Irish Stew PodcastI’m curious about the term “native speaker”.
I recognize the importance of supporting the #Gaeltacht. Folks there have been raised in the teanga and are part of an unbroken line of #IrishLanguage usage
That said, I aspire to be a competent #caighdean speaker. I like to think that is a noble aspiration - call me deluded 😜
I guess non-native speakers, such as myself, will never have the blás, but I think it is a distinction that may not be helpful
