African Fiona Learns Irish

Practicing Irish in real life 🇮🇪

This was earlier in my journey — now I’m in Week 7 and still learning every day 💚

I went into a teddy bear shop and tried speaking Irish 😅

If you speak Irish, help me out.

Teach me a word or correct me!

Yesterday I went out to practice my Irish at the St. Patrick’s Day parade 🇮🇪💚

It was so loud and packed I couldn’t even see or hear properly 😭

but I still tried 😅

I’m really enjoying learning Irish in real life, step by step ☘️

Follow me as I learn Irish the hard way 🇮🇪

Do you speak Irish?

‎ Today, I went out to practice Gaeilge on the streets of Dublin. I spoke with strangers, Garda officers, and anyone kind enough to help me practice.

‎I'm learning Irish step by step through real conversations.

Yesterday was International Women’s Day, so today I tried saying “Happy International Women’s Day” in Irish to someone on the street 🇮🇪

I’m learning Irish by speaking with people in real life, and she kindly helped correct my Irish. We ended up having such a lovely conversation.

Sometimes the best classroom is the street.

Would you have responded in Irish if someone stopped you like this? 😊

Trying to order chicken in Irish 🇮🇪

The butcher kindly helped me with pronunciation.

Learning in real life is not easy, but it’s worth it 💚
