Show Notes
Grow member Walter discusses with Emma his journey of learning Irish in Missouri. His fascination with Irish stemmed from his exploration of endangered languages, recognising the cultural importance and identity tied to these languages and their speakers. This, alongside his introduction to Irish music motivated him to start learning Gaeilge. He shares how he uses the language in his family life with his children, as well as at work.
