I am glad you write this. Irish is such a wonderful language and the more people speak it the better. After all language is about making the connection and that is done through the warmth of the interaction not the finer points of grammar and syntax

Irish speaking should be enjoyable but the way it is taught doesn't encourage learning (in my opinion) and for some it triggers unhappy memories of their schooldays. Keep up your writing as Gaelige. Go n-eiri leat

Go díreach é! It's easy to get caught up in wanting to do things 'right' but in reality, it's all about connection and enjoying the journey.

I agree with this. I am a creative thinker and to me no piece of work is ever complete. Some times it feels complete maybe even for years but the same as the life death cycle nothing is ever complete.

Very true! I’m glad that this resonated with you. I used the context of languages, but the feeling exists in all areas of life.
