Yeah, Gaelic.
Gaelic is Scottish ...

I think Irish people should have to learn it. Its part of their heritage and if they are proud to be Irish, then they will want to learn it.
Im proud to be scottish, but i cant be bothered leaningg aelic lol
Gaelic is a dead language but Irish isn't quite dead yet. Plus I think people in Irish schools have to learn it (thats what I'm getting from here) but Scottish people don't have to learn Gaelic, or have the choice to do so. (I hope that makes sense)

The really bad thing is the way they teach us. They teach it to us as a 2nd lanuguage rather than a foriegn language. Most people I know are better at their European languages because they teach it like we don't speak it. Its very annoying having to do 2 languages because I struggle immensely with them and need to get a C3 in French which would be helped greatly if I didn't get it mixed up with Irish sometimes!
How can you mix irish and french ? Well I can understand because 60% of the english language is from the french one, and I think the irish language is not so different from the english one (I said I think lol).
Irish and English are extremely different, I can't see any similarities. Also, isn't French taken from the English language?
Well I never heard the irish language but as Princess said she mixed both I thought there were similarities.

No that's the contrary, look at all the words who finish with "-tion": they are all from French. It's an exemple and I couldn't believe when my teacher told us "60%".

Also the German is from English too, it's a bad version of English like Haus (House in English), Hier (for Here).
Oh I don't mix them cos they're similar! I just do,I'm not very good at languages and its just annoying having an useful one in there when I need to learn French!
