In 2008 the Irish-American comedian, Des Bishop, set himself a challenge to learn Irish in 1 year. He made a documentary that was broadcasted on RTÉ over six episodes back in 2008.
He set off to live in Connemara, one of Ireland’s designated Gaeltacht areas, to learn as much as he could of the language with the native speakers. His goal at the end would be to perform a comedy gig entirely in Irish.
