Travel Info in Ireland speak Gaelic or English? Is it very difficult to learn Gaelic? Thank you for your answers. Travel Tips only 30% of all people heere in ireland actually claim to speak irish (gaelic) at all, even though it is a compulsory subject all through school. anyway, english is the dominant language by far. there are a few communities, the gaeltacht areas, where irish is the dominant language, but everyone there is bilingual too. they'll speak irish among themselves, but they'll speak english to you. the only thing you have to watch is the street signage, it's monolingually irish in the gaeltacht areas (large parts of connemara, the macroom area in west cork, some parts of northwest donegal, the dingle area in kerry, and some small areas of waterford and meath), so if you're going to drive, buy your maps locally - irish made maps will always have the english and irish names for a place - or you'll have a problem finding your way around. as for learning irish, forget it, you need brain surgery to even figure out the prononciations from the spellings. guess how this is pronounced (it's a girl's name): eadeoin. you won't guess, it's "aideen". the title of the prime minister here is taoiseach, which is pronounced "teeshuck". it's a beautiful, melodious language, especially when sung, but i'd leave the idea of learning it to those with an academic interest.
