Amusing look at Irishness
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
This had me giggle and reading pieces out to my husband who almost tore it out of my hands to read. I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to see the reality of Irish modern Language and culture and Irish English. Although it does miss out on some things for a small book it does capture a lot of Ireland and the Irish. It was interesting to see how sometimes those phrases I take for granted are actually Irishisms. It has a little bit with the Irish Language but most of the book is actually about English as spoken in Ireland. Most of the Irish/Gaeilge in the book is actually useful conversational Irish. I would recommend this book to writers looking to capture modern Ireland and Irish people.
