Tá Gaeilge agat.

Remember all those years you spent learning Irish in school? Most of us wrestled with the Modh Coinníollach at some stage. Some of you even spent a couple of weeks in fear of the Bean an Tí at whatever Ghaeltacht your parents shipped you off to.

It may seem like you’ve forgotten all your Irish but the chances are that it’s still in there, waiting to get out. Seriously, you spent the guts of 12 or 13 years learning this language. You can say more than “An bhfuil cead agam dul amach go dtí an leithreas?”

You’d be amazed at how much you know if you give it a go.

You might find yourself watching a game of football on TG4 and understanding some of the analysis. Or you might use it when you’re on holidays to chat behind the locals’ backs.

Either way, why not dust down your Gaeilge and give it a go. To get you started, we’ve come up with this easy peasy Irish quiz to get you in the mood.

Good luck!

You have more Gaeilge than you think. Try a cúpla focal when you’re on holiday, after a glass of wine with the cailíní or a few scúps with the lads. G’wan, bain triail as! Tá Gaeilge agat.
