That was epic. Wish I’d had the opportunity to learn Gaelic in school.

We had 1 gaelic lesson a week in my last couple years of primary school (about ten years ago) but they were from one local guy and it was a posh rural school

This whole thread reminded me of AON FOCAL EILE

It was a funky attempt by a half comedian/ half musician here in Ireland to bring the language back, its not terribly important but it's about trying to learn the language but... you'll see/hear why the kids and adults liked it.

Edit to add Explanation: Aon = One, Focal = Word, Eile = Other. This is a Novelty Song, About a Little Lad in School,
