Tá cúpla focal agam (I have a few words). I can read the medieval forms of the language quite well, but my spoken Modern Irish is terrible. It didn't help that just as I was starting to learn it, I went to Germany as a visiting scholar and spent a year doing immersive, intensive German language classes. Now, when I try to speak or think in Irish, German gets in the way.
