Description

In this episode, I am joined by Caoimhín De Barra, a professor of history at Gonzaga University in Washington and a native of Cork. Caoimhín shares his inspiring journey of learning Irish as a non-speaker and struggling student in national school, to now raising his own children through the language while residing in the United States. We delve into his motivation for learning the language, his thoughts on a potential revival of the Irish language, and how it compares to other revived languages. He also shares a radical idea for revolutionising the Irish language. If you're interested in the Irish language or language revival, this episode is a definite must-listen.
