At this time of year, many of us lament not paying more attention in Mrs Grady’s Irish class and would love to have a better handle of our native language.
However, this hilarious video of a New Zealand woman attempting a ‘cúpla focal’ reminded us that we do remember a little bit of what we learned… even if it is only ‘An bhfiul cead agam go dtí on leithreas?’.
Emma Dwan will be celebrating St Patrick’s Day in Auckland so decided to try and teach her Kiwi colleague Simone a phrase ‘as Gaeilge’.
As Emma says, “She’s all set to start primary school now, all she needs is her Tara and Ben book and a few jam sandwiches”.
Fair play to her for giving it a go!
