Hi Mike,

I'm interested to know why you would say that Irish is not Gaelic ? Are
you perhaps thinking that Irish people speaking the English Language is
the "Irish" Language ?

To answer your question I was fluent in "/Caighdeán /Irish" having gone
to 1st level in a Gaelscoileanna, Irish Language Only School. There we
learned everything including English using the Irish language.
That said, it's been decades since I have used it, although I can still
follow Munster Irish, but Galway and Donnegal Irish is tough. I've been
able to get the jist of some BBC Alba programs.

Hello public radio hackers.
I sent this before, but I think to the wrong address.
Are there any Scottish Gaelic speakers on the list?

I have just started to learn Gaelic on DuoLingo, and it has me addicted.
I would like to have the occasional chat with anybody who speaks both
English and Gaelic online.
There was one teacher chap from Lewes but I cannot remember his name.
I started this because of my love for Scotland, and as a better use of
my down time than listening to endless books on Audible.
