I wish my school had science or philosophy every day from the first to my last day, and Irish was optional.
From my experience, those saying Irish is in decline usually aren’t angry about it.
I was in honours science back in the day , always got 100% but because I was in lower level Irish and it conflicted with the class times I got lumped into the pass Irish class. Started getting in trouble because the class was too easy. I still love science to this day but had to go down the route of psychology instead of the stronger sciences. Obviously I still hold bitterness towards this year’s later. Irish ought to be optional after primary school. I’ve never had a use for it. And after all that time forced to do it I’m better at speaking German. The language doesn’t have to die but fuck the approach taken to teaching it.
I speak Irish more often in America now than I ever did in Ireland 😂
Might have been more tolerable in school if we were taught it in a “conversational” way. That might have changed since the 90’s IDK.
When you look at the lyrics to the dreoilín, its actually way darker than the dance would have you believe. Seems like every catchy dance trend must have weird lyrics to match.
