Sa eagrán seo de Gaeilge Thar Lear, déanann Oisín machnamh ar cheisteanna deacra faoi shaoránacht agus féiniúlacht mar Éireannach a bhfuil ina chónaí sa Ghearmáin. Pléann sé an rogha atá aige saoránacht Ghearmánach a fháil tar éis cúig bliana anseo, ach nach mbraitheann sé mar Ghearmánach ina chroí. Labhraíonn sé faoi na dúshláin a bhaineann le cultúr Éireannach a roinnt lena pháistí a bheidh ina nGearmánaigh, agus ar an gcaoi a mbíonn féiniúlacht níos casta ná pasanna simplí.

Déanann sé machnamh freisin ar an gcaoi a mbíonn daoine ag bogadh timpeall an domhain, go háirithe Éireannaigh, agus ar an tábhacht a bhaineann le rogha a bheith agat i do chuid féiniúlachta.

Seo é an leagan Béarla-Gaeilge - dhátheangach.

In this episode of Gaeilge Thar Lear, Oisín grapples with complex questions about citizenship and identity as an Irish person living in Germany. He explores his option to obtain German citizenship after five years in the country, but reflects on how he doesn't feel German in his heart. He discusses the challenges of sharing Irish culture with his children who will grow up German, and how identity is far more nuanced than simple passport categories.

The episode also touches on global migration patterns, particularly among the Irish diaspora, and the privilege of having choice in matters of citizenship and belonging. A thoughtful reflection on what it means to call somewhere "home" when you're caught between two worlds.

This is the bilingual version - English-Irish.

San eagrán seo de Gaeilge Thar Lear, bhí an deis ag Oisín comhrá a dhéanamh le Emma de Paor – múinteoir Gaeilge in Ollscoil Leipzig. Tá Emma i Leipzig ó 2019 agus bhí go leor le rá aici faoi theagasc san ollscoil, faoi Ghaeilge a mhúineadh trí mheán na Gearmáinise, agus faoin saol i Leipzig mar áit chónaithe.

Tá Emma ina Bainisteoir Pobail ag Bitesize Irish freisin agus tá sí ag déanamh obair mhór ar son na Gaeilge. Bhí an comhrá seo thar a bheith taitneamhach, agus bhí mé an-sásta an deis a fháil labhairt le hEmma. Tá súil agam go mbeidh seans agam comhrá eile a dhéanamh léi amach anseo.

Bain taitneamh as an eagrán seo.

Tá an t-eagrán seo i nGaeilge líofa ar fad.

In this episode of Gaeilge Thar Lear, Oisín had the opportunity to talk with Emma de Paor - an Irish teacher at the University of Leipzig. Emma has been in Leipzig since 2019, and she had plenty to say about teaching at the university, teaching Irish through German, and generally about Leipzig as a place to live.

Emma is also the Community Manager at Bitesize Irish and is doing a massive amount for the Irish language. This was a really fun chat, and I was delighted to have the chance to talk with Emma. It will be great to chat with her again in the future.

Enjoy this one.

This episode is entirely as Gaeilge.
