Sean Downey very true

I know i am a fluent speaker and think its a disgrace

Roisin Rafferty hardly our fault is it. I’m a student and the teaching system is shite.

As an outsider who's never been to Ireland, and who's honestly never planning to go. Why on gods green earth would you bother learning Irish in the first place? And why would you ever use it, except as a secret language that non-Irish don't speak?

@@rutger5000 I really don't like this question and I will try to explain why. I can't speak for the Irish but I would guess for cultural reasons. Irish is a dying language and that itself might be enough of a reason to learn it. There is just the problem as long as noone is willing or able to speak it casually it will die. Contrary to English, Spanish, French or other similar important languages there is little to no incentive to practice Irish. Therefore, parents would have to raise their children speaking Irish; which would mean that English would be a second language to them and that doesn't seem to be the best idea. Which leads to your question being a valid question. Learning a language like Irish can be seen as a waste of time and energy. Similarly the different dialects in Germany are slowly dying. Many schools opted for teaching the regional dialect. However, the students never get fluent and thus never use it in real life. Therefore, the whole endeavour is not more than folklore taught in school and ten or twenty years down the line there won't be a native speaker left to teach those dialects. Nothing of that would be damaging to a society or even an important issue, but I can see that it is saddening to watch a part of ones culture being forgotten. Refraiming your question to: "How much effort should be put into teaching skills that won't help you in a modern, capitalistic society?" Leading to the question: "Why do we learn?" And at that point I don't like the idea that we only learn to be able to earn money. Learning must be allowed to be economically pointless. Knowledge needs freedom. Anything that can be learned is enriching for a society. Either culturally or it will help us finding new ways of thinking about ourselves and the society we live in. Questioning why someone would or should learn something supports ignorance.

MinerMax555 same

As both sides, I can an Italian confirm.

ovvio

@@damienleigh9943 As a confirm,i can Italian both sides

As a can, I confirm both italian sides.

Ja

The old horizontal flip in post!! easier than sourcing a left hand drive

I suspected, haha. So simple, yet so effective :)

@@foilarmsandhog or potentially actually going to Spain. 🤣

@@foilarmsandhog Now it all makes sense! I was wondering why you guys were suddenly wearing your watches on your right wrists instead of left

They were given away by a ring on Foil's finger

how amazing

The Irish are the kindest people I've ever met!

Went for the first time in my life last year and only encountered 3 people who weren’t legitimately friendly. The two cab drivers I dealt with were really nice guys. Best vacation I’ve ever had. And these three guys are an absolute riot. Keep it up.

Yes!

So you mean he is not fluent , in the language? 😑

@@nitink.a567 ino it's like hes part of the 99 percent of us who can't

Or you come from a country where live only 2mio people where we have our own language that noone understands. Well we have a problem, when we say "A lahk sam mal?" (can I pass by?) and all the airport guards are around our necks in a second, because they hear Allah 🤭🤭🤭

@@Ladida386 what country is this?

Im afraid there is a strong connection between theesw two

I remember talking to a teacher that was living and working in a country where she stood out as a foreigner. She said one of the frustrating things was the way people there on vacation would just hand over wads of cash with that 'it's ok we're tourists' attitude. She couldn't afford to live there year round if she was being paid on par with what locals were making while routinely being charged inflated tourist prices. The fact that she was fluent in the language didn't get her off the hook.

😂❤😂❤😂

YES!!

actually, 3:16, i think

in about 3000 years

@@foilarmsandhog Already more than one third there after one year ;)

@@foilarmsandhog You deserve not a million but several.. Your content is outstanding!!!!!!

@@foilarmsandhog Congrats on 600k!

4 of December 2021 669.000 ... Not far away. 😺

What the heck is a tourist area anyway xD As a taxi driver I wouldn't even know where they want to go based on that. Tell me the andress of your hotel or a specific monument you want to see. That stuff is usually spread all across the city, not in one area..?

@@sleepysera Or the destination like any normal person would.

E S Japan?? Nice! We've never been. Airport taxis the same there? 😊

E S hello from Ireland :)

E S we love your anime

@@foilarmsandhog Actually... legitimately no. No broken meters, doors automatically open/close so you're trapped if you try anything funny and can pay by card. The only thing is they're all generally over 55 and will drive too slow or too fast and run red lights, lol. (Plus majority use trains and coaches to go to you central) Look forward to seeing you guys in Tokyo someday.

Thanks Nixeij

I've been trying to learn it for quite a few years now and it's quite difficult. Kudos to you for learning it.

It only now dawned on me you could do that instead of finding a car that has the steering on the other side...

Thanks Kathy. True story, a taxi man once brought me to a suit shop, where i bought probably a 90% polyester suit

Foil Arms and Hog 90% polyester?? Omg hahahahaha loved seeing the Irish in this video too 😂😂

same!!

As a German living in Rome I can confirm

As someone who lived in both countries, there are bus options to several central places in all major airports...

Bus is the best. Meet the locals, learn stuff every time

I have walked to the airport from the South side 😆

Oh Crazy Cat!! We love you too

Taj Warkozek I reckon he's engaged..they made a video about wedding plans a while back

@@Alex_Whatareyoudoing Is he really? 😩

Does the fact that he was the one wearing it mean she proposed?! This makes me love his now-wife even more... Because as a woman I was always against the stupid norms they inflict pon us like just the man can propose and such. I will certainly propose to my future husband!

@@icecranberry2148 And I, as a woman, am not at all against these norms

Oisin Spillane it's gonna a happen very soon too. A lot faster than that 100k took. Sure they're on 141k already

THanks!

Me too, love that venue, except pre 1900 when they used to execute people there. That was a rough gig

Foil Arms and Hog Haha true!

Now it's been 3 years, I just want to know if you are fluent in the language or will you start complaining about shitty Irish , classes..

Its a bold move, if we got 5 minutes out of it, that would be a success

Nah, taxi driver would try to scam them anyway.

Bladfadsf Blaadsfsadf Most are fine. Airport taxi drivers are a different type, usually not in a good way.

Thanks Boss MAN!

That is really sad...

As an italian woman I feel upset at hearing this.

That's what happens when you visit a fascist country.

Cheers!

Cheers Ellie

I was only once in my life driven by a female taxi driver in Kyiv, Ukraine. She was a very old woman, but she drove so hard and fast that I thought she would be fined by police

+Trouble YT nice!!

thanks Eoin

+Fran Wilkinson thanks Fran!!

Thanks Marie

Cheers Debra!
