    Tá caighdeán mhaith agam, ach níl me líofa cosúil le duine éigin ón Ghaeltacht, mar shampla.

    Níl ach "Gaeilge scoile" atá agam, ach tá mé in ann caint le daoine gan fadhbanna mhór.

    Ach, táim cinnte go bhfuil a lán botúin déanta agam ins an post seo :).

    TI;DR: I speak a bit.

    Mise! And I've been helping my buddies learn recently. They seriously underestimated their Irish. I think a lot of people do. That's why I think Bernard Dunne's Bród club is a good idea.

    And how long will you be visiting Ireland for?

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Tá mé ábalta cúpla focal a chuir le chéile.

    I stopped using Irish over 20 years ago. Even then, I was offered a course in Trinity to do Irish, even though I was good at written Irish, but all of the lectures were spoken. Out loud. As Gaeilge!

    I even struggle with English, verbally...

    ;)
