… says the person that would benefit greatly from that.
Great bit of marketing there
Probably won’t be English and Irish in fairness.
My bet’s on Esperanto and Flemish.
A great by-product of a united Ireland would be combining the Irish language movements on both sides of the border. It goes hand in hand
Assuming she lives to the average life expectancy, I would say there’s less than zero chance of this happening. Even getting to 20% bilingual would be an unbelievable achievement in that timeframe.
More chances of me winning the lotto and I don’t even buy tickets
I hope so.
I agree. We’re all fluent in English, but recently I’ve noticed a lot of the kids speaking American.
Yeah, I’m trying to get a head start on my Mandarin.
Really hope so. Would love to see Irish become our main language again.
That would be class
I’m on Inis Óirr right now. I was brought up in Dublin speaking both Irish and English and did my primary and secondary school education *as gaeilge*.
So here I am on a gaeltacht island and the few locals I’ve spoken to as gaeilge are dismissive of my Dublin Irish, or maybe they’re fed up of tourists.
The island schoolkids walking by are speaking English.
I despair!
Woop woop go on Mollie!!
Not a chance. Gaelic will disappear between Globalism, a disinterested goverment and new generations of Irish kids with even less connection to that past.
No Gaelic is dead. It’s a sad reality but bar a miracle I believe I’ll see it gone in my lifetime
(It saddens me and I’m trying to learn for my own sake but I just don’t see our society ever embracing it again)
Fun fact her courses cost a lot of money, when I saw her open day, we were all interested till she mentioned the cost.
Literally a Mike dropped it was hundreds of euros
I hope not
They want a minutes silence in the dail for Kirk. They are foreign assets and should be treated like it
First thing to do, get rid of these English names for Irish places.
Optimistic much. Just saying this to make headlines and get free advertising at the expense of the native language of this island
Cad is bri le ‚MILF‘?
Theres actually a much stronger chance that Hindi or Arabic would be the second most commonly spoken language in use everyday (that bit being important) by the time Guidera passes onto the next realm. People need both a connection and a motivation to speak a language and most Irish people just dont have that about Gaeilge.
A good place to start is teaching Irish as a foreign language. I can speak more French, Spanish and Italian than I can Irish. I loved languages at school. Irish was the only one I sat at ordinary level
„I think Ireland is going to be bilingual in my lifetime“.
It is its hole.
There is a 0% chance of Irish people being bilingual in Irish. It’s just not going to happen.
