13 times Tumblr was so right about learning Irish

“And suddenly, a car hit me.”

1. Firstly, the sraith pictíur are totally open to interpretation

“an bae: tar anseo”

ni scullaaaaaaayyyyy / Tumblr scullaaaaaaayyyyy / Tumblr / Tumblr

me scullaaaaaaayyyyy / Tumblr scullaaaaaaayyyyy / Tumblr / Tumblr

2. And your ‘aiste’ must always contain a freak accident

It’s mandatory.

3. Being liberal with fadas is the name of the game

*sticks fada on every vowel just for good measure*

4. The sraith pictiúr are a breeding ground for banter

“Weed iontach!”

5. The prose is always incredibly grim… and yet you find yourself identifying with it

Who among us didn’t relate to Seamas’ plight in An t-Ádh after sitting Paper 2?

6. When you’re listening to tape and you don’t understand a word…

7. Like, nothing

8. This about sums up all the poems and prose on Irish Paper 2

“Dublin is shit. I’m moving back to Inis Mór because it’s always sunny there.”

Irish literature in a nutshell.

11. When you’re reading through the sraith pictiúr and you’re like, “Pssht, would never happen”

12. When you realise that God is referenced a lot

god fado-fado / Tumblr fado-fado / Tumblr / Tumblr

13. And finally… remember learning off these essays about Fadbh na nDrugaí?

Thank God those days are behind us, what?
