However, if you believe in reïncarnation, you'd better negotiate a place in the Gaeltacht, as you might be reïncarnted as a frog in Patagonia (where only Welsh would be of any use) or the President of the Royal Society.
Actually, I don't really believe in reincarnation. But I'm hoping one of my past lives changes my mind.

But, you're right. I should get a CD or DVD course and just learn it.
