It is a beautiful language and the language of my ancestors.
When I hear it spoken or sung I have a deep emotional reaction.

These Celtic languages are really tough. It’s a bunch of difficult sounds and complicated grammar.
Only Irish, Manx, and Scots Gaelic are close to each other, Welsh, Breton, and Cornish are off on a different tree.

The University where I work introduced Irish as a language option four years ago. The class typically fills to a capacity of 20, by the time the last day comes to ‘drop without a grade” half the class is out. Come second semester, only 5-6 typically continue. Looks difficult but one of these years I am going to give it a shot.

I have a problem with people who define themselves as hyphenated Americans.
Be American or be gone.
