I got in contact with Brandall on February 26th, 2011. I saw his ad on a flyer and, somehow, I decided to cross the line.
I had been looking for somebody like Bran for almost two months until our paths crossed by chance.
Brandall was my guru, and would soon become my friend.
We worked together for nearly eight months. Brandall taught me a few lessons I'll never be able to forget. He left and indelible mark upon me.
And this is only the beginning of the story...

THREE GOOD LESSONS

The first three lessons Bran McMahon taught me haven't been easy to forget.

Number 1: If you don't want them to find out you're a language teacher, don't start spelling words out loud. Or singing the ABC song.

Number 2: When you're not sure about where your destination is, don't take for granted you've boarded the right train.

Number 3: Just because somebody was born in Ireland, it doesn't mean he can speak Gaelainn (or Gaeilge).

Bran's lessons were simple - yet, wise. He was somebody to remember in the days to come.
