Well, doncha know, Phouka? You're only 2nd generation emmigre. Spreaking Irish should be simple to you! (Nevermind that I know people who *grew up* there and can't speak it either.

) </sarcasm>
The weird thing is, my mom used to tell me that my grandfather and his friend spoke Irish and that my first sentence was a mix of Irish and English. But he died when I was 4 and I lost the language. No one else spoke it. Sometimes when I hear it, I ALMOST understand.
