Gaelic is a wonderful language, but many people don't have knowledge

I think you worded that wrong Sam, even if an Irish person doesn't speak Irish it doesn't make it a foreign language to them, it's still our own language..

PS. I know you were speaking in general but an Irish person could be sensitive about your wording
