Last Time (September 20) (back to top)

Warmup:

Cén scéal?
Cén lá é an lá inniu?
Tabbies of Doom via Quizlet - Your Lucky Classmate chose "PI 21-22 Topic: Past tense of irregular verbs"
Tonight also saw the return of Buntús Cainte! We read through BC 34.

Stuff:

Turns out we may not have finished talking about PI 34, which is a two-page lesson. We reviewed the basics of the lesson, and for next time please find and review your answers for the exercises on the second page (or do them in the first place).

We finished our summer story! As always, I'm not sure how faithful it was to the truth, but I thought it was a fun read and I hope you did too.

I'm looking over the vocab and grammar notes for the next unit in the prefab communicative materials we sometimes use, so keep an eye out in your mailbox and if it shows up, take a gander at what's included.

Obair bhaile:

PI 34, exercises on the second page
Keep an eye out for a PDF with a new set of vocab & grammar

Previous Class (September 13) (back to top)

Warmup:

Cén scéal?
Cén lá é an lá inniu?
Tabbies of Doom via Quizlet -- Your Lucky Classmate chose the set "Bí - present, present hab, past and future tense forms." (I've taken some older sets out of the folder and put some new ones in, so it would be a good idea to stop by and take a look. To be clear, when I say "new sets," they're just new to the folder, but they've existed in my general collection for a while.)

Stuff:

I played a very short clip from the radio for you, partly for a little listening practice, but also to break it to you that real people, out in the Irish speaking world right now, are using the seanchóras for numbers (here, "aon bhliain déag agus ceithre scór" for "ninety one years"). So, I may need to trot out a couple of lessons for you on that.

We went through the worksheet on "de vs do" and discussed a couple of issues.

Then we spent the rest of the evening reviewing the remainder of the vocabulary list for our summer story, so that next time we can see about finishing our reading, or at least making some good progress.

Obair bhaile:

Keep working on the summer story
Take a look at the "Tabbies of Doom" folder on Quizlet and see if there are sets you want to review
Make sure you know where your copy of BC is
