Hello, Irish friends! I'm not Irish, but I am a big fan- so much that for the past year, I've been trying to learn how ya'll speak by keeping a vocabulary list of Irish slang in phone. As soon as I hear a word or phrase I don't understand, I ask what it means and write it down. This is solely my own interpretation of what things could mean. So far this is going quite well!
