Ha that sounds daft! :pac: Aw I'd love to live somewhere where people switch from Irish to English all the time, I often do that in my mind, except sometimes there's French too. :P

You really wouldn't :P This place is pretty dull (apart from the bilingual convos) :pac: Same as that! It was such a balls though, when I was in my Irish oral I found myself getting the French word for what I was thinking of before the Irish word. :P And I'm a fleunt Irish speaker haha. I guess they use the same part of the brain or something, being languages... I do love French though, gona do a 2-year diploma in it along with my degree course down in NUIG

By the way, are the words beour, tome, feen etc used all over the country or just in Galway? Nothing better than hearing a skanger going "I SHIFTED AN ABSOLUTE BYOOOOOOOOOOOORE IN CPS AT THE WEEKEND" :P

Beour yes. Never heard of the other two!

I always switch from a English to Irish accent. If you heard me speaking you'd really notice it. It happens all the time. An saying "three" I usually say it just a "three" and then other times I'd say "tree" or even the word car or park.
I'd say it like "Cahr" "Pahrk" hard to explain.

Haha, that's strange! I hate the way I say the word 'no', I butcher it. I say it like 'no-hhhh' :pac: I wanna make it sound more like 'know', 'noh' is pure culchie like*!

*yes, I know. :P

My mom is a native Irish speaker so English is her second language, and it's so funny listening to her speak sometimes she always puts the stress on weird parts of words.

She says certiFICate instead of cerTIficate, calINdar instead of CALendar, regESter instead of REGister etc
Also the way she says French is hilarious, it rhymes it 'brunch' as in the ice cream, but she sort of rolls the r

We always say "Hawaii?" instead of "how'ya" or "how are ye?" too.

We always say "g'luck" instead of bye where I live, and ewes are "yoes". :pac:

@Mysteriouschic my friend does that all the time, he sounds English, and then when he says things like "half", "park", "art", etc, he just has a pure Irish bogger accent.

Haha I sound kind of eastenders but not as cockney I could easily put on the accent. My friend always gets me to say "Thats shocking" . She finds it hilarious the way I say it. And I say "mum" instead of "mam" .

The phrase "Mother Mange" seems to be doing the rounds lately, or should I say "Mudder maaange".

Thats mad :pac: I always thought native Irish speakers would just have both equally...crazy to imagine someone would speak Irish more fluently than English!

Lads, ye should all have a look at this page, it's an absolute gem! My friend and I found it like a year ago and would literally spend hours on the phone reading them out to each other, it's so hilarious because it's all so true of us westerners :L I haven't looked at it in a few months so the new ones might be **** but the older ones are priceless!

That's it! A good mocking of those Dublin accents! Don't you just hate it when people write it as riode? Eugh....nearly as bad as fingernails on a chalkboard.

What the hell does that mean? Is it like... boy? :L

I think I speak properly for the most part, though I do have a slight "cark" accent sometimes and I think I emphasize the letter r a lot.
