‘Save this language … I’m trying, Duolingo has Irish I was doing quite well. But it’s tough due to the way the language is structured it’s not intuitive to a native English speaker. Like anything it takes practice and if you stop you lose your momentum … Learning the language online does not save any language. It’s a nice thing to tell yourself, but in reality if one would want to help, one would have to take a lot of money anc create economic and cultural resource in Ireland - that basically means create job opportunities etc. And that’s nearly impossible for individuals to casually support’
