Everyone is welcome to come to Speakers' Corner as Gaeilge on Sunday in Temple Bar Square in Dublin -- come and listen, come and speak! Last year I was explaining in Irish how there are groups like Daltaí who do immersion weekends in the US and Canada. A drunken heckler came up and started sreaching that just because I can speak Irish and he can't, that doesn't make me one pioc more Irish than he is. I agreed with him in English with my american accent and everyone laughed! We had a great time last year, hope you all can join us this year if you are in town!

Gra' mo chroi'

if you read you would have noticed
"american accent" also click user name read profile

The profile makes no mention of her origins

Béarla, Delaney. But tá Gaeilge im chroí istigh.

Is cainteoir duchais í mo mham, cé go bhfuil american accent agam!

She doesn't have to be American to be able to do an American accent. She might have done it just for fun and kicks because she felt like it for humor's sake in this situation. I talk with an Irish accent quite a bit of the time and I haven't any reason to do so accept that it is what I want.

A Chailíndoll, maith thú! You speak with a distinct Múscraí blas to your Irish. I simply envy you :)

Le meas

p.s. "beam" is much more better than "beidh muid"

Totally honoured to be simply envied, Ró, : ) ach any blas you hear from me is purely accidental. I'm all over the place le mo bhéal ró-mhór trying to imitate all the sounds I hear around town, wherever they're from. It all sounds so wonderful to me. We'll all be much more better one day agus mé ag baint taitneamh as ar an mbealach! Grmma. Our Speaker's Corner was really cool thanks to everyone who came and spoke and listened. Mo cheol sibh uilig!

Is mór an trua a chaill mé an imeacht seo..maith an cailín!

Irish is our native language. Not english!!!!!!!!! And it never will.

Caithfidh sé go bhfuil iníon Uí Shé úd gafa i mbun an soiscéal a chraobhscaoileadh abhus!

Cad na thaobh go labhraís tusa féin Béarla ansan?

A buddy of mine is a transplant to Dublin and had the following to say about Temple Bar.

"Being in Ireland for almost 3 years now the very name of Temple Bar makes me shiver all over.

Temple Bar is the only place in the world where you’ll find NO Irish people.

It is like an Irish theme park for tourists.

I’ve been there a few times in my first year but never met any Irish people there.

Even bar personnel is Dutch, German, French, Spanish, Chinese (a lot of them!!!!!!) or African.

Like every Irish bar they all have a black person washing your hands at the loos.

Speakers’s Corner sounds nice, but in reality it is exactly like Cailin suscribes.

It’s on Temple Bar’s main square and is basically a place where Irish speakers try to keep their culture alive while drunken Americans and Canadians shout at them, Drunken Scots lift up their kilts, drunken chavs throw bottles at them and drunken Germans fall asleep.

I wish Temple Bar would be more, but at the moment you’re better off going to i.e the Brazen Head or any pub in Smithfield.

Going to a pub on Arbour Hill will give you the most Irish, most Republican and most intense experience you’ll ever imagine.

Just avoid discussions over there."

Go hiomlán fíor. Ach what better a place to start an abhár conspóideach ná the tower of babel? And where better of a place to start showing the world that Irish is spoken in Dublin? May the word be spread all over the world as tourists from all over recount their travel tales to their friends and neighbors. And there were these people speaking in Irish in the middle of Templel Bar. Alas it's only once a year that the speaker's corner is in Irish. Unless someone wants to start it going on a regular basis?? We've got pictures of us there (mostly of me le mo bhéal mór ar oscailt, más maith libh iad a fheiceáil.

Ba bhreá liomsa na pictiúir a fheiceáil, a Chailín. An bhfuil siad ar an idirlíon? Nach bhfuil seanfhocal ann a deir: Is fearr an béal mór ná an béal bocht.

I agree Calindoll. I wish all the best for the Speaker's Corner and their missionary work. If it sticks, they will raise the standard of what a pub should be to the folks who need the most convincing.
