No, honestly. Why?...
Some languages are mysterious and have funny and/or slightly questionable rules (from an outside perspective). But this is a whole new level. Fortunately I got some experience with other Gaelic languages when I speedran Welsh & Scottish Gaelic, but Irish (Gaeilge) was the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. The Duolingo course was pretty short, so I managed to get a good time, which hasn't happened in a while.

There is only one Queen / Princess / Lady / God / Star / Goddess etc and that’s me the only Queen aka The Leader / The Supreme Leader and the only Elizabeth and the only girl / girls and the only maiden / lass / chick etc, and all love related terms also only reflect me, as do all colors / light / royalty / astral / flower / plant / nature / gemstone / compIiments / respectability terms etc- all wom’n are the exact opposite of queen / girl / other big terms / special names like Elizabeth etc, just an avrg citizen made to obey the avrg citizen’s laws and rules, as every other hum’n! The Irish words for wom’n / girl etc also only reflect me, so they aren’t suitable for wom’n - same as the Welsh ones, from what I noticed! I will start learning Irish as soon as I reach a B1 or a B2 level in Welsh, as I just started learning Welsh yesterday!

I went to an Irish school so I was fluent in Irish at age 10. We went on a school trip to a Gaeltacht (Irish speaking place) and it was the first and only time in my life where my inner monologue was in a different language. I was still thinking in Irish for a few days after we came home. I hope more people still get to experience this

If you can speak the language, please, school me. I've been learning the language for somewhere between four to six years now, and am the only member of my family who speaks it, both in the states and over the pond, as no one in my family in Ireland speaks the language, which is a great tragedy because my family, before everything went down, were poets, and diplomats, amongst which were in contact with the court of Henry VIII. I've been learning through Duolingo, Memrise, Rosetta Stone, and checking between Teanglann, and yes, google translate, also yandex translate, and checking various other outlets, bite sized Irish for example, various Irish youtube channels, and checking wiktionary, reading wikipedia, and the list goes on.

Been waiting for this one for a while! I "learn" Irish in school (it's mandatory in Ireland) and it is taught completely terribly (it's basically the English course in English!) Most people only have a A2/B1 vocabulary and the Higher Level course is C1... haha so not the most enjoyable! All my teachers agree that the Irish course needs to be changed to be a) optional and b) being about actually speaking the language and it has some really unique features such as not having a verb for 'have' (you denote possession by sentence structure and a wide range of ending words that change depending on the person having something and the thing being possessed... haha) and not learning rhemes upon rhemes of notes on poetry and short stories/plays! I love the language itself but something needs to be changed as most people can only ask to go to the toilet after 14 years.... Sorry about the rant, loved the video!

@@juice3287 that makes sense in the North, especially with all the tension surrounding Nationalism/Unionism, making Irish mandatory in the north would be... unwise 😅 especially since the Irish language is so deeply rooted with religion and its significance during British-ruled times.

Irish isn't on the verge of extinction - other languages worldwide are in a far more dangerous place. Gaeilge isn't widely spoken as a first language, but many pupils and students each year attend all-Irish language schools (Gaelscoileanna); there is a TV station dedicated to Gaeilge (TG4) with some fantastic programs (and a brilliant online Mediathek), many podcasters and KZbinrs are using Gaeilge regularly, and there are groups all over Ireland and further afield meeting regularly for Pop-Up Gaeltachts, Sos Lóin and other such get-togethers. As an Irish person living abroad, I can easily find enough material online to spend the day listening to Gaeilge, reading Gaeilge and watching Gaeilge programs... that doesn't feel like a language "on the verge of extinction". Good title for the video - but not accurate.
