After much soul–searching, Saša and I have come to a realization.
Helping to spread the Irish language to people who would otherwise never have spoken it isn’t viable. There’s a bigger trend that’s been obvious to us for several years now.
We accept, finally, that the English language has won.
England has tried for many, many years to convince us that this was the case. We’ve finally seen the light.
What use is it to teach people Irish Gaelic, when the world will work much better when finally everyone can communicate in one language? We’re only helping you waste your time learning a language that came about 2,000 years ago.
And how can we help the world?
We’re planning to soon launch a whole new service — “English for the Unenlightened”.
This complete language course will (probably) cover the whole range of lessons for acquiring the English language:
- Introducing yourself in The Queen’s English
- It’s and its: its about time people get it right
- How to incorporate English language practice in your every day life
- Why English is far easier than any other language to learn
All that said, you thought learning Irish Gaelic was short-sighted? Learning English might not be that wise either. Chinese is the future, man.
Thanks for using our online Irish Gaelic lessons. We’ll leave them up for members, since what’s the point in deleting something that’s already been created.

I must say, same here 🙂
I laughed when I read this months ago and still think it’s hilarious. Thanks for the chance to read it again!
Thank goodness it’s a joke!
Because ahhh, I’m going to point out that it should be “you’re”, not “your” in the first sentence! Ha ha.
Thanks all for the well humoured responses, I hope you had a chuckle (in the end, at least).
Go maire tú an lá! You almost had me. LOL. Slainte
OH, that’s TOO GOOD! Loved it. And, for further entertainment, check out http://theoatmeal.com/comics/misspelling – another fun collection of egregious (!) misuse of the Queen’s English. ;-))
Well, that got my heart beating! Good one!
ROFL … You got me!!!
Thank goodness it is only an April Fool’s prank. 🙂
As I was reading I was looking for a flight so I could come over and try and convince you both not to cave in to English. LOL

The point in learning to become fluent,Eoin, proves that the Sasanach never killed the Gaelic language! Go n-eirà an bother leat.
