Duality and DuoLingo: How to return to the Irish language

An upcoming update for Apple IOS 14 will include an added Autocorrection for Irish Gaelic. Do we need it? Ola Majekodunmi, presenter on Raidió Na Life spoke to Louise Mc Sharry on her show on 2fm on learning Irish as an adult and the best way to do it.

Ola says she can't imagine her life without Gaeilge and it is a big part of her identity even though her parents didn't speak the language at home. 

Ola says being an Irish speaker has been a great experience in her life, as a person who has links both Irish and Nigerian culture, she says she loves the duality of both. 

As a starting point, Ola suggests downloading DuoLingo, attending classes, online via twitter and getting involved in conversations happening within the community.
