Is it rude to ask my gf not to ramble in Gaelic around her family

It's perfectly normal, only a stupid and rude fucks use language that not all the people around them can understand

while the first anon is correct, i would begin learning gaelic. cool as fuck.

When they start doing so make a joke about it. Once one of them says something look them dead in the eyes and say "I completely agree" everyone will laugh and unless they are rude as fuck they will change to speaking English.

I think it is rude to ask her not to speak Gaelic at all. That would make the interaction with her family and friends suddenly more formal (assuming Gaelic is her first language) and new. Also, she's your girlfriend, if you sincerely think that she's talking shit about you saying anything you don't understand, you shouldn't be dating.

What is perfectly normal is to ask not to be left out. And it is rude of your girlfriend to not keep an eye on whether the level of Gaelic isn't so high that you're not following the conversation for prolonged time or cannot participate.

>Is it rude to ask my gf not to ramble in Gaelic around her family & friends, leaving me to stand around like an idiot?
Yes, but there's a way around the rudeness: ask her to teach you Gaelic.

This is not intended as a "no, YOU move" thing. No one ever questions when someone learning a language doesn't yet understand something, nor do they question when a language learner asks for a translation. As long as you're in that position, you have some license to do these things that might otherwise be considered stupid or rude. And if you end up gittin gud at Gaelic, then you won't have to stand around like an idiot anyway.

Also, she'll love you for it.

I second this. It's what I did in Portugal. Worked urrytime.

I think you're seriously underestimating how much effort and time goes into speaking a language fluently enough to have a high paced conversation with natives. This isn't a thing you do in half a year.

>>17476003
Whereabouts are they from exactly? And Gaelic Irish or Scottish?

It's very rare for people to be speaking what is effectively a dead tongue. Unless they're living in a Gaelteacht.

All this being said, OP could just be lying.

Girlfriends are supposed to be longterm but whatever

>>17476233
I didn't try to suggest that they won't be together for longer than that, just that it's not a short term solution and that it's a huge investment of time and energy to learn a language that will not give you any concrete benefits. It's useless on your CV, unlike plenty of other languages, and very few people speak (I'm assuming Irish) Gaelic. It is also a complicated language where a huge part of the struggle is learning how to hear words correctly because the spelling is so intricate.

>>17476003
You could politely ask her to try to talk to you a little more on the side while speaking with her family.

>>17476003
Nah Gaelic is fucking fire. You're wrong op

>>17476175
Repete lá isso.

I'm not underestimating anything. Of course it will take a long time.

OP's problem is that his girlfriend is speaking to the people around her in a language he doesn't understand. Learning the language provides a long-term solution, in that he will become able to understand the language, but just as you say, that is a very long-term solution indeed. But it also provides a short-term solution: the ability to ask what the people around him are saying without seeming rude or stupid.
