[color=#000000ost_uid0]Re Cletic languages - have you ever tried learning Gaelic (as in ga-lic, [iost_uid0]not[/iost_uid0] gay-lic)?

Yeah, just you go ahead and make a comment. I dares ya.

Anyway, back to the topic, it's fiendishly difficult, and required learning in schools in at least the Outer Hebrides ( possibly elsewhere in the Highlands too, I don't know) AS WELL AS the likes of French (which I was rubbish at too, but that's neither here nor there). Possibly it would have been easier if I'd been brought up there, but being dumped straight into the second year of secondary Gaelic meant I had no chance. I still vaguely remember how to say hello, but that's about it. Oh yeah, and "bh" sounds like a "v". But really, nothing else.

Yeah, well, it's one-thirty in the morning, and I just know this is going to make no sense tomorrow, but hey, what do I care?[/colorost_uid0]
