(No idea how much sense that makes - I donât know much, sorry! @hewrop, itâs Manx and @Watles84 here was wondering if anyone was interested! 
)
Thanks, @Kinetic 
@Watles84 There has been considerable interest in Manx expressed already _w_hich you should find by using the siteâs search facility.
There is a general forum policy that posts should either be in English or a translation provided. In this case, youâd get a wider response by posting your question to more than existing Manx speakers.
I hope you find some fellow enthusiasts including @aran who, I believe, has broadcast in the Manx language.
Edited now Iâm back home from holiday in the Gaelic speaking Hebrides with access to an actual keyboard ⌠being sober helps, too.

Welcome to the forum, Watles84 - as Huw said, we encourage people to stick to English here so that even âjust about to startâ beginners feel included and welcome - although weâre always happy to see a practice thread for each language when there are enough users to contribute to itâŚ
oh, ok cool. Thought Iâd give it a shot! Iâm very new too (on lesson 10 on the first level). Wanted to see if anyone wanted just a casual cooish (#cc) in gaelg on the messages boards Like âhow are youâ, âI am good and how are youâ , âI am good too. I have a bookâ, etc etc etc, to get the olllllllâ language muscles moving

Good afternoon! How are you? Iâm not in Mannin, Iâm in London at the moment, but I like the Island. (Can I say âsâfeer vie lhiamâ [for âI really likeâ]? Iâm not sure.) Itâs not raining here, but it is a bit cold.

I like London. Itâs a very nice place. I have not been to the V&A, but I would like to go. I have been to the Tate and the Tate Britain. I like Turner and Blake. I like to go to restaurants. I prefer burritos! And you? What kind of food do you like?

China! Thatâs interesting! Where in China did you live? I have not been to China. I would like to go to Xian, or Beijing, maybe Manchuria. Chinese food is pretty tasty. Do you like Tsingtao?

Oh the hurricane in Ireland was very bad but I think it was less bad on the Isle of Man.
Did you watch the tv show âStranger Thingsâ on Netflix? Maybe in Manx itâs âReddyn Ny Smoo Quaaghâ? Itâs quicker and easier to say in English!
Did you have a good Halloween? Did you have a lot of trick-or-treaters at your house? I was in Ireland but I was down the country at my parents house so I had no trick-or-treaters at all. I was disappointed because I made cookies for them!

Yeah! I watch Stranger Things. Its very good. I like the music. I like âReddyn Ny Smoo Quaaghâ. Maybe âWhoâs Hereâ or âThis is the Nightâ
I had a good Halloween. I ate lots of candy. And I watched Stranger Things. I didnât have any tricker or treaters at my house. I live on a big hill and they canât walk here. I live in San Francisco, and there are lots of hills here. How were your cookies? Tasty?

Great question! My family is from the Island. We live in the states now, and I went west to San Francisco. I live here at the moment and learn Manx. I cannot find a manx speaker here! I am still searching! Now, I practice with my dog, but his Manx is not good.
And the weather here is windy. There is a lot of fog. But itâs not so bad. I like the fog. His name is Karl. That makes me laugh.

How interesting - thank you! How old were you when your family moved? Or were you born over there? [Sorry for my lack of Manx - Iâve only had time to do two days so far⌠]
