Yeah, I’m doing Irish on there too and it’s the spelling that gets me every time.

@adactio — I’m going to stick with it for a while. I had a call with a chap who was looking for Tito’s Irish-language checkout (it exists!) … first question was “An bhfuil tú gaelgóir?” and I couldn’t even answer in Irish. He mentioned he learned later in life after meeting tourists who spoke more Irish than he did.

@adactio It’s a shame that Duolingo really gets wrong: I think spelling is something to perfect _after_ mastery, not during.
