These phrases would be used as very simple responses by a person who had little Irish, therefore, they would not generally use full sentences. To make amends we will leave them here no matter what the latest offering may be. How we came to forget them, we can't say. You studied well but you don't know many who speak Irish and you are now talking to the only non-English speaking Irishman for twenty miles. Whatever you heard was in gaeilge and now he is asking you if you need help (but you don't know that's what he said). You look in the boot and there is no spare.

We have put her comments and pronunciations in green. She has generously agreed to help us with our lessons. One of our subscribers, Aideen, grew up speaking Irish at her mother's knee.
