Do máthair is ramhar (?)

While particitating to a contest with the theme "Go to the craziest and most useless course ever", I found the idea to attend an Irish Gaelic class particularly relevant.

Mission accomplished: last Monday, I began to study Irish, with a friend of mine and three other people. A 65ish year old retired teacher, 2 close-to-thirty guys (us), and two young girls, about 8-10.

My vocabulary is obviously quite limited. The funniest thing: the pronunciation. It seems impossible to find a real connexion between what is written, and what you have to say.

And no need to say that learning Irish with English speakers, while you're French (or more specifically Breton) is quite an original experience.

But that's so cool to be able to speak Arwen's elfic language. So cool.


PS. On the way back, we hit a deer on the road. That's true. Shit. Remember the scene in "Straight Story", D. Lynch ?
