Dia Duit everyone,
I am very puzzled at the amount of people that want to learn irish! When i was in school everyone did all they could to advoid the subject like the plage. I myself hated it!
Now that i am older i really want to understand it, but i find it so very hard! No one I know can speak it...and i live in Ireland!
i need help

It's amazing the things you come to appreciate as you get older. Try to attend an Irish language weekend or maybe take a weekend trip to the Gaeltacht. Maybe get some children's books in Irish, it may come back to you better than you imagine. I took a Spansih class 11-12 years ago and I still remember quite a bit.
Adh mór ort.

You can start with a visit to Conradh na Gaeilge on Harcourt Street. Wonderful bookshop there!

They can point you in the right direction.

Of course, there are weekend programmes in Rath Cairn (Co. Meath).
