Hahaha......the first bit I learned in school (a very long time ago) is what we had to say when we wanted to go to the toilet...........and the second bit you will find on the buses in Ireland means "Do not cross the white line until the bus stops".

Maybe someday my education will come in useful......

you know english is meant to be one of the toughest languages to learn if you didnt grow up with it..............

Understandaly,I find it hard myself and its my first language!

Maybe we should start an Irish Lessons thread.

You know, we really are a disgrace :wink:

Although, I was back in Dublin a few weeks ago (I have lived in Spain for 7 years) and I could have safely ordered in any cafe or restaurant in Spanish and been understood

Igohydro is Irish, Tá an rud seo Eiranach, Ní leabharan go loir duine éiranach, sin an faith a bhuil muid ag leabhart i mbearla!
Hope that satisfies our Irish speakers.

hey belfast, where did you find that. was looking through me dictionary and could not find that controvercial word. this is interesting though. did all you belfast crowd learn gaeigle in school. its optional up there isnt it. if it was like that down here nobody would learn it. the department of education ruined it for kids. i learned an chlo ceilteach off me granda and now i dont understand most of what my nieces and nephews are learning, its completely different. supposed to be updated and modern.forget about intoducing new words to the language, they have changed all the old ones too. like car used to be gluasteáin and now its "carr" how creative are those eejit civil servants eh? man i have got to stop getting blitzed in the morning. keep goin off in tangents.

I learned in County Limerick where I went to school. I never was much good a languages. Languages are not taught very well in the south, most people cannot speak any languages they studied for the leaving cert. They seemed more interested in teaching to write and learn literature that teaching people how to speak the language.
