The Irish nation is very fortunate to have Manchan Magan. Thank you, Manchan.

Hmm. Unfortunately when he stood as a candidate in the elections of 2016 in Co Longford he received only 2 % of the votes cast. Obviously the people of Ireland don't appreciate him as much as you ?

Manchan Magan has inspired me to take up the Irish language. I last learned a bit in a boarding school in the north of Ireland. I’ve an ocean of learning ahead of me but I’m encouraged by all the videos an vlogs out there and here I am in the farming heartland of southern Ontario. I was glad to see that your government has come up with some rewards for knowing the language like I think 20 per cent of each branch must be Irish speakers. I only get snippets of Irish news here so I may be mistaken

Lovely to hear you picked up our native language in adult life again Eleanor… so did I. It is part of our identity & a beautiful gift to be able to speak in our native tongue. On the net If you can connect to TG4 our native Irish tv channel or to our Irish Radio na Gaeltacht you will get to hear & enjoy it even more …beir bua agus Slán ☘️

@@davek89666My late mother who, like so many, moved to England when a teen, seemed embarrassed, ashamed of Irish it seems - when a child I asked her if she could tell me some Irish words & she did - how to count from 1 to 10 & a few others such as 'shut the door' ( won't try to spell it in Irish!), post office' & a few more which I remember some of still The British establishment knows that the places they want to loot, & clear the native people from are easier to steal if people have lost their connection to the land, their culture, each other. I never heard any Irish from her again unfortunately & forgot to ask. Now I am trying to learn as a hobby online but woukd love to hear it spoken and learn from that - I tried ti find Irush lessons in Bristol UK where I live but so far none. I would like to buy this man's book it serms fascinating that Irish & no doubt other older languages are so rich in detail about physical & spiritual world. Beautiful.

Manchan Magan is such a bright being illuminating this world with his passionate genius and wise insighful madness that he is truly one of the saints of our age. No better star need exist by which to steer. If you learn from his example you cannot go wrong. Mile beannachtai air.

i have felt the pull of our beautiful land, i sensed something more was in the land beneath my feet and gained a sense of one with her, great, honorable, we must make our language great agian.... I live beside an ancient irish speaking community, the ' gailtác' was in this village up until it was move to co Donegal in the early 1920s... i feel the history here, its place names, and townships has a story to tell...under valued irish heritage surrounds us i believe... more time should given to explore and understand...so many land marks and so many questions... the Irish language could honestly be the key to it all ...

He was a good Bro. However, l was caught by your opening words to Manchán. Lovely way to say, " wonderful to be speaking with you". Maith thú. 🙏🇮🇪🙏

Thank you so much. My family left Ireland for South Africa in 1820, and it's one of the sorrows of my life that I cannot speak this language of poetry and wonder. You gave me a glimpse.

I remember my mother telling me that when they had a match they did not look at the man they looked at the field to see if the grass was green so I suppose fields would be central in the language. Manchan's instruction on many words for Field gives a new insight to the naming of the film The Field. A rural life and had to make a living. On the supernatural dimension when taken to Ireland as a child the fields seemed alive as I was told about Jack o lanterns and of course leprechauns. Bernadette

Is leabhar iontach é seo. Rinne Manchan argóint suimiúil ann faoi an ceangal idir an Gaeilge agus ár gcuid áit ar an tír agus ar an domhan agus ar gcaidreamh le gach rud timpeall muid freisin. Tá sean téarmaí sa leabhar seo nach bhfuil a labhairt níos mó agus cuireann sé brón orm. Ach tá dóchas ionam anois go beidh ár dteanga ag éirí as a glúin mar geal an saothar Mangan agus duine eile cosúil leis.

Series 1, Episode 1 of his series NO BEALA. go to 2:46 and just watch the dirty look he gets from the bus lady once his back is turned, even though she herself has at least basic Irish.Seems the Irish look DOWN on their own language as a sign of poverty or backwardness.Strange attitudes from a people who fought for so long to be "free".

@willslingwood Ай бұрын

I think it’s perhaps the other way around… it certainly was that way in the decades following independence but in recent decades Irish is often only accessible by middle/upper-middle class people (outside of Gaeltachtaí). When I try and speak Irish in our cities I often get a sense of “who do you think you are, with your fancy education”. It’s just as sad really. 💔
