Do you think your handful of phrases counts as "speaking" the language? Most of the Irish people I know would know a bit of Irish but most could not have a discussion about anything significant in it.

Language skills fade if you do not use them.

And my point is many Irish people know a handful of phrases and cannot hold conversations
