HELLO IRISH!!!!!



LIFESTYLE

The people of Ireland are known to be very hospitable and friendly in nature. Having a family life is considered of great importance in Ireland. The traditional ways of the Irish people can be seen more commonly in the rural areas of Ireland. Here, a lot of traditional customs are followed which is quite a contrast to the modern life that is led in the urban areas of Ireland. Ireland also has a large number of people who own their own palatial residences.

The modern Irish follow a more open method of communication. They believe in displaying their affection rather than curbing the same. English still remains to be the most spoken language today, due to the influence of the Elizabethan rule over the nation in the past. The native Gaelic dialect is still spoken by a large number of people of Ireland as a second language. The language was introduced by the Celts and many senior citizens can be found speaking in the traditional Irish tongue as their first language.

The homes in Ireland still follow the same rules and are built in a similar fashion, as was the pattern of the olden days. Bright and cheerful colors can be seen splashed on the walls of most homes with colorful doors. Homes of Ireland are generally terrace houses with the central heating system having replaced the traditional fireplace.
