It’s a good thing we are seeing more and more people taking an interest in learning gaeilge and potentially adopting it into everyday speech. A large part of culture and history gets lost when a language does. It would be great one day to see gaeilge become the dominant language again in Ireland and for the government to support it more.
cant really blame the brits for not speaking Irish when they learnt it in school for 16 years and never made a single attempt to engage.
Also most of the language’s decline occurred after Irish independence and is most due to the globalised economy (which is dominated by usa). Like no matter where you are, even former colonial powers, speaking English is seen as a super valuable skill
Has it been a week already?
Redditors will read the cringy forced insult at the bottom and be like /r/MurderedByWords /r/rareinsults
The weekly posting it this image had arrived as reliably as the rising of the sun.
iontach ar fad
See this at least twice a week feck off
Lads ah lads we can’t keep reposting all the same old stale jokes year after year lads ah jaysis.
While I love this comeback, we can cop on in 2022 and still lament the erasure
Bit of an odd comment considering we actually learn Irish history prior to 1910 in school. Family certain history in English schools is kept fairly recent and tends to focus on history from 1914 onwards.
