Your response to Dia duit would always be Dia is Muire duit, as a return hello. Dia duit is pronounced nothing like it looks, just like most of Irish. The "du" of duit has more of a muffled "gu" sound. And they have silent b's and h's sometimes.

I took a semester of it at college, Sophomore year. They teach it to intermediate level and beyond at UB, but it's only one lady. Buffalo has a large Irish population, so actually anyone can go learn it at the Irish Center (where they do makeup classes

for students). Irish native language was outlawed during British occupation, but it has experienced a bit of a comeback. Formerly, only 6 communities spoke Gaelic as their primary language (called Gaeltachs, meaning Gaelic-speaking)

The Pend d'Oreilles are a tribe of Native Americans who lived centered around Lake Pend Oreille. The name Pend Oreille is of French origin, meaning "hangs from ears," which refers to the large shell earings that these people wore.
