I have only just discovered Modern Gaulish and am very excited! The song is funny (and somehow, it doesn't really seem to end...). Hopefully, as I progress in Memrise, I will recognize more words. Greetings from just a stonethrow away from the very edge of Gaul at the old Rhine river.

[@GwirCeth]

Hey Judith, how are you! We're very happy you like it. And you're right, it doesn't really end ... If you look at the words on the screen, and maybe pause it, you'll be able to see how the words in the two languages correspond, more or less. Good on you for using Memrise, that's really good to hear.

[@KittyGooris]

He does that sometimes... glad you’re there!

[yawns and scratches arse] ... well, I was dreaming I was swimming in a barrel of beer, and the only way to get out of it was by drinking the whole lot. It was great.

[@celticman5128]

Very relaxing, peaceful, and beautiful. Thank you :D

[@GwirCeth]

It's my pleasure. I'm happy you like it.

[@isaweesaw]
