Some thought Irish did not count.

black Irish would count, then she'd be hispanic

As a woman of color, I think you posters should be a bit more sensitive

As someone who is both Black Irish and Hispanic, I get a double dip.

I've been learning Welsh in my spare time (v useful in Los Angeles), and now I can say important things like "Dw i ddim yn gwisgo dillad gaeaf ym mis Awst."

I seriously doubt you could say that, most Americans have trouble pronouncing English.

A dozen years in the UK were of some mild assistance in improving my pronunciation in the English language overall. It helped that I started with a plummy Connecticut accent to begin with, though I refused to adopt native pronunciations for "tomato" and "banana" because they smacked of trying too hard.

Can't say my Welsh pronunciation is stellar, stumbling over the "ch" and the "ll" but I am persevering.

LL is a cla sort of sound ch is a hard sound like in Loch but the depends I guess how you pronounce either.

 

BTW I am not the right person to ask, my Grandmother did not speak English until she went to school but that was a long time ago. I am much more familiar with Welsh swear words, well at the time I do not know what they meant.
