The Full Scéal An Scéal Iomlán
My name is Rachel Daly and I am from Co. Carlow.
I live with my family in Germany.
Learning a new language as you all know is a challenge,
all of that grammar and vocabulary that comes with it.
I was slowly learning German and during this time my daughter asked
me what the word for milk was in Irish.
Bainne I told her.
Then we progressed on to apple, shop and hair.
It didn't take long for my 2 year to also pick up these words.
The words bainne, úll, siopa and gruaig were brought, by my daughter into the Kindergarten.
The teachers and children were all fascinated with Gaeilge.
The more my daughters asked me, the more I started to remember.
Songs, verbs, tenses. It was astonishing how this language was brought to life.
What a shame we don't use it I thought, but what a gift that we have it.
We continued to put a little effort into learning a few words and with the help of Auntie Ro slipping them
into our everyday lives.
Things such as "I am off to my leaba". "I need to wash the aul gruaig."
"Will you get some bainne at the siopa" started to come naturally.
This really changed our home, it added a new dimension, a treasure that was buried there by our great great grandparents.
The next month we started working on MEMORISE.
MEMORISE is designed to teach a cúpla focal but also to refresh the cúpla focal we already have.
It is not just a memory game. You can get creative and play it in many different ways with various difficulty levels.
We have an online platform jam packed full of activities, an additional 40 new words, grammar exercises, printable resources and lots lots more! Click here to have a look

Rachel ní Dhalaigh is ainm dom agus is as Co. Cheatharlach mé. Tá mé i mo chónaí le mo theaghlach sa Ghearmáin. Is dúshlán é teanga nua a fhoghlaim mar is eol daoibh go léir, an ghramadach agus an foclóir sin ar fad a thagann leis. Bhí mé ag foghlaim Gearmáinise go mall agus le linn an ama seo d'iarr mo iníon dom cad é an focal le haghaidh bainne i nGaeilge. Bainne a dúirt mé léi. Ansin chuaigh muid ar aghaidh chuig úll, siopa agus gruaig. Níor thóg sé i bhfad ar mo 2 bhliain na focail seo a phiocadh suas freisin. Thug m'iníon na focail bainne, úll, siopa agus gruaig isteach sa Kindergarten. Bhí na múinteoirí agus na páistí ar fad ar bís leis an nGaeilge. Dá mhéad a d'iarr mo iníonacha orm, is mó a thosaigh mé ag cuimhneamh. Amhráin, briathra, aimsirí. Ba ábhar iontais é mar a tugadh an teanga seo ar an saol. Ba mhór an náire nach n-úsáideann muid é, shíl mé, ach cén bronntanas atá againn. Leanamar orainn ag déanamh iarracht beag cúpla focal a fhoghlaim agus le cabhair ó Auntie Ro ag sleamhnú leo isteach inár saol laethúil. Rudaí ar nós "I am off to my leaba". "Ní mór dom an gruaig a ní." Thosaigh “An gheobhaidh tú bainne ag an siopa” ag teacht go nádúrtha. D’athraigh sé seo ár dteach go mór, chuir sé toise nua leis, taisce a cuireadh ann ag ár sin-seantuismitheoirí. An mhí seo chugainn thosaíomar ag obair ar MEMORISE. Tá MEMORIZE deartha chun cúpla focal a mhúineadh ach freisin chun an cúpla focal atá againn cheana féin a athnuachan. Ní hamháin gur cluiche cuimhne é. Is féidir leat a bheith cruthaitheach agus é a imirt ar go leor bealaí éagsúla le leibhéil deacrachta éagsúla. Tá ardán ar líne againn atá lán de ghníomhaíochtaí, 40 focal nua breise, cleachtaí gramadaí, acmhainní inphriontáilte agus go leor eile! Cliceáil anseo le breathnú
