Speak Like an Irish Person

Why Would You Tell Me That?

Okay, this week’s episode won’t help you avoid the travesty of certain 'Irish' accents attempted by some Hollywood greats, because it’s not about accents. It’s about the unique way English is spoken on the island of Ireland, so it is. The phrasing, the word order, the emphatic tags — we got you covered.

Who better to explain it than Sonya Matthews, someone with two degrees in Hiberno-English?

As if that isn’t enough, Part 1 sees Dave find out about the toughest US Presidential candidate of all time.
