Sprechen zie Gaeilge?


Yeah, it's an election year. Could you tell by the three-cheers-for-the-red-white-&-blue legislation flying around Congress?
Today's buzz is that the Senate voted English as our official, common language. Cest fou! Why not choose something a little more interesting, a little more endangered.
I say, let's make Gaeilge (Irish Gaelic) our official teanga.
Here's a sample lesson:
Is maith liom Guinness.
(Iss my lum Guinness.)
I like Guinness.
Easy enough, right?
Let's try a little Spangaeilge:
Ar mhaith leat burrito?
(Air waw lat burrito?)
Would you like a burrito?

Piece of cake. Right?
Donde esta casa de Guinness?
