Irish is very hard
Írska er mjög erfið
Iiri on erittäin vaikea
Is í an theanga ís deacra a chonaic mé riamh. Ba an-mhaith liom á foghlaim, ach ní fhéictear dom go mbeidh sí líofa agam riamh.
It is the hardest language that I've ever seen. I would really like to speak it, but it doesn't seem to me like I will ever be fluent in it.
(in fact I don't think this is right).
Irish seems impossibly hard. I've worked all night on this chart for small words causing either séimhiú or urú, and I also tried to make a comprehensible chart for adjectives (which are diffinitively the hardest I've ever seen).
I can't imagine myself fluently writing texts in Irish ever...not like I can do in Icelandic (with some mistakes of course). It's so weird, and I guess that this is what makes it so attractive to me. I've never seen such a difficult language.
It's kind of hard to go on learning it, because it takes nearly all my attention and I feel I'm making no progress what so ever.
It's pretty pathetic actually. Because who speaks irish? And what purpose would it ever serve?
I should use Finnish.
Minun pitäisi käyttää suomea useimmin.

It's curious that I'd always thought that there were way more native Irish speakers than Gaelic speakers in the world, but, if the data in the Wikipedia is correct, I was wrong – while there are around 60,000 for the latter, there are no more than 30,000 for the former. I'm surprised, because I'd always thought of Irish as being in the same level as e.g. Icelandic. =( Alas, there are even more native speakers of Faroese than of Irish!
