Like, French is all about learning how to speak and write it. Irish has other stuff, like poetry, literature history of the language etc. Or at least it did when I was in school. Any idea how it's taught now? I'm not sure how I feel about that. On the one hand learning a language from all its cultural angles is great. But maybe that's always been too aspirational, and not worth a shite if you can't speak it. But then....why would you need to? I still think Irish being taught in schools is a good thing though.
