Good afternoon. My name is Joanna. I’m not Irish, but I wish I was. It is my dream to visit Ireland someday and I want to be able to hold a conversation with someone who speaks Irish.
(I hope that’s right…)
Nollaig shona duit!
Happy Christmas to you!
Éire, grá mo chroí .
Ireland, love of my heart.

A country without a language, a country without a soul
Happy Christmas

English:’Say what you mean and mean what you say’
Irish:’Ra cad is ciall agat agus cialloidh bhfuil le ra agat’
Airteagal den scoth, ach rud amháin – please stop calling Irish “Gaelic”. Irish speakers and Irish people in general HATE the language being called that word
Otherwise, thank you for promoting the language and doing such wonderful work. Gaeilge go deo 
Slán agus Beannacht
