If we could just stand here, without the words, would that be enough? ..Look at the sky now. What color is it? Or the way a hawk flies. Or you wake up and your ribs are bruised thinking so hard on somebody. What do you call that?

Go raibh maith agat...for starting this forum

Great Idea and a good source for those of us who have been trying to learn Gaeilge on their own. I've been trying for the last 6 month.
