I found this wonderful teacher on Instagram.

At the moment I am concentrating on Spanish but will return to irish soon.
I have a decent knowledge but certainly a long way from being fluent.
I would not be surprised to see a resurgence in irish when society fractures.

An attractive lady, cute story (obviously blarney :))

I'm not sure how learning Irish is going to save us though 🤔
It will not, on its own, but it should be learned.

I would not advocate Donegal irish to a newbie. Hard enough to learn galway or munster.

I think the black lad plays at Pop Up Gaeltachts too. There's not many black Africans that can play the uillean pipes, so it must be the same fella.


He stays, every one else, go n-éirigh an mbóther leo

I am focused on Spanish at the moment but also intend to bring my irish up to a fully fluent level. God willing then, I can move on to Portuguese and Italian as they are very similiar. I feel as I am making good progress.

But the above by Mollie is very good. And the amount of Irish lessons on memrise is astounding, including the entire buntus cainte.

You are right, Spanish is great too, Blue Mickey's son is learning it in a night class. He hopes to go to live in Brazil for a while.
