    How about a word game?

    I got this idea from another site. Everyone can play.

    A person adds a word as Gaeilge include a definition in english.

    If you have enough Irish use your word in a sentence. Anyway

    the next person uses the last letter of the previous persons word

    to start their word, so if my word is

    Foghlaim

    (learn; learning)

    the next word starts with an M, something like

    Madra

    (dog)

    Cros ar mhadraí.

    No dogs. (I hope that's right).

    Next word starts with an A.

    Slán go fóill Níl mé ach ag tosú ar an teanga a fhoghlaim.

    From the poem "Oíche Nollaig na mBan"l e Seán Ó Ríordáin (unfortunatley I had to learn that for an exam)

    So next letter "e"
