Foghlaim Dé hAoine

Today's Foghlaim Dé hAoine is factually correct, but there is a high possibility that it will be incorrect in the grammar and/or pronunciation department. I had to cancel my lesson last week because of work and this week because of my second job (Lovely Assistant for Peter Cox Photography). The last time I was actually able to have a lesson, an múinteoir told me that his schedule was probably not going to be able to accommodate my lessons after Christmas.

I'm at the point where I should probably take some group lessons, but with my schedule the way it is, I like the flexibility of private lessons. (Although I'm looking forward to doing a week or maybe two in the Gaeltacht this summer.) So, if you know a decent Irish teacher in Dublin (preferably south-side or South County) who wouldn't mind giving a weekly lesson, please let me know.

Beidh mé i Paris bParás an deireadh seachtaine seo.

Paris would take a b after the i and so be pronounced Barish.

I would always say "An deireadh seachtaine seo chugainn" when taking about the coming weekend, but not sure if it is needed.

Beidh mé i bParás.

You can add chugainn, or "An deireadh seachtaine beag seo".

But what you have is right.

Bain taithneamh as Parás.

I couldn't have said it better myself.

You lucky girl - enjoy!

Oh wait, I just realised that it would've been the weekend just past that you went, so in that case...
did you enjoy?

Hi Fence - for some reason, I was thinking that since Paris is a "foreign" name, that it wouldn't take the....lenition or eclipse or whatever the b-thingy is called.

Aongus - Thanks. :)

Shane - There is a newsgroup on Yahoo where they are working their way through Progress in Irish - I can tell you when they start over again.

"i bPáras"

The síne fada is on the first 'a'

Mea culpa.

Some names have been known to Irish speakers for so long that they have become domesticated, and follow the normal rules.

Londain, Páras, etc.

See focal for more.

I use this for a looser curl and it works well. I like Moroccan Oil products and this is a solid one. It hasn't been life changing and I haven't used it

alone to really see what it does but it works well with the David Babaii Bohemian Beach Spray for nice loose curl.

I

starting using this oil when I colored my hair at the recommendation of my hairdresser because my hair sometimes felt limp and lifeless. I still use it now that I've let my gray grow out. It makes my hair

feel and smell great. I found that I don't have to wash my hair every day; I just spread some Curl Cream on my hands and scrunch it through my hair and it works out the "bedhead" look. I don't have super

curly hair; in fact, when I wash it, it looks straight. My hairdress is the one who showed me, using the Curl Cream, that my hair is actually naturally curly..not just wavy. I love it and use it nearly every

day.
