‘if you think this is a dead language, don’t you think it should be buried?’ woah.

English accent.

Is iontach é seo. Is foirfe é d'fhuaimniú

Where to start. I moved to a French speaking city at 30 and now at 47 speak French fluently. I’ll move back to the land of my grandfather when I retire and learn Irish.

Go hiontach Seán ceol ar mo cluas, go raibh míle.

To read?, 😢😢😢 níl aon leabhair ann, as Gaeilge... "duan na nollag" would be a good one to read, as, it has, past, present, and, future, sutuations, and, we can follow, in english, until we LEARN it all... go raibh maith agat... *his readings of seanfhocail are iontach 🤗... i am learning ulster area...

It would be grand if you had a transcript for us to read along with or subtitles in Gaeilge. It would help in studying the language.

Me too. People forget. So, seemingly good with languages, I was teaching myself Gaelic. Mum was Limerick side so she referred me to Dad 'Silent o'Miles' was my nickname for him. Man of few words. All he replied was 'you've a Cork accent'. WHAT! So, I've taken my sons all over Eire and me also Scotland. NOW UNDERSTAND ... WAS NOT AN INSULT BUT YOU'VE A TON OF ACCENTS IN CORK AND A WONDERFUL UNI BY THE BY. HOW IN ONE'S RIGHT MIND CALL A DAUGHTER 'DEIRDRE' AND NOT EXPLAIN? GRAN'S FAULT IT SEEMS. SHE PHONED UP ALL OF LIMERICK AND ANNOUNCED 'ANOTHER GIRL BUT SHE'S NO LEGS'. SYMPATHY CARDS ROLLED IN. WHAT KATIE MEANT 'I HAVE NOT LONG LEGS LIKE MY DAD AND SISTER.

September 2023. It's a brutal but poetic language. The language that inspired Tolkien. Which is why I'm here. Lovely to listen to. Thank you 🙏

I love the sound of this language. I have toyed with learning it from time to time. I am a polyglot so, languages come relatively easily to me. It is sad to me when I read comments from the Irish in lots of these videos stating that they have no motivation to learn it because they would rather learn Mandarin or Arabic or something like that. They want some financial incentive to learn the language. Many of them do not seem to understand that the reason to learn it is because it is yours and no one else’s. Your country is doing very well these days. If your language was more prevalent throughout your island, it would be foreigners who would be learning it instead of English if they wanted to do business with you. Think of that for a moment. I know that if I ever visit the place, I will endeavor to learn some phrases in Irish. I will deliberately seek places out that speak it. It seems the polite thing to do when you visit a country to learn its language. From what I can gather, Galway seems to be the likeliest place barring somewhere in the countryside. Is this accurate? Is it an Irish speaking city?

Full of antisocial knackers Ireland is full of whiskey addicts. They are stupid and can't do anything for themselves. Every week there is a new stabbing or home invasion story on the radio. Politicians would sooner bury the country even deeper in debt than give two damns about a proper solution. Am genuinely frightened for my life living here The country is filthy and poorly kept. Parts of Dublin are so disgusting you wouldn't even know they have a sewer system. I realize the country is incredibly poor, but you would think they would have some pride. Even the men in Ireland wear the burqa all day long. They also eat babies, but only halal ones.

Its history is really irrelevant man, in my humble opinion Ireland is a bleak, boring place, full of stuck-up, ignorant, dull (and most often than not drunk) people, which makes for one of the last places I'd ever want to live in (definitely the last in Europe). The only people who think it's a great country are either rabid Irish nationalists or people who've never set foot there. A loud, dirty, aggressive, expensive, hopelessly disorganized, and uncultured place, with horrible food, unfriendly people, widespread drug and alcohol abuse, nothing to do other than getting yourself drunk, and third-world infrastructure. The best part of Ireland is the departure lounge at the airport.

Irish in general are the most aggressive people I've ever seen, Dublin, the capital, is full of dumb thugs with a bad attitude, kicking the Luas (the city tram which only has two lines), breaking bikes for fun or messing with tourists. The police is a joke, they are never there when you need help and if you talk to them they always excuse themselves using the lame pretext of the crisis and nobody seems to really care. Once I was thrown eggs and stones by a group of knackers and I call the police but they never turned up. Customer care is awful in shops and pubs as well as the food they serve. Taxes are ridiculously high for working people and you have to pay really expensive bills for water in a country where it rains almost everyday. The infrastructure in Ireland in general is even worse than the one in many developing countries, potholes on the streets, lack of traffic lights and abandoned buildings is something you'll come across if you walk for no more than half an hour around any part of the city. Transport is lousy and there's not even a metro, traffic is too high for such a small city because the streets are incredibly narrow.

I lived for a year in Northern Ireland and taught French. But I also learnt a bit of Irish via the Open University and got a beginner's degree. It's important to keep your roots. We, the French, couldn't see the importance of our local patois and dialects. It is still frowned to speak a local word in France. I know the Irish and the Welsh are truly resilient and must do whatever they can to ensure they do not lose parts of their histories. Adh mor oraibh (if I remember well). Love from France, always keeping a place for Ireland in my heart. As for languages, I did learn many languages, Irish is to me one of the hardest (pronunciation and grammar).

So that’s where the American accent came from interesting

Please, learn your motherlanguage

Go riabh maith agat a chara..? I think lol. Im trying

I’m an American trying to learn Irish. I was able to use the very little I know with a couple of people while in Ireland recently, but still working on learning more

Is cinnte gur fíor é, 's fíortheanga í. Tá ag déanamh iarracht de dhíth orainn, tusa agus mise, a hÉireannaigh. p.s. is aoibhinn liom an canúint Gaoth Dobhair, iontach ar fad :D ach táim ag foghlaim canúint Oileáin Árann

Irish is not less beautiful than english

Who is this boy?

I am ethnic Russian but I understand English well. I can't pick out a single word from this speech.

It is your heritage, it must never die or you will lose your identity.

The poem is so beautiful as Gaeilge! My Irish is very, very poor and it was so beautifully written and read I could understand most of it without reading the subtitles!

We indonesian speak 2 language as a child, first indonesian language especially at school and formal office, but mother toungue/language that different than indonesian, at home and outside. At yunior high school we learn english (may be arabic). Its good to have 2 or 3 language in children, my mother can talk 4 language (javanese, minangkabau, indonesian, and english)

I looked and found that this channel stopped posting videos 11 years ago. What a shame because I would really like to find out how her plans worked out and what she is doing now with the Irish language.

This language sounds like Arabic or a bit like Chinese

Tha mi a'cordadh riut!

Thank you for this nice speech and an opportunity to practice the language!

Beautiful language, you Irish need to start bringing it back and treat it like the Welsh do with their language. I watched a program a while ago which visited Cornwall and their language Cornish/Kernewek but it’s very rare for modern day folk to know it.

Irish sounds like a Icelandic.

Ta me ag foghlaim Ghaeilge gach la.

Similar to Icelandic language.

I’ve learnt that ‘What is your name’ is ‘Cad is ainm duit’ , however in the intro it says it is ‘Cad é an t-ainm atá ort’. Are these both right?

Bhí an fiseán seo uaslódáilte fadó ó shin ach n'fheadar go bhfuil nasc le fáil go dtí suíomh an t-údar?! Is file iontach é agus léann sé ar fheabhas!

Half Irish and half filipino here , I chose to study Gaelic instead of Tagalog because it’s a dying language , slan!

This is the Lord's Prayer in Shelta. It's an ancient Irish language which has evolved into an Irish/English based Creole. I found it quite fascinating. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnvMm4ltabmViLc

Aontaím le Dónaill 100% Ní bhfaighidh an Ghaeilge bás choíche

Buiochas mór le dia Tá athrú mór tar éis teacht maidir leis an meon atá Ag muintir na hÉireann...go hárithe na daoine Óige ó Taobh an Ghaeilge dí❤️ is Teanga beo í! Labhair í agus Mairfidh sí💚

Great video. Well done for being so multi lingual

I am delighted to find this channel. I am Canadian. My grandparents were from Ireland. I am learning with the free language app Duolingo. It is awesome! There are all kinds of people from around the world learning as well. The grammar is quite challenging but I love this beautiful language. ❤

Tá an agallamh seo go maith, suimiúil agus éasca a thuiscint.

Hope you would save your native language

Maith thú!!! :)

Go raibh míle maith agat. :)

Is Meiriceánach mé agus foghlaím Gaeilge. Thug mórchuid na n-inimirceach a dteangacha go Meiriceá nuair a tháinig siad ach ní dhearna inimircigh Éireannnacha. Ba mhaith liom é a fhoghlaim chun é a choinneáil beo. Tá teanga álainn é le go leor staire agus brí domsa. Tá mo Gaeilge briste ach táim ag iarraidh.

I have two questions. Do the protestant people in Donegal speak Irish as well. Also I hear a twinge of a Donegal accent that I hear in English in your voice. Are there regional Irish accents that correspond to the accents in English, ie Cork accent, Donegal accent?

Maith thú a Dhónaill, bainfidh mé úsáid as an físéain seo !
