I'm hoping to learn Irish using the speak from day one method, hopefully becoming fluent and then moving onto other languages.

You've certainly got a good ear for the language, just continue to practice speaking it "and then you'll be all dressed up to meet yourself", as my first Irish teacher would say. ;)

    It must be seen/examined with regard to the historical causes around him. For example, someone killing a man wearing red is bad, but in context, he was at war with the reds, which helps us understand his actions.

    Although he had the same power as the Dallas office, it referred to him as 'a person of interest' to undermine his power.

    Yes, they mean the same. Perhaps the second is slightly more formal/grammatically correct but it is still used. but in both cases, a better way to say would be You must have dreamt it You must have dreamt of it 'Dreamt' is a better way to say 'dreamed' but people use both.

    Because the singular 'Native American' is being used to refer to the entire peoples and/or he is telling stories of Native Americans and in each story the Native American had been the smart one, if that makes any sense. It is confusing but usually only found in rare cases or in older documents.

    Introduction. Well, I don't know much grammar but the method I'm studying says I should go for context during the first moth anyway, so as long as you understand me I'm fine. Is mise Rufus. Tá mé sé bliana déag. Is Èireannach mé. Rugadh mé i Newcastle. Cònaím I mBaile Ipswich. Is é an baile leadrànach. Is maith liom an chathair Droichead Àtha, Tà sé mo bhaile dù chais.

    'Wires crossed' means the situation got confusing, where one person assumed something different from the second, as if they are talking from different points, if that makes sense. In this sentence, it is because the two people though a certain date was on different days.

    Very well written, just a few corrections with misplaced words. Feel free to correct grammar, you are better at it than me, a native speaker!

    I have read through the article regarding the media violence, and, as an eight-year-old child’s mother, I notice an increasing number of violent and inappropriate content shown on the television. I am concerned about this phenomenon, media has become a part of everyone’s life, television is one of the major influences in a child’s development, and it can serve a positive, educational role. Yet, with the explosion of technology and even nearly all the media access that come along with it, violence is becoming harder to avoid. It is difficult for us, as parents, to prevent our children being exposed to this inappropriate content.
    I have witnessed my own child watched a cartoon in which had characters held the gun and shot each other, and shouting bad words and the next day I heard him saying exactly the same bad words to his friends. It is shocking to think that he spends nearly 5 hours with media every day, that’s even more time that he spends with me! This is definitely a potential risk.
    The problem is that high proportions of media, including television programmes, movies, video games or even books, have some depictions of violence. It is widely agreed that children and adolescents can imitate the violence they see on television; heavy exposure to violent media can be a risk factor for violent behaviour.
    To reduce media violence, as parent, we can make a choice to consistently expose our kids to the stuff that isn't suitable in the media. The government should also take responsibilities and be in charge of this serious issue of media violence, programmes on TV and other forms of media should be classified according to the content and suitable age. Action is needed, and it must be quick.
