      I’d consider English to be my “own language” more so than Irish to be honest. I’ve never used it outside of a classroom and none of my friends or family can hold a conversation in it.

      It was never really my language to begin with.

      I’m dyslexic but I’m picking at duolingo trying to build the courage to do classes. I’m adding irish into my vocabulary, eg, I’ll use Cen Tam e? Rather than what’s the time. I’d love to be able to have a conversation. I have relatives abroad who are gaelgeoirs. Apologies for the spelling.

      Annoying point of view that’s not going to foster anything positive. So, perfect for the Internet.

      Save for a short few years, English was never the language or Dublin. Nor was it the language of Belfast or Galway. Anyone for a spot of Norse? or old French?

      In fairness he speaks a pretty unusual dialect of irish. I suspect we have more irish being spoken daily around the country in gaelscoileanna but unfortunately it’s not making the transition to real world, adult usage

      If you want it to thrive, make it optional in schools. Forcing people to do something always backfires. It’s Hiberno-English that’s spoken in Ireland, separate and distinct to English.

      You can’t shove a language down peoples throats. Which was my whole schooling

      Teaching a child a language for 14 years and by the end of it they are still not fluent. I explained this to a Dutch mate of mine ( who can fluently speak 3 languages ), and he thought I was making it up.

      He has a point. As hamfistedly as it is put. Wales kept their language largely speaking
