"I'm never sure if what I am saying is correct or not!"
It can be challenging to hold a conversation in Irish until you get a good understanding of the structure of the language.
Without this understanding there will be confusion. Confusion causes hesitation, and hesitation leads to a lack of flow in conversation.
