You can study a language in school for years, but if you don't practice it in the real world, how fluent are you, really? In this scene from Foil Arms and Hog, a detective needs someone who knows Gaelic, fast. The skit is only two minutes long, despite the video length. (via Laughing Squid)
Des Bishop "In the Name of the Fada" is a wonderful series (available on YouTube). It follows Bishop for a year as he learns enough Irish to do a stand up gig in the language. Highly recommended.
This reminds me of this favorite from a few years back, My Name is Yu Ming.
