I am fluent in Irish, 14 years of all-Irish education did the job. I've been doing Spanish for the past 6 years and hope to do it in college once school is over. Otherwise I'll do anight course or something.

I would like to live in Spain in the future so I want learn as much Spanish as I can before I move there.

[Maz]

Depends on what part of Spain...most of the holiday places are english and Irish people!

[noby]

Why would anyone want to live there though? (directed at Maz, not SF.)

[Maz]

I dont want to live there...SF does. I was in Spain recently and the area I was in was pretty much run by British people. Nothing against them but I heard feck all spanish. Most restaurants and pubs were all english.

[DmanDmythDledge]

I think I'm good at Irish. I can speak a good bit of German too.

[paul_oshea]

everyone thinks they are good at irish 'till they go to real ireland (i.e. the west) and then further down to conemara

It was just a short film on TG4. It won some award, I think. I doubt if there's any truth in it. Anyway it all worked out in the end, as he got a job in a pub in Connemara

Here yis go, 'tis called 'Yu Ming is ainm dom'/My Name is Yu Ming.

I'm not bad at German.

I want to live in the good parts of Spain: Madrid, the Basque Country. They're places I've been to and really enjoyed being there so I would like to live there.

[Dodge]

I want to live in the good parts of Spain: ..., the Basque Country.

You're learning the wrong language so...

[superfrank]

You're learning the wrong language so...

I've been there before. It's just like here. There are only a few people that speak Basque day in, day out. Most of the people just have a little bit of Basque and mainly speak Spanish.

I know basic English, hoping to improve soon though .

[gustavo]

Used to have great French done it in NUIM for a couple years but its mostly gone now but still have pretty good Irish .

[Dr.Nightdub]

Tourist Italian and tourist Spanish. Trying to remember which is which is a killer.

I speak Spanish fluently, learning Latin, want to learn Irish. (I cant get by on ta me anseo, Sinne Fianna Fail, Seo Libh Canadh Amhran na Bhfiann, Chaon Che Bhfuil Tu (cant spell it), Ta Me Go maith, mas e do thoile, and of course Pog mo thon)

[BohsPartisan]

Learned some Greek a few years back, thinking of picking it up again.

Used to have really good French but its Rubbish now.

I know. What I meant was, if I was to move to spain, a touristy palce would be the last place I'd go to. I assumed the same for SF.


I knew tourist Greek, and tourist Spanish, but not holidaying there every year, you tend to forget.
