>ITT: you're not allowed to learn a language for fun, it either has to be for
financial gain or because you are from the country it originated in
no fun allowed

>OP specifically says he's not doing this for le heritage reasons
>everyone still ebin memes MUH HERITAGE

its a dead language dont bother learn a useful one instead

>let my language die because it won't make you any shekels
>if i have to learn Arabic to make money I will, I don't care if my whole country is soon only speaking Arabic

>letting your language die
Your ancestors would be ashamed of you Sean

his ancestors let the English language overtake their own, they'd be proud of him following in their footsteps

>ask for help to learn a language
>MUH HERITAGE
Sorry OP but you came to the wrong place
Nobody here knows anything and so we make snide remarks to deflect
I'll get crap for saying this but you'd have more luck with your question over at reddit.
This board is long dead.

Yup. Any general language questions, come to /éire/, there's a few of us that can speak it.

Check out the TG4 Player.

A good show for your maybe is this show they produced: abumedia.com/factual/mobs-mhericea.html

Subtitled and partially in English with an interesting subject matter.

/eire/
lolwut?

I have no idea why its so bad to embrace our heritage anyway. Oh no, not heritage.

My auntie died last week, and one of the biggest comfort was reading the ancient "Irish blessing".

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Made me cry. But apparently...............this is "muh heritage". Aka "cultural appropriation" for Euros

Foolproof technique OP:
>learn 300 most common words
>read irish newspapers
>watch irish tv
you'll pretty much have it down after that
works for any language.

This was really good to watch.

>user gives advice that sounds really stupid
>have never learned another language so can't actually say it is
All the years I've wasted here I could've been learning all of the ancient European tongues

Tbh you'll get a few months and give up, there needs to be a real incentive to learn a language as uncommon as Irish. And you probably won't use it much in person and conversation which is vital in leaning a language. Learning a practically dead language won't be easy

If you're serious as much as I appreciate the gesture there are much much more beneficial uses of your time

>all of the ancient European tongues
Haha why? Waste of time, even learning a modern European language is useless even more so for a yank because unless you're planning on moving to Europe then you'll never used it.

>he won't use it or get money
so what? he probably wastes half his day on 4tism anyway so between that and learning a dying language can you really say one would be a better use of time?

You honestly extract more from shitposting on Sup Forums all day than learning a foreign dead language with no large body of literature to it

>latin
definition of a meme

>1/32 Irish
>I'm irish guys, help me better speak to my people!!!!!
Most irish don't speak much of this language. They all speak english

>implying

We all speak it to varying extents, literally 99.9% of the population uses English as their sole means of communication, if they tell you on here that they don't they're probably lying

Don't encourage this autist pham

Isn't Irish a dead language?
Do people still speak Irish in your country?

MUH

I'm not encouraging him, nobody outside of this country or academic philology should ever spend time learning this language, many here would argue we should not be forced to learn it anymore

I speak it everyday. It's not dead, that's just a meme.

HERITAGE

See below

K-k-keep me posted

Just because you speak it everyday doesn't mean the crushing majority of the population does, it's for all practical purposes dead, don't lie to him

BASED potato!

t. Boston fag

It's not based m8 it's just stating facts, I want the entire population to be bilingual but Irish is taught so appallingly that that is not going to happen any time soon

Heritage, MUH

>I didn't learn irish because I was taught wrong
anyone who says this just didn't care enough to put in the effort and ultimately developed no feeling of connection to their country and now doesn't care that it's being overrun by niggers

I speak Irish you faggot, I'm just not lying about people using it every day, the overwhelming majority do not

>Leprechauns gold kiss me I'm irish XD

Labhraíonn thú an teanga?

Don't think you're immune from that Sean. Your people have been speaking English for hundreds of years.
Just because some of your redneck peasant ancestors spoke gal i gee hundreds of years ago is no reason for you to pick it up.
Move on

Níl ann ach tú ag inist breaganna

Nope, why would I ever lie on a mongolian yurt drawing board

"Irish" is a dead language
Learn Spanish OP, lot more useful in our country

Lad, I don't really care. Just taking the micky, can I not?

I speak 4 languages, my trigger is being told I can't speak my own lad

Tá brón an domhain orm, a chara.
Táim ag tripping balls anois.

Tuirseach orm, oíche mhaith, a chara

Does it really count if you cannot understand it? Someone could be translating the local chinese takeaway menu into irish and you would buy it.

Oíche maith, codaldh snamh.

can i get redhead qts if i learn galic

how tall aare youand how fat are you?
Don't lie to me user
If you really want me to help you get a gf I need you to tell the truth
Also need a name check to check your race

>I want to learn Irish

Learn Scottish at a kindergarten level, get blind drunk. Congratulations, you are now fluent in Irish.

people call me skinny alot but i live in america

I heard Irish people hate it when foreigners speak Irish, and I don't mean just speaking Irish randomly to anyone, actually trying to speak Irish to people who speak it just to practice and shit.

? Yes it does. You could easily dump decades into irish mythology, histories, the Celtic revival, and modern stuff.

I'll probably sit down and learn Irish when I'm older.

lmoa GAYlic

I don't think you realize how fucking cool written Irish looks. I would learn it solely on account of that.

Heck, Tolkien was a fucking linguistics professor and he learned Welsh and Finnish only because they looked and sounded cool as fuck to him.

Why do Irish people hate themselves and their culture so much?

Guiness
>NO I drink Microbrews just like u america kun
Irish whiskey
>NO I drink scotch jus like u British-kun
Irish music
>NO we listen to the same suff as u, y do you think were diffrint?
Irish food
>NO weet pasta n chinese food, I h8 potatoes
Irish language
>NO it's DEAD!

You know, you can like your own stuff. It's okay to be Irish m8.

You heard wrong
