It is never too late to learn to speak Irish.
You do not have to be Irish to speak Irish.
Once you're out of school, there is no grammar police and most people are just excited to have someone to speak Irish with.

Helping people to understand the language is an act of love.

Garlic around her neck^
ive gotten so much mileage out of this tweet. every time i see something on the internet that makes me mad i just think to myself "people in real life: hey man how's it going" and i keep it pushing
I love it when a woman comes out from a bathroom break and is like “hmm my stomach is a little off today! ☺️” which is her way of telling you that she just took a shit so devastating it might have killed her and everyone in the radius
