Damien,
Do you have anyone - someone who is fluent in irish - to work with, between classes? They then could help you with translation and further notes, dealing with the 'immersion' side of things (which you could pace according to your requirements). Looking at An Teanga beo and other irish-language articles in the irish times, I do have someone locally who can answer my questions!

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.

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?

All the best,


Cearbhall
