Hi Cearbhall. Basically, I'm learning Irish. I'm following the TEG a2 sylabus at the moment. I Have a teacher who comes to my house once a week. If you visit www.teg.ie you'll notice that apart from an english translation of the sylabus and some other general information, there is nno english translations of the actual lessons. I'm therefore having to create my own notes e.g. grammar and my own dictionary. It's my intention to take the a2 exam next may and then move up to the next level. Whilst I understand the "total emersion" principle, It doesn't work for me personally. I have to understand what I'm saying and why I'm constructing sentenses in a particular way and to do that, I need the english translation of what I'm working with. I hope this clarifies things. All the best Damien. -----Original Message----- From: vicsireland-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:vicsireland-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Cearbhall O'Meadhra Sent: 03 August 2012 15:46 To: vicsireland@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [vicsireland] Re: dictionaries. Damien, I would like to understand exactly what you doing. Would you like to explain in more details? If you created your own custom dictionary in MS Word would that solve the problem?
