@Saruman38 Actually it's just as simple as it looks to me. I teach it as a foreign language and I had a student achieve full fluency C2 level in 3 years without even going abroad to an English speaking country.

It's a very simple language, no cases, only 3 tenses necessary etc. At the higher levels it is difficult (like any language), but a communicative level of English is not hard and doesn't take long compared with Irish, German, Russian, Korean, Swahili etc. This has been tested. Google it.

@ChuckyJJCthulhu What's that silly classification ?

[Saruman38]

@rabbitwho Correction: It is an international language because of the American leadership in almost all political, scientific and cultural fields, and is a lot harder to fully master than it looks, therefore its status as a lingua franca has little to do with the inherent qualities of the language.

What a beautiful language! Respect to all Gaelige-speakers!

The actress has a distinct Ulster accent, and her Irish is so good, she must come from there - her character is from Gweedore in Donegal and she works as a nurse in a hospital in Letterkenny.

you'll find the Germans and the Chinese usually speak to each other in English.

English doesn't belong to England or America it belongs to everyone.

It is an international language because it is incredibly easy to learn compared to German for example.

But yes we Irish should speak Irish as a first language and English as a second lingua-franca.

There is something very sexy about gaelic being spoken by a good-looking Irish girl with a bit of assertiveness, or "attitude", as we say today.

Another wonderful vid. Gaeilge should be Ireland's main language, for TV, in schools, offices.

English is increasingly useless as England, N. America sink in debt (and I'm an American).

I work internationally, the two main global languages of future are Chinese and German- low debt/high-tech, German a Euro hub. (With Japanese, Spanish, Hindi in 2nd group.)

So Ireland could have Irish as main language, replace English with German for inter-European use- less cost, German is far more useful!
