#32 Etienne Rapacki | Cóbanhávan | Teangacha, an Ghaeilge agus a Scéal

from Gaeilge Thar Lear

Sa chlár seo de Gaeilge Thar Lear, labhraím le Étienne Rapacki — polaiglot iontach a bhfuil ocht dteanga aige, an Ghaeilge ina measc.Tharraing gearrthóg ar líne de Étienne ag labhairt i roinnt teangacha éagsúla — Gaeilge san áireamh — aird ar a chumas teanga. Sa chomhrá seo, pléimid a shaol mar dhochtúir i gCóbanhávan, a ghrá do theangacha, a nasc le hÉirinn, agus an ról atá ag an nGaeilge ina shaol féin.Óna óige le Fraincis agus Eastóinis, go dtí an Ghaeilge a fhoghlaim agus pobal a aimsiú tríd an teanga — is scéal suimiúil, pearsanta é seo faoi theangacha, féiniúlacht agus an méid is féidir leo a thabhairt dúinn.Bain taitneamh as!_________________________________________________________________________________________________________In this episode of Gaeilge Thar Lear, I speak with Étienne Rapacki — an Estonian-French polyglot who speaks eight languages, including Irish to a remarkably high level.A clip of Étienne speaking several languages — including Irish — drew attention to his linguistic ability. In this conversation, we explore his life as a doctor in Copenhagen, his connection to languages, his relationship with Ireland, and what learning Irish has brought to his life.From growing up with Estonian and French to building a deep connection with Irish and its community, this is a thoughtful conversation about language, identity, and the unexpected paths that languages can open.
