Have you ever been in Ireland ?? If not, you have to know some useful stuffs about the Irish accent before going!!!
- It's not "How are you?" but "Hw r ya?"... I spent two weeks before understanding what cashiers told me at the supermarket! (cashiers don't tell you "Hello" but "Hw r ya?")
- Irish pronounce "th" such as a "t" and not such as "z" ... so "three"= tree or "brother"= broter !!!!!
- At the beginning, you could think Irish speak Chinese... actually, it seems to be English after several weeks here....
- A French guy who have been living in Ireland for 5 years, told me : when you could understand Irish, you could speak and understand English all over the world !!
- Watch this video below and you'll understand better:
I'm laughing my ass off......I visited Cork in November and thought "What the hell did she say?" hahahahahahahaha
