Hey:)
Ich muss in Englisch ein Protokoll schreiben. Könntet ihr vielleicht mal drüber gucken, ob dort noch Rechtschreibfehler, Grammatikfehler, Tempusfehler vorhanden sind? Ich habe natürlich schon mal geprüft- Ich habe nicht finden können. Aber da ich nicht der Beste in Englisch bin möchte ich lieber ne zweite Meinung einholen. Vielleicht könntet ihr gleich auch aufs deutsche mit gucken( sonst müsste ich das nochmal im Deutsch Bereich reinstellen - und das wäre ziemlich lästig.)
Daanke:)

IV. Ireland country profile – Overview
Einschub: Das „Gälische“ (die irische Sprache) gehört, anders als das Englische zu den keltischen Sprachen. Bei germanischen Sprachen, wie z.B. Englisch oder Deutsch lässt sich oft ein (hoher) Verwandtschaftsgrad nachweisen und daher auch besser verstehen und lernen. Daher ist es schwer das „Gälische“ zu lernen, da keltische und germanische Sprachen nicht miteinander verwandt sind.

What is the “Celtic Tiger”?
The “Celtic Tiger” is a synonym for the rapid economic growth of Ireland from the mid of the 1990’s. It describes the development from an agricultural country to a
modern and mechanized country. Today, many companies like Google Europe have their
location in Ireland, mainly in Dublin. In spite of that, Ireland suffers a lot from the financial
crisis in 2008, when it almost broke down. Since that time Ireland also has a huge problem
with unemployment. The whole situation becomes better slowly.
What is the dominant language in Ireland?
Gaelic is the official “first language”, but the English, which is the “second language”, is the dominant language in Ireland, because most of the Irish can’t speak Gaelic.
What do you associate with Ireland?
