My Futile Quest for the Irish Language
WHY do Irish language courses NOT EXIST?

They have CZECHOSLOVAKIAN but not Gaelic?!

Thanks, America! I would insult you in Irish, BUT I CAN'T LEARN HOW TO.

Bitches.

As one might infer from my, ahem, somewhat vitriolic rant up there, my quest to learn Irish has hit something of a large wall in that no one offers college or community college Irish courses. The Internet is probably NOT a reliable means of learning a language, so I am stuck there, too.

This sucks. Or thuiaeighs suchghdbuieaoiueth or however one says it in Gaelic. Again: I WOULDN'T KNOW.

BUT THEY OFFER LATIN. LATIN IS DEAD. SHUT THE FUCK UP, COD AND CU COURSE GUIDES. I HATE YOU BOTH.

CAPSLOCK OF RAAAAAAAAAAGE.

OMG I KNOW KEELIN I HAD THIS RANT A YEAR AGO.

FUCKING CREIGHTON HAS AN "IRISH STUDIES" (or something like that) MINOR, AND U OF I, WHICH IS LIKE TWICE AS BIG, HAS NOOOO IRISH COURSES AT ALL.

we have a fucking American Indian Studies major, and I'm pretty sure there are far more Irish people on campus than American Indians.

AND learning Gaelic would be the shit. My grandma taught me a few words way back in the day, and I remember we learned how to count in Gaelic when I was in kindergarten

HOW IS IT MY KINDERGARTEN TEACHES GAELIC AND U OF I DOESN'T!?!

okay end of rant.

loves!

Hahaha, FOR REALS.

I never learned any Gaelic, like, AT ALL. I know the stupid Amerirish phrases like motherfucking "Erin-go-bragh" and "slainte" and whatever, but REAL shit? Nope! It's fucking awful, especially considering how many Irish there are in America. We need to find some classes for realz.

It will be a Quest for Gaelic: COMING THIS SUMMER!!
