Oh it's a ****ing awful language, and SO hard to learn! I mean, it follows none of the usual rules of the other languages. We don't, for instance, have "male" or "female" nouns; there's no definite article (it's madra, the dog, as well as madra, A dog); plurals are made by adding usually "ai" to the end of a word - cluasa for ear is cluasai for ears) and we have ridiculously long words for really short English ones (gluastain for car, buachaill for boy). Just drives you crazy. I'd hate not to be Irish and trying to learn it.

My friend in high school could speak a bit of gaelic. It's ridiculous as a language, especially with the limited writing aspect.

Despite its oddities and its perplexity I don't hate it. I believe it was created to be sung, not for scholarly pursuits. It's one of my favorite (foreign or non-English) languages when sung.
