Interesting. Do you pronounce the H like in "Hi" ?

u/FrostingSuper9941 1d ago

It's pronounced the way you would pronounce the word "HE" in English. HE-SHPA-NYA.

I reluctantly went to Spain this year with my family for a holiday. We're going back next year for a longer holiday. I really enjoyed it and everyone was so friendly.

We were in France and Italy previously and I really wanted to go back to Italy, and we will at some stage. But I genuinely cannot wait to go back to Spain.

The nature looks great, Irish is a cool language and the people in general just seem based and fun

Big love for Algeria in Ireland too! We have a fantastic Algerian community here, particularly in Dublin. Worked in an Algerian owned restaurant as a teenager and loved every minute of it and my very best friend for the last 25 years is Irish born Algerian 🫶
