Welcome to my profile! 👋

Intro

Hello! And welcome to my new profile!

I say new, as I lost my old account due to me losing access to my email and getting signed out…

Anyway, Its nice to meet you, and here’s a little about me:

I first started playing chess on a TV, yes, a TV. It had complete instructions to chess and I picked it up quickly. After a little time, I had my first checkmate on the “Beginner” option on the TV. From that day, my love for chess just grew and grew!

I am an Irish person, currently residing in Leinster. Feel free to speak Irish with me!

Curious about my profile picture?

My profile picture is an image of the East Berlin Ampelmännchen (Ampelmännchen translates to little traffic light man), which is a symbol of culture and history in Berlin, and I think it is really cool!

Want to learn more? Watch this history walk by the official Ampelmann channel!

Linguistics

I can also have small talk in different languages! Currently, the languages I am studying are:

English: Fluent

German: Getting there…

Spanish: Can talk about a few odd bits

Irish: Semi-Fluent

Just to make it clear… I’m Not a doctor. (Yet! Maybe someday I will take a career in the medical field.

Español

Hola, a todos. Me gusta Español y idiomas. ¡Me gusta Irlandés, pero vivo en Irlanda!

Irlanda es un país muy bonita, y me gusta es. ¡Y me gusta España, tiene cultura muy interesante! Y me gusta las Islas Canarias. Lanzarote es mi isla favourita porque es muy volcaníco, y me gusta la geogrofía.

Estudiar Español en mi colegio.

¡Y esta es!

¡Gracias, y hasta luego!

Deutsch

Hallo, Sie! Wie gehts? Ich spreche ein bisschen Deustch und ich lerne Deustch in meiner Freizeit! Mein Deustch ist nicht perfekt…

Deustch ist ein schön sprache, und Deustchland ist ein schöne land! Ich war viermal in Deutschland. Zweimal nach Berlin, einmal nach Frankfurt und einmal nach Hamburg.

Ich liebe die ost-Berlin Ampelmann! Er ist so cool und hat viele Geschichte!

Und, das ist es!

Vielen Dank!

Irish National Anthem:

Sinne Fianna Fáil, atá faoi gheall ag Éirinn,

Buíon dár slua thar toinn do ráinig chugainn,

Faoi mhóid bheith saor,

Seantír ár sinsear feasta,

Ní fhágfar faoin tíorán ná faoin tráill.

Anocht a théam sa bhearna bhaoil,

Le gean ar Ghaeil, chun báis nó saoil,

Le gunna-scréach faoi lámhach na bpiléar,

Seo libh canaig' amhrán na bhFiann.

-———————————————————————————————

English Translation:

Soldiers are we, whose lives are pledged to Ireland,

Some have come from a land beyond the wave.

Sworn to be free, no more our ancient sireland,

Shall shelter the despot or the slave.

Tonight we man the ‘Bearna Bhaoil’ (The Gap of Danger)

In Erin's cause, come woe or weal,

'Mid cannons' roar and rifles peal,

We'll chant a soldier's song!
