As Gaeilge

One of ways I immersed myself in the Irish culture is by taking Irish language lessons! And, let me say, Irish is really hard to learn. It is in NO way a phonetic language. And, there are all sorts of occasions to add in extra letters into words that don't change the meaning but completely change the sound. CRAZINESS!

While its hard, I really love learning it! So, I thought I'd share some of the basics with you!
