Irish (the language)

Does anyone else feel a connection to it? My dad was a gaeilgoir but never taught us. But i'm 42 now and still feel a pull towards it. It's inexplicable. I spent a year in france but i feel nothing at all towards the language. But Irish draws me in massively.

@Chickenkeev I would love to learn the Irish language. My Mother and Grandmother grew up speaking Gaelic. It I wish I'd asked her to teach me. Sadly too late!
Is it a dying language? I don't know.

Fáilte! Get on to Duolingo for a gentle introduction, also TG4 and RnaG to develop 'the ear'. It's never too late to learn :)

Tá sé té ach tá scamaill móra dubha sa spéir anseo i mBáile Átha Cliath.
Beidh sé ag cur báisteach i gceann tamaill. 😩

I didn't get on well in Irish class in school. My own DC do have a grā for it. I think that is because they have been brought up beside a Gaeltacht area and their teachers were/are native speakers. I live beside a famous tourist town. Think of a tourist town in Ireland and chances are you have picked the one. There are clubs now in some of the pubs here for those who are interested in conversing in Irish. They are very popular and good fun. I have been to two of them. The range of ages and people is very interesting and the reasons why they are there is very diverse. OP it could be an idea for you

My grandmother mother would talk about "having a wee gra" when I was little. That takes me right back🙂
