Sell your Language in Limerick

As part of the Excursions Performance Festival, Ania Bas facilitated a language fair, titled "Sell your language" on Bedford Row, in the centre of Limerick.

We had all kind of reactions, from "I speak English and I don't need any other language" to "What can you teach me in 5 min?"

But there were quite a few people willing to try, for all kind of reasons: time to spend before meeting someone, impressing the house mate's Romanian boyfriend, and so on. One interesting aspect was that nobody ever thought of making a trip to Romania and they knew no Romanian people in Ireland. We showed and shared a few pictures of the Voronet monastery and spoke about the Martisor tradition.

It was an interesting experience, although in the last part of the afternoon it was freezing cold.
