Really interesting! I'm better with grammar when it's taught explicitly so the conjunctions and pronouns were weird until I reverse engineered the sentences with google translate. I'm kind of a mynah bird, so I'll be walking around and randomly hear myself parroting words I learned the previous day. "Ceapaire :P"
I had never heard of FutureLearn, so I might look into that!
One of the really interesting things I learned was how much Irish sentence structure influenced English-speaking Irish people. As a result, I could see how much my hometown was indirectly influenced by the Irish settlers who settled there from the late 1700s to the mid 1800s, and the ethnic divide in my hometown between English settlers and Irish settlers from their speech patterns. Really fascinating stuff. (I'm from NY, so we have a massive history from indentured servitude and the potato famine.)
