Wow, I had no idea so many people were interested in learning Irish. I think I've read that it's be related to Basque, which is a notoriously difficult language... is this true? I'd love to see a language profile for Irish on the site, you guys should collaborate on it!
Anyway, congratulations on your progress in what must be a very difficult language! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

As far as I am aware Basque has no demonstrable proven link with any other living language and what debate there is does not to my knowledge encompass any of the Celtic tongues. Andy. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Andy, you're absolutely right, I should have looked into it before making such an unfounded assertion. What I had remembered reading was that there is some shared vocabulary, not that the Basque and Celtic languages are related in any way. You can read more about it here: http://www.ehj-navarre.org/blessons/mowstr.html
I was just reading about the unusual word order of Celtic languages in The Power of Babel, and this must have somehow given me the impression that the group is non-Indoeuropean. I think that was the source of my misconception. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

For anyone interested, here are two rather amusing videos about the Irish language:
