a) Bróga Nua • New Shoes
Let's start reading our first poem 'Bróga Nua'
Nóta:
The -a at the end of a word is a mix between 'ahhh' and 'uh' sound
Here is a translation of the poem:
Bróga nua New Shoes
Bróga nua New shoes
Bí, bá, bua. (these words don't mean anything*! 🤣)
Fuair Síle bróga nua. Síle got new shoes
Bí, bá, Bí, bá, (these words don't mean anything)
Bí, bá, bua. (these words don't mean anything)
