Someone says that learning two languages at the same time is effective way, so I started learning Irish.
I had to watch Irish pronunciation videos in English, so I wish my English listening skill is enhanced.
while learning Irish, I realized that there are strong connections between religions and word or language.
For instance, "Dia duit"(one of common greeting words used as "Hello") means "God with you".
"Dia" means some pagan gods like deities of Celtic myth or Greek myth.
But nowadays "Dia" means "the God" (the context of Christian) because most of Irish people are Christian.
Even if the "new religion" covered pagan religions, the spirits of Celtic fantasies remain in "the Ireland"(it was called Erin, means green water or green island).
I researched twenty centuries Irish folklores and Celtic myth for my final research(graduation research), and there were hundred of fairy lores.
Someday, I wanna read Irish folklore in Irish.
I think that is one of my destinations of life; researching Irish folks, spirits, and religions is my lifework.
やっぱり使ってないと言語は廃れるね。
全然上手く書けないや。
もっともっと勉強しなきゃ。

Good evening!
I also think learning two or more languages in same time is one of the best way to learn languages smoothly.
I go to International school, and I have one friends from Finland. He speaks Finnish and Swedish fluently and learning English and German(this is because his mother is from Germany) and French, and his English skills are growing so much in this one year. I think this might be because he is learning lots of languages in same time.
I didn’t know much about Irish, but I think it’s kinda interesting! I have some teacher from Ireland in my school, so it might be a good idea which I ask them about it.
There would be a lot of grammar and spelling mistakes, so please excuse my mistakes.
I’ve been in my current school for about two years, but unfortunately, I am still in English support class in my school……
Hi former Leroux:
I have also heard that learning two languages simultaneously is effective for retention.
In addition to English, which I had always been good at, I decided to study Chinese at university.
It wasn't a mistake, and my grades in both English and Chinese were flying off the charts.
By the way, it's interesting to note that the meaning of the word "Dia" has changed over time.
This is probably due to the changing religious views of the Irish people, in other words, their shifting conception of the soul or God... an invisible entity.
Yes, speaking of spirits, you may not believe it at first glance, but I have an exceptional ability to capture their appearance in photographs.
At the very least, spirits live in the deep mountains of the United States and even under cherry trees at the parks in Japan.
I'd like you to have a look at those pictures when you get a chance.
You noted that you researched folklore and religion in Ireland and reflected this in your thesis work, and I'd encourage you to add to your life's work a look into the stem and origin of the Irish language.
Have fun!

時間かけてスマホ翻訳して読みました。合っているか分かりませんが。要するに効果的に勉強する為、英語とアイルランドについて学んでるんですね。大学生の卒業研究の為に民間伝承とケルト神話を研究されてるそうで。お疲れ様です。
アイルランドについての宗教関係の話しを始めて聞き、大学生ってやっぱ難しい事やってるんだなぁと感心しました。その他細かい所は色々ありますが、「レルランド」の事を「エリン」と呼ばれてたんですね。また、アイルランドには何百もの妖精🧚♂️の伝承があるそうで。何か興味はないんですが、海外らしい面白そうな感じではありますね。日本とは文化違うので。
なるほど、アイルランド人を研究するのは主さんにとっては人生の目的地の一つで。壮大ですね。魂と宗教はライフワークなんですね。
いつかアイルランドの民間伝承読みたい。と書いてあったので、これはすぐに着手したい所ですね。今は忙しいのかもですが。
まぁ、マイペースに頑張って下さい。翻訳して読めて楽しかったです。あなたの人生に幸あれ。
