Yeah it is. Rate it for Irish or in general? Not good for Irish in particular (some good threads on Reddit etc about what), but I use it to supplement other sources. In general, I think it’s good for casual learning or fun, but not going to be your sole source if you truly need fluency.

I’m happy to be back at a big company, working with business customers, and extra-happy to be working in the security space as information security is so critical.

There isn’t really. I’m splitting my time and posts (I rely on Facebook for my glass fusing groups) and just focusing on the fact that every minute less I spend there makes a difference.
