Many people are very nervous before immigration, do not know whether going to a strange country will adapt, and even many people choose to return after immigration, which is the simplest and most brutal way to respond to the confusion of living in a new place. The most important thing about immigrating to a certain country is language, and the language barrier can cause great difficulties in integrating into local society.
Ireland is a more livable country, not only because of the welfare system in developed countries, but also because of some traits that are suitable for Chinese, such as language.
We all know that although the official language of Ireland is Irish, in fact almost all people in Ireland speak Irish except for a very few areas such as Gaeltacht. If you speak Irish to the Irish, they probably won't understand it. Today's Irish language has compulsory courses in Irish schools, but it is more like the relationship between our vernacular and literary language, knowing English can solve communication problems, and it is more friendly to Chinese who have learned English since childhood.
There is another paragraph about the language of Ireland. It is said that there is a young man who is about to graduate from undergraduate and wants to study abroad, and he does not know where to go. There happened to be a globe, and he said let's look at fate. I casually turned the globe, and then my finger casually pointed to Ireland.
Then he began to look up information about Ireland in the library, knowing that the official language was Celtic, or Irish. Then he was angry before graduation, focusing on Irish, and then came to Ireland after graduation.
At the airport, it was found that he was talking, and everyone did not understand. All the way to the bar and ordered wine. The bartender said he wouldn't Chinese. Therefore, the student is very inferior, his Celtic language is still not learned, is uncomfortable, next to an old man to understand that the young man speaks Celtic (in the west of Ireland, there are still some more remote places mainly speak Celtic, especially some old people), especially happy to use Celtic and the young man to chat hotly. The bartender asked the old man incomprehensibly, "You old man, who has been drinking here for decades, how did I not know that you would Chinese?" ”
This is a joke told by the chairman of the Irish Chamber of Commerce when he received the Chinese delegation, and the Irish people are so simple and kind.
Irish, which was the main language of the Irish people for a long time, began to decline? This began with the English invasion of Ireland.
At that time, Irish was still the main language of Ireland, and in the subtle embodiment of Irish culture, some English people would also use Irish and wear Irish clothing. But the English certainly could not let the people learn Irish all the time, so in 1367 the Kilkenny Act was passed, prohibiting intermarriage between England and Ireland, requiring English-speaking English-speaking English to learn English, and so on.
However, the bill was mainly aimed at the English, but only a small part of the decline of the Irish language. The main reason was that the English were colonial, the Irish revolt was suppressed, and the colonial rule continued to strengthen.
By the beginning of the 19th century, English was already strong in Ireland.
In 1831, the education system established by the British colonists banned students from speaking Irish in schools.
In 1845, the Great Irish Famine eliminated the remaining Irish speakers (famine occurred mainly in poor areas, the main Irish language-speaking areas), about 1 million people starved to death, 1 million immigrants, accounting for 25% of the country's total population. In addition, the Irish language is almost synonymous with poverty, and the whole national culture seems very unconfident.
Natural disasters combined with man-made disasters, and the Irish language declined. The decline of the Irish language has not disappeared, and many public places in Ireland are now bilingual. This is thanks to the cultural revival of Ireland.
In the middle of the 19th century, the national revival trend began to promote the revival of Irish culture, and various organizations and private schools organized a lot of cultural activities to promote traditional Irish culture, such as the GAELIC Athletic Association, the Gaelic Athletic Alliance, a super-large organization that promoted various Irish cultures, which was one of the important products of this trend.
Even though the language commonly spoken by the Irish is now English, the Irish have never given up on Irish, and since January 1 this year, Irish has become the official language of the European Union.
