Mollie 'The Resurgence of Gaeilge: Irish with Mollie's Effort to Save the Language from Extinction'

Today on the show we have a very special guest, Mollie, of Irish with Mollie Instagram fame. Now Mollie is from Dublin and has been on a mission to spread the love of my native language, Irish, or as we say in Ireland, Gaeilge. To give you a very brief background on our history in Ireland, we spoke Irish up until the British rule, and it wasn't until the early 1900s and 1916 that we regained our independence, but we never regained our native tongue fully.

It's now spoken only in parts in Ireland, and even though it is mandatory in schools. Many in my generation really had little or no appreciation of its beauty. Now Molly's gifted me access to her courses and I'm about to start taking her courses. So who knows, you might start to hear me weave a few words here and there into the podcast.
