About Me
italki teacher since Jul 6, 2017
I was born and raised in rural Ireland in the last century, in one of the few counties (Mayo) where, alongside native English, native Gaelic in its purest form was and is still spoken. In my twenties I decided to live abroad and learn some foreign languages, including coming here to the Canaries to learn their Whistled Speech, what you and many call Silbo Gomero, and I was soon a competent whistler of speech.

Ceacht thar barr le Pádraig inniú. Bhí comhrá maith againn, agus tar éis sin rinneamar rólghlacadh agus scéal, léamh agus ceisteanna le chéile. Is múinteoir is fearr é Pádraig.
