But me not knowing no fuckal at all.
Being English myself i found out that alot of Irish do not want to learn the Irish language, what use is it to anyone, no one really uses it except a few in Galway, even Des bishop had a hard time with it

There are also small pockets of Irish speakers in Donegal, Kerry(Dingle), Cork(Ballyvourney), a small pocket i. Ring, Co. Waterford and Rathcarn, Meath(transplanted from Connamara in the1930s.Also there are many enthusiasts who use Irish amongst themselves in Dublin and other areas.
Unfortunately the Gaeltacht areas are declining in speakers and will probably continue to do so, due to the overpowering influence of English and young people leaving these areas in search of employment.
For a lot of people(not for all of course), the Irish language is important as as a national symbol and part of the fabric of what makes Ireland Irish.... just as England has its symbols..... red roses, Royal Family etc.
And there are some practical uses that some people have made of Irish, broadcasters/presenters have made careers on TG4 and R na G, some have then gone on to English language jobs.
It also provides employment for teachers, translators etc.
A cost benefit analysis on Irish language policy might come up short, but then it is easy to know the cost of everything and the value of nothing.
And Irish, don't kid yourselves using the argument that we should be learning
other, more useful foreign languages instead...... you would be as poor at learning/mastering such languages as you are at Irish ;-)
A basic knowledge of Gaelic also gives you an understanding of the origins of things like placenames in Ireland and the Scottish Highland and even some insight into the meaning of many Irish fore and surnames.

I can speak fluent Spanish, french but Irish I have no interest in learning, most Irish cant even speak their own language which is a pity in a way

I am trying to learn Irish if that helps. It's really hard learning when you don't have someone constantly with you speaking the language, but I discovered a really cool app called duolingo and it's pretty fun and easy to learn with it. Though it will take me a couple of months to learn Irish at least basic Irish

You definitely should. Did you know that in the irish state school exams we got 10% more for doing the exams in irish?...That's worth thinking about!!!!! Next time there's a knock on the door you can say... "Tar isteach"... and charge him an extra 20.

Some words I actually understood! I've learnt them in my Irish lessons. And this gets me more excited and willing to learn it! Thank you for the small lesson in Irish xxx

Pronouncing the words kinda kills me. But I will get to that. I already wrote what you told me in my little notebook. Xxx again thank you

No need to concentrate on pronouncing the words that will come with practice. There is probably a branch of conradh na gaeilge in Cork. They would run Irish Language courses where you can practice with other like minded people.

I'm actually learning with Duolingo. And when I'm in a bus I would repeat the Irish words. Yeah I'm that kinda weirdo who would stop at nothing to learn it. I find it very rewarding when I learn a language by myself, I self taught myself English, but I know Irish can be a bit more tricky. Xxx

No that is not weird. Practicing the words is good to learn the language.
Bliain Nua = New Year.
Ta siul agam go bhfuil bliain nua maith agat = I hope you have a good new year.
