I haven't really spoken any Irish since doing the Leaving Cert in 2004. We had a teacher for the final 2 years of secondary school who spoke in Irish all the time and I think she just ended up confusing us a lot of the time.

Philosophy sounds very interesting. I'm sure there would be something available if you went down that route or even the English Lit one as you mentioned.

I studied both French and German for my BA International degree in uni (also did them in secondary school) but German was always the stronger of two languages for me. My studies now involve translating articles from German into English. I've even done film subtitling, which was tough but interesting.
