I missed classed last week, and Wes missed class this week.
Knowing that Wes was planning to work on prepositions I did a little reading on my own, and came up with some notes on them and the mutations they induce.
I also found some specifics about the changes between the old and modern (Caighdeán) spelling. With my historical interests I expect I will be reading some older documents sooner or later.

We started with another listening exercise, similar to that of two weeks ago. I did not do well
at this.

We started with a listening exercise, similar to that of two weeks ago. Again I did not do well
at this, though perhaps not as badly as then.

Listening exercise. I did very poorly at this, but the discussion
afterwards was informative.

Our new instructor is Wes Koster.
Predictably, we started with:
Céard a rinne sibh ar feadh an tsamhraidh?
What did you do during the summer?
Céard a rinne sibh na laethanta saoire?
What did you do in the free days
When my turn came, I answered the second question, only exaggerating slightly:
Ní raibh laethanta saoire agam. Bhí mé an gnotach san oifig.
I did not have
free days. I was very busy in the office.
