"I used to hate the Irish language, but now...."

I'm interested in people who disliked/hated Irish when they were younger, but then grew to appreciate it as time went by. Any stories to tell?

I think we're talking about different things. In a conversational group that's purely for the language, and whose purpose is learning and using Irish, mutual correction may be acceptable.

What I'm talking about is the kind of situation where people just segue in and out of Irish in normal conversation. Very unpleasant when people start correcting each other - "a *bhféifeá gliomach???*" in that situation.
