Hello again,
after some time away from my blog, I'm abroad again and I'll try to write some new posts, if I'm able to find to time to do so.
I'm in Ireland, my first visit to this green and wet country, and what struck me the most is the use of Irish language (Gaelic). I didn't really think that it was so widely used, but you can find signs in English and Irish everywhere -later today I've found that this is bound by law.
Also, children learn Irish at primary and secondary, but an Irish person told me that it is getting a minority language. What it's a pitty! Since I'm Catalan, I can imagine how Irish people feel when losing a part of its heritage.
Anyway, I'm happy I met some Irish people, with Irish names, who are going to teach me some typical Irish expressions!
