When people list the various projects they plan to undertake during COVID-19 self-isolation, they often say “learn a new language!” Time will tell if anyone actually does learn a new language, which is more difficult than companies like Rosetta Stone and DuoLingo lead them to believe. But these companies may inspire in their customers a desire actually to learn a language, which will be a boon to language teachers.
Ofer Tirosh, the CEO and founder of the international translation services provider Tomedes , views the period of self-isolation as an opportunity for a much more ambitious language-learning project. In an article posted to Irish Tech News he poses the question “ AS WE SIT IN QUARANTINE, IS NOW THE TIME TO BREATHE NEW LIFE INTO GAELIC? ”
Much of the article is devoted to an overview of Gaelic in Ireland and a discussion of language-learning tools and online translation services. But his proposal goes well beyond providing resources for quarantined hobbyists: “I envision a national effort to revive the moribund Gaelic to become a national language of Ireland and Irish people abroad.”
