English
Take Irish…yeah deadly. You go to the Gaeltacht…some craic.
My brother has a teacher who took them to Donegal… at night they looked up at the sky and saw a shooting star. They could hear the sea all night. And lighthouse kept shining in the window. The Bean an Tí made mega curry and rice he said and a massive bowl of chips. It was pure cla’… They learned loads of words you don’t get taught in school. Broim is fart. Bladar is when you talk rubbish. Faic is nothing and lofa is rotten. Irish is our language.

An Ghaeilge…cinnte… ghlacfainn í – Téann tú chun na Gaeltachta… craic ar dóigh.
Tá múinteoir ag mo dheartháir a thóg go Dún na Gall iad… san oíche d’amharc siad suas ar an spéir agus chonaic réalta reatha. Thiocfadh leo an fharraige a chloisteáil an oíche ar fad. Agus bhíodh Teach an tSolais ag lonradh isteach ar an fhuinneog. Dhéanadh bean a’ tí curaí agus rís agus babhla mór sceallógaí. Bhí sé thar barr… d’fhoghlaim siad a lán focal nach dteagascann siad duit ar scoil. Ciallaíonn ‘broim’ fart agus ‘lofa’ rotten. ‘Sí ár dteanga dhúchais í.
