ag labhairt ro-thapa agus nil me abalta a thuiscint ach cupla focail. chomh maith leis sin bheinn leisciuil anois is aris, mar bheinn ag leamh na fotheideali as bearla in ait ag eist le na comhra as Gaeilge.

Cheannaigh me cupla leabhair gaeilge freisin. Thosaigh me ag leamh Harry Potter agus an Orchloch sa Deireadh Fomhair agus taim ag leamh fos!! Nior leamh me an leabhar as Bearla roimhe agus mar sin nil fhios agam cad e a tharlu anois is aris!! Ceapaim go bhfuil se beagan deacair le daoine agus an focloir mor aige, go hairithe mar usaideann an udar focail nach bhfuil tu ag usaid gach la, mar shampla 'ulchaban'.

Ach leamh me an leabhair 'Foglaimeori Fasta' i rith an saoire Nollaig. Bhi se nios furasta i gcomparaid le Harry Potter, agus bhi brod mor orm mar chriognaigh me mo chead leabhair as Gaeilge!! Cheannaigh me 'Bean i mBiarritz fresin', agus tosfaidh me ag leamh e nuair (no ma bhfeidir!)a criochnaionn me le Harry!

Mar sin, sin e!! Teastaionn me cleactadh ag scriobh as Gaeilge agus beidh me ag triall cupla focail a scriobh cupla am le seachtain. Ta bron orm le mo grammadach agus mo litriu, nil ach foghlaimeor me agus taim ag triall chun mo dhiceall a dheanamh.

Gaelic

Rugby sevens is sanctioned by the International Rugby Board (IRB), and is played under substantially the same rules and on a field of the same dimensions as the 15-player game. While a normal rugby union match lasts upwards of 80 minutes, a normal rugby sevens match lasts approximately 15 minutes (allowing for the one-minute halftime break, injury time and so forth). Competition finals last somewhat more than 20 minutes; each half in a competition final is ten minutes instead of the normal seven minutes. (In the IRB Sevens World Series, only the Cup final, which determines the overall winner of an event, is played with 10-minute halves; all finals for lower-level trophies are played with normal 7-minute halves.^[1]) This allows rugby tournaments to be completed in a day or a weekend. However, sevens scores are generally comparable to union scores; scoring occurs with much greater regularity in sevens, since the defenders are more spaced out than in rugby union. Scrums still exist within sevens, composed of just three players from each team. Given the speedy nature of the game, players are usually either from the backline or the trio of loose forwards in fifteens rugby.

Rugby sevens was initially conceived by Ned Haig, a butcher from Melrose, Scotland as a fundraising event for his local club in 1883. The first ever sevens match was played at the Greenyards, where it was well received. The largest sevens tournament in the world is the Rosslyn Park Schools tournament, with an attendance of over 3,000 schoolchildren from around the world. Rugby Sevens specialists Wellington College have dominated the rugby sevens festival winning 6 times out of the last 9 years with a five year unbeaten spell between 1998-2003. Results from the tournament can be seen on The Schools' Rugby Website. The first ever officially sanctioned international tournament occurred at Murrayfield as part of the "Scottish Rugby Union's celebration of rugby" centenary celebrations in 1973. Due to the success of the format, the ongoing Hong Kong Sevens was launched three years later. In 1993, the Rugby World Cup Sevens, in which the Melrose Cup is contested, was launched. Two of the best known sevens competitions are the Hong Kong Sevens and Dubai Sevens, which now make up parts of the IRB Sevens World Series.
