Tús maith, leath na hoibre

Bhí mé ag comhrá i lár na hoíche bliain nó dó ó shin le cairde dár gcuid ag deireadh seachtaine na Gaeilge–an ceann suite i mBloomington, Indiana, b’fhéidir, nó i Maidson, Wisconsin nó Winona, Minnesota–agus rith sé liom go mbeadh teideal maith é “Cainteoir Doofus”.  Tá sé oiriúnach mar ainm bhlag toisc gur bhfeileann sé ardán bhladaire mar seo, agus mé ach i mo fhoghlaimeoir. An dteastaionn aon eolas uait seachas “Doofus” sa teideal?

Tá seanfhocal ann: “tús maith, leath na hoibre”. Seo an tús. Céard é sin an leath eile? Sin an obair, nach ea?

In late-night conversation with friends at an Irish language immersion weekend a year or two ago–Bloomington, Indiana or Madison, Wisconsin or Winona, Minnesota–it occurred to me that “Cainteoir Doofus” would be a fitting title for the blog of a learner like me. How much more do you need to know about this-here platform than “Doofus” in the title?

The old saying goes “a good start is half the work”. Here’s the start. The other half? Well, that’s the work, isn’t it?
