smmgSpeaking Irish here is good for me because back home I get lazy, because everyone I know who speaks Irish there is also a Welsh speaker so I substitute my Irish with a lot of Welsh, but no one here knows Welsh (except the other person from my home university) so it's forcing me to actually speak Irish properly and not like... Cymraeilge... Gaeilgraeg...
I will frequently insert Welsh into my Irish or Cornish or [insert other language I'm dabbling in here], but weirdly I never put Modern Irish into my Old Irish or vice versa, which seems to be a problem that everyone else I've met who's studied both periods of Irish has.
My Irish is not that heavily supplemented with Welsh. I think my wording in this entry makes it sound worse than it actually is, but I am used to just saying things in Welsh if I forget the Irish which maybe is not a great habit.
