It is so weird when you've been watching Xiaoma for years and he unexpectedly uploads a video of him wandering in your home parish and speaking to people you know well. Tá súil agam gur bhain tú sult as do chuid ama anseo i nGaeltacht Thír Chonaill. Dá mbeadh a fhios agam go raibh tú anseo dhéanfainn mo sheacht ndícheall bualadh leat.

I'm Irish and loved watching this, most of us hated learning Irish in School (its more or less compulsory) but I was happy to see how much I can still understand.

[@usmclongrangebrainsurgeon]

Fun fact, Gaeilge is the name of the language spoken in Ireland and it's compulsory to learn in primary school (or at least it was when I was growing up). There are lots of Scoile na Gaeilge (Irish schools) where the curriculum is entirely in Gaeilge. There are also summer camps in the Gaeltacht regions where kids/teenagers go live with a family that speaks Irish and attend a summer school to improve their language. It's a pity it's a dying language so kudos to you Xiao for giving it exposure. I hope you will have many returns to Ireland. I highly recommend checking out the Gaeltacht regions in Mayo (Black Sod Bay) and Galway (Clifton). I went to the Gaeltacht summer school for three summers as an American growing up in Ireland, and I had the best time meeting other teenagers from all over Ireland.

[@Synx201]

i must say as a man from up north in northern Ireland its very nice to see you visit us in our small country, i hope you had a wonderful time exploring the green gem of Ireland and its people, unfortunately irish language isn't very well known thanks to the uks past and its restrictions on teaching it in schools up here like how you get to choose Spanish or French and very few teach it, maybe one day that will change

[@The.Reilly]

Pretty cool way to bring attention to our dying language! There's a few ways the country/government is trying to keep it alive. The Gaeltacht is the big one, but there's also scholarships for Irish speaking people and support given to those in the west of the country, which is underdeveloped but also houses the majority of Irish speakers. There's also the Gaelscoile, which are Irish speaking schools in which Irish is the only spoken language, with even the final exams being taken in Irish. Surprisingly they're quite popular to attend, but they're very few in number.

[@parkiiiiiiii]

Huge respect for reading the comments and going for a part 2 in the Gaeltacht. hope you enjoyed your time

[@MrDylan102]

Thank you for this video! I'm Irish and it does make me sad that the majority of us don't even understand or speak it. I'm planning to learn because of videos like these. Hope you had fun in Ireland! We're a nice bunch that take nothing serious lmao.

[@lee6704]

Love this Xiaoma! Back in my home country but getting stuck in to the Irish speaking regions! DISCLAIMER: for any non Irish folk watching this video, you need to realise how impressive and brave this is. I’m Irish and can’t speak the language and for Xiaoma to even attempt this is seriously impressive!

It is me or is it strange that loyalist Northern Ireland has more of irelands native language surviving than separatist Southern Ireland? Edit: folks I realize Donegal isn’t in Northern Ireland I wrote this comment because xiaoma said “Northern Ireland” and as someone who doesnt live in Ireland or pull up a map I thought he really was in Northern Ireland and I was confused on how the hell a town like that existed in Northern Ireland. It doesn’t. Xiaoma misspoke and confused the HELL out of me

@ I didn’t say it was. But the way Xiaoma said “Northern ireland” I thought he really meant it was in Northern Ireland. I know damn well better than the make the mistake myself but maybe xiaoma should be more careful to not say such things to his audience because I was really confused on the logic there

Dingle in South West Kerry is another place a lot of people speak Irish. The local GAA team would always speak tactics and game plan in Irish because they knew the opposition likely wouldn't understand. Not sure if its still like that though as I haven't been years.

I hope that isn't a debit card he is using abroad. Please people, never use your debit card anywhere but the ATM unless it is tied to a single account that you keep minimal money in. If you aren't great with money, just get a prepaid card and use it, otherwise get a low-limit credit card and pay it off every month. Just because your debit card has a credit card brand on it (e.g. Visa/MC), that doesn't mean it has the same protections against theft and fraud as a credit card does. It doesn't, and your money can take weeks/months to be returned, or sometimes never. Even worse if your card is tied to an overdrafting account like a Savings where someone could take everything from you. If you take more than 2 days to report, you can lose up to $500 of the stolen money.

that is a really dark rabbit hole.
