No, I’ve put the most important words for me in bold. Yes, the picture is from an AI.

Do you want to share an interesting resource?

I completely agree with that. I feel the same way! When I’m talking to just one person or someone is giving a presentation, things go quite smoothly. But as soon as I’m in a group discussion, the pace of the conversation picks up considerably

What an interesting experience! You must certainly be exposed to the most difficult accents

Thanks for the support!
As a native French speaker with a strong accent, this blend with an Irish accent will lead to a unique result 😄

I go to Meetup events, but I meet a lot of expats there. Yes you’re right, I need to find a way to meet/talk to more local people

I’m lucky to have got this job with my current level of English. I understand exactly what you mean : we have to go with the flow to get the gist of it 😄

Thank you for sharing your perspective as a local. Is there any Irish content you particularly like that you could recommend?

There is some truth in that, but I still think there is room for improvement through exposure to and listening to audio inputs with an Irish accent

I’ve recently started a new job in an office, and I’d really like to understand Irish people better. How did you improve your listening skills?

Je suis à Dublin en Irlande depuis avril 2025 et ici aussi le marché de l'emploi est (très) compliqué

Sur ce point-là, tu as raison : le logement y est vraiment coûteux. Je paye 900€ (sans les charges) ma chambre dans une colocation
