Thank you very much for your explainer. In Welsh, "moron" (pronounced the same) means "carrots" and "mor" means "very." "Mae hi'n mor glên" means "She is very nice." 3:17 "arian" is a Welsh word for money and also means "silver." Even though both languages come from different branches (Irish, Goedelic Celtic and Welsh, Brythonic Celtic) I can see some similarities here.

Tha ceist agam. A bheil thu can "mòran taing" no "Tapadh leat"? Are they used in different situations?
@GaelicwithJasonАй бұрын
Madainn mhath! Mòran taing is a bit stronger. It's the difference between saying 'many thanks' and 'thank you.' You can use both in the same situations, though. It's not a big, big deal. 🙂

when you explained that e(with an accent) was to be pronounced as a long ee rather than an englisized 'e' ( as in egg) you're not explaining then the presence of the other letters such as 'agha' , what is the purpose of the'a' if its not pronounced, and the 'g' if its not pronounced, just asking

Have you done a video explaining the rationale for the different spellings for gaelic words to the english, this is an area where a lot of confusion could be eliminated

So you say 'cupa tì' but on duolingi they teach it's 'srùbag'. This confuses me
@GaelicwithJasonАй бұрын
Ah, great that you bring that up, a charaid! *Srùbag* is more of a 'tea break' or a 'coffee break.' It doesn't mean an actual cup of tea that you'd hold in your hand. That is a *cupa tì* (with several spelling variations). 🙂 Does that make more sense?

I'm struck by how Scandinavian the first few words sound. And snog seems to be a cognate of the Swedish snygg. I'd be very surprised if it wasn't, considering they sound so similar and mean the same thing.

I like how to use muscle memory to learn the words. I look forward to watching the rest of these videos in the hopes of learning just a little bit of this interesting language!

This is exactly how I need to learn a language. I don't remember all the parts of speech and grammar and whatnot, so learning like I learned English, slowly and clearly with examples and plenty of repetition, just building on the basics one step at a time, is how it all eventually clicks into place, in my experience. Even Duolingo is confusing for me because I'm expected to remember what a "vocative case" means or what a "third person plural perfect past participle" is haha. Thanks for your time and effort on these.

This is how Celtic languages should be taught. Came here from a recommendation on a Slovak channel, have learnt some Irish and Breton, and have thought of trying more Scots Gaelic. The grammar differences must be explained clearly and cheerily, with enthusiasm. And I like how you indicate/explain the Genitive. Good work!

My grandfather is from Cape Breton and used to sing me Gaelic lullabies. Now my kids play the fiddle and the bagpipes, and I'm learning the language so I can sing along with them. I love your style of teaching: taking plenty of time on a limited number of words instead of rushing through phrases, lots of repetition, hand gestures. Thank you!
