Video: Americans using Irish slang words to have a conversation

Some of the mispronunciations are great.

Some of the mispronunciations are great.

There are various forms of the English language; there’s English-English, American-English and there’s definitely Irish-English.

We have our own unique take on the language that might seems alien to others because of the amount of slang and colloquialism we drop into daily conversation.

The people over at Facts decided look at this a little more closely by getting American and Canadian tourists to read out typical Irish conversations.
