How do I learn Gaelg? I learn it very slowly. lolololol. But I read books. And I listen (?) to SSi and podcasts. I drive to my job everyday. I have a lot of time. I donât think there is anyone who speaks Gaelg in SF. But I am still searching! And you, how do you learn Gaelg. Do you practice it often?
My-e-chione âCloie ny Troynynâ --foddeeâ? Ren mee shirrey enmyn ny Troynyn ayns Gaelg. Ayns yn fockleyr --tlReader-- liorish Phil Kelly. Cloie beggan quaagh er lhiam, agh cliaghtey mie.

Regarding âGame of Thronesâ I searched ânames of Thronesâ in Manx Gaelic in the tlReader by Phil Kelly. A pastime that is a little odd I suppose, but good practice.
What do you think?:

I can say only 1 sentence of the first lesson so sorry, not writing in Manx, but in the context of quote above ⌠@aran why not open Slack WSP for practicing other languages too, if not them all then at least for Celtic languages? This idea ripes in me for a while already and I just grabbed the opportunity to mention it here just right now. What do you think?
On the topic! I like these practice topics and it could be of other languages also. For now Iâm not too skilled in any of them to participate but Iâd love to in the future.
I donât speak Manx, but I wanted to ask if youâd mind, @Watles84, if I stole this idea for a Cornish version of this thread?
@tatjana That is such a good idea! Please, @aran, can we have a Celtic Languages practice Slack so we can all practice some Manx and Cornish and so on?
Iâve actually got the idea that weâd use the same Slack network just having Celtic own channel or maybe each language could have its own channel but WSP would be renamed to just SP (Speaking practice) or maybe SPC (Speaking Practice Community). Well, this is also one of ideas too.
I strongly believe this could be borrowed for having some practice in whatever language one learns. The more SSiLanguages comes out the more Speaking practice topics or even deviding âOther languagesâ to the General/Questions and Speaking Practice which wouldnât be restricted to any language but maybe the topics should be limited to only one for each desired language. One of such topics could be opened in Spanish part of the forum also.
I think thatâs a terrific idea - we probably want to get to more of a tipping point with our Welsh Speaking Practice one first (if itâs too quiet at first, people often lose heart, so weâd want to be ready to do quite a lot to promote it) - but I think weâll definitely get there in the not-too-distant futureâŚ
Might I suggest that us Manx learners all join Amikumu and talk to each other on that? I donât believe the app existed when yaâll were having this conversation, but it does now and the last I checked I am the only person on the planet using that app for Manx. Please join me! itâs lonely with no one else! ^/^
