To Arthur
So Irish or Gaeilge is the Mother tongue in Ireland, although for the last three or four generations the English languuage has taken hold as the most spoken language and 99% of the population now speak English in daily life with only 1% speaking Irish at home and in day to day life.
We all study Irish for years at school but many still don't end up with a great grasp of the language.
I have been doing a few free evening classes in the village where I live to resurrect my grasp on the language again.
It started in February and today is the final class. It's been fierce enjoyable and I met some lovely people and have enjoyed it.
A few pints tonight with our last lesson which should be fun.
Thanks as always for stopping by everyone
Peace Out
