I'm not Irish but going by what I've read they didnt get the opportunity, some people won't even state their true nationality as if they are embarrassed of where they are from but at least the Irish are proud to say they are Irish.

Yes indeed we are best passport to travel on
Irish the problem is with our education system they teach irish as u can speak it without teaching you thst people leave school with better french as the emphasis is on speaking in ireland some learns it for 13 years yet a summer In a gealthact people have better irish we concentrate on grammar far too much students learn off essays for there leaving cert reciting words they dont truly understand it's shameful I was lucky every subject to my leaving cert was in irish I had the option but I succeeded simply because before I went school I spoke it at home otherwise your fucked

Well, due to the nature of the business escorts are right not to say where they are from, as well they won't tell their real name.

Irish is a mandatory language in school in present and yet most Irish don't speak it.

Hopefully they keep beating Real in the future.

This 18 year old was a gift from a visiting friend and i had been saving it but yesterday i heard some news that just made me think- fuck it life is too short to have good whiskey sitting in the cupboard

Patriotic.

the escorts say that irishmen are big men, surely they wouldn't lie

You are making a point again about the predominance of English.
As well as Irish and English, a third language has to be studied in second level, usually French, but lesser numbers take Spanish, German, Italian or whatever.
And guess what, after 5 years study, Irish students speak such languages as badly or worse than Irish.
Irish and British live on Islands as do Aussies and Kiwis.
Americans and Canadians live on their big continental '' island''.
And when these English speakers travel, increasingly other people speak English as a second language.

I had the idea already you were expressing some preference for big Irishmen.

It is taught (or at least was when I was there) via writing letters and also by ramming text book theory of its intricacies down your throat.

It should be spoken in class by means of conversation ,and not by reading pre determined stories,poems etc.

I hated it until I got to know an irish teacher who is from an Irish speaking part of the west.............and I grew to admire both the language and those who still use it as their first language.

Still know more French after 2 years of learning it though than I do Irish after about 12 years! (Proves they teach it the wrong way...my teacher friend is right)

Au Revoir
