I am planning to go to England this summer, and I hope to
have some time to spend in Ireland.  After talking to a friend
of my, I began to wonder if I should do some studying first.

She said that the offical language of Ireland is Gaelic & English,
with the English to be phased out in time.  So I was wondering
if I should learn some Gaelic.  I realize I can not learn the
language in so short a time, but maybe a few words.

I plan to study the history of the land, but I don't know if
learning some Gaelic is proper.

I would appreciate any help in this area. 

Thank you
