And if he isn't a native English speaker then he has already out done me as English is my only language.. Heck I don't even know Irish so Im not in a place to criticize anyone here I don't think..
I must say i find this strange! Are you Irish or not?
Do you live or are you born (abroad) outside Ireland?
I would understand if you were born somewhere else in another country
and you parents haven't teach you native language this happens a lot.
But why the hell is this Irish (Gaeilge) not an official language in Ireland
and why Irish people do not speak it?
Anyway is never to late to start
