Your ex \u2013 the one who doesn\u2019t like you as much as you like them and knows it \u2013 sends a \u201cyou up?\u201d text at 11.32pm. Should you not pick up the phone\u2026 or, instead of replying, why not practice your Irish on Duolingo instead?\n\nThe popularity of Duolingo\u2019s Irish course flies in the face of critics of the language and has been a huge encouragement to those involved in the promotion of Irish. How can we capitalise on this interest?\n\nIn this week\u2019s episode, Darach and Peadar are joined by Alan Maguire and Ellen Tannam from Headstuff\u2019s Juvenalia Podcast. Alan and Ellen have agreed to give Duolingo\u2019s Irish course a go and report back on what they\u2019ve learnt. It\u2019s a tale of cats on turtles, inappropriate koalas, owlsplaining, film references and more crabs than you can shake a stick at. There are chats about new words and gender identity in anthromorphic creatures too!\n\nYou can (and should) check out Juvenalia here: https://www.headstuff.org/juvenalia/\n\n--- \n\nContact the show at https://twitter.com/motherfocloir or email us at motherfocloir@headstuff.org.\nLearn more about your ad choices.
