Irish and English Words

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_English_words_of_Irish_origin


The site listed above is a fun way of finding out how many Irish words you knew already, because they are found in the English language, to begin with, and admitting that you were using them all along in public would be the surprising thing.

Enjoy learning English and Irish both!
