What a pleasure to see a young person interested in her culture and cultural heritage ! All is not lost while young people like her are around !
SIobhan is SO relaxing in her presentation, and adorable!! So here I sit, Not Irish, but still in New Jersey, USA, getting my share of Gaelic in time for St. Pat's!! And beyond. :)
Hey Jersey person🍀 no worries because I hear there are two kinds of Irish. Those that are and those that want to be 😅👍🏻🍀🙏🏼I also find that we can be taken out of Jersey but the Jersey can't be taken out of us😂🤸♀️👍🏻 best of Irish luck to you!
Thank God you included 32 counties. I was anticipating the worst. :O
like leaving cork out... Only joking, tir gan teanga, tir gan anamh!
32 historical counties of the island of Ireland. Not of the ROI.
@@athulfgeirsson 4 provinces, 32 counties.
@@athulfgeirsson nothing historical , the current of Ireland lad

Love how she looks like she is goin to burst out laughing any second! The dialect is totally different from what i learned i waterford growing up.
I am guessing she is from Galway?
I know! she's so adorable!
@BxxDxx Hoodoo She has said in another video that that's how her grandmother pronounced it.
It's almost if she's actually getting us to say something naughty & she's joking with us!! Like duping delight!! But obviously not as the RUclips comments section would soon be trying to put her right on the slightest mistake!!
Thanks for not forgetting the FATDAD, Siobhán - (Fermanagh, Antrim, Tyrone, Derry, Armagh, Down for those wondering). I'm born and bred County Derry and we are always overlooked so thank you. But great videos, I appreciate it.
Thank you so much! I speak Welsh and only wish for Irish people to grasp their language with as much zeal as the Welsh do!
I am Irish, I’m doing my Irish homework and I’m trying to pronounce it cuz I have to read it in front of my class 😂
A fi!
I'm also Welsh, and I think we could learn a lot from Ireland. Irish is the official language of the law, is compulsory in schools, with exams at 16 and 18 and there are officially recognised areas where the language is spoken in the home and on the street. The electoral system is better too.
I'm an ethnically Irish Brit, Irish family on both sides, dad was an immigrant from Dublin, and I grew up around Gaelic, especially from my grandmother on mums side. We all speak varying amounts of Gaelic, and I'm literally the first generation to be born in England, so now I'm going back and properly learning the language. I really hope to be a part of preserving such a beautiful and ancient language
Your Irish accent is so strong it almost becomes my mother's Welsh accent. I didn't even know this was possible
There are similarities, I agree.
The joy in your beautiful face is wonderful, Siobhan x
I could sit and listen (and look at) her all day.
May Irish and the Celtic Nations never perish
I don't know which is the hardest my Welsh language or my Grandparents Irish language but anyway I'm going to keep on learning and I find it's a awesome channel totally brilliant, Slan ☘🇨🇮👍
Such a beautiful language
From a pedagogical point of view, this is superb: a first-class teacher!
I already like the start: "All 32" 😊
As you can see in the video, the word for province in Gaeilge is cúige, meaning one-fifth, recognising the fact that there were/are five ancient provinces of Ireland. Thanks for sharing x.
I'm an Irish-American learning Irish and now I know how to say the counties my ancestors were from - Contae Chorcaí and Contae Shligigh.
Many thanks to this young lady for providing an interesting and informative video on the proper way to pronounce Irish Gaelic.
There isn't a single proper way of pronouncing Irish, the same way there isn't a single proper way of pronouncing English.
Thank you, you help my pronunciation so much. You look like a cousin, such a sweet Irish face.
Thank you. My great great grandma came to America from County Cavan at age 14. Now I know how to say it in Irish😄
Wow, my mom's father's parents were from Cavan. It must be a very popular place!
You have such a clear presentation with very accessible written notes, that after many years of struggling with Irish, I can start to understand many new things.
Growing up speaking Welsh, I find Irish sounds so familiar, but also so very different at the same time. I think it’s fantastic. Love the video and the language. O Gymru.
Very clear, very helpful. After I watch 30 times, I’ll remember pronunciation so different to spelling.Good job!
My GG grandmother was from Wales and emigrated to Ireland. I married an Irish Dub! It was so high on my bucket list to visit Wales.. Just a day trip but so hope to return !
I like your smile, especially when you are pronouncing the names.
Just luv listening and learning from this girl
Bitesize Irish is the best language video on the internet!
The way u say Armagh is brilliant lol
As a Welshman moving to Ireland, this was a great help! Even as a welsh speak I struggled!! I see similarities, but the orthography is completely different. In Welsh we do also have the mutated start or words with certain letters following certain sounds.
ThankYou So VERY VERY MUCH for showing ALL of us how to properly pronounce the countries and names in Irish !!!
SO VERY HAPPY TO HAVE FOUND YOU ARE OUT HERE ON UTUBE
Teaching all of us watered down Irish roots Americans how to say those countries properly!!
GOD BLESS YOU
Such a kind Soul to do this service for us all...
I cant thank you enough!!
BLESS YOU..😁🙂🌲👌👍🦌🐬🐋🐳🐟🍁🌲🌲🌲🌲🙂👍
Up mayo 💚❤️💚❤️💚❤️
Do you love your Mayo Mammy!?
@@Vesnicie i have a Mayo Daddy.
Have the Junior Cert in 2 hours, this was very helpful for the cluaistuscint! Go raibh míle maith agat💕
It's interesting learning Gaeilge. I'm Kenyan; I speak English, Swahili, and I'm of bantu ancestry.
I love your lessons. Good job you're doing. Danke!
My new favorite channel!
I feel much more confutable with you sister, thank you . I need learn from nothing., raised right by mum and Nan, Cork ladies. I know, those you are working with, are helping those at a higher level, godless them F friends 💚
God bless our nation, and all those who keep our language alive. Excuse my typing mistakes 🇮🇪
Thank you for your very interesting video from Italy 🙂👋
My Murphy ancestors came from Co Tyrone or Tir Eoghain but I have ancestors from various parts of Ireland
My grand-father spoke Cavan Irish .He was from Tully-haw, home of the Magauran's and Maguire's. My Granny was from Cille Aidan, Maigh Eo.
Cool! My Great Grandparents were from Cavan on my mom's father's side. He was born here in the US. His parents died when he was 7 so we never knew anything about them or where they came from😢 I live hearing a native speaker and how to pronounce everything.
Ah now I got a headache :) Great job.... thank you so much! I loved it. What an honour and pleasure to learn this from you. Cheers from Berlin, Germany.
Is maith liom do ghuth, tá sé socair & éasca éisteacht leis. I've been learning to read and write Gaeilge for just over a year now & still can't speak it to save my life. I know & understand words by the way they look not how they sound but lately been watching more videos on vocalization, hope to see a lot more of this series in the future. Go raibh maith agat as uaslódáil. ☘
ᕼᑌᗰᗩᑎ ᖴᗴᒪᒪᗩ How are you with your Irish five months later, I can do basic Irish after that I need a teacher so basic it is, in anyway are you much better at Gaelic ☘👍
Talk in english

Great job love your lessons 👏
Dia dhuit cara how ye doing, I'm a year late on this vid but nice vid tanks for including the north 👍🏼
My Great Grandparents were from Cavan and I'm so proud of that. My Grandpa on my mother's side was born here in the US so he was a first generation Irish American. I would love to know more about where they came from. Now I know how to say the county and town name in Irish, thank you!
Gracias por tu instructivo canal. Buena gente los irlandeses !
Wonderful video.
On a rating from one to ten.
Ten with a plus!
I love your voice Siobhan. 💗👩☘️
GREAT Teacher!
I've only just discovered your great videos. I am learning a bit of Irish Gaelic and am loving it, and hearing your very clear pronunciations is wonderful. Thanks! (Táim i mo chónaí i Ros Comáin :) )
Thank you I needed to pronounce Galway for my homework this helped a lot 👍👉🏻👈🏻✨✨✨
Just found this. Awesome. My mate from Armagh pronounces it differently. Regional accents can be so confusing to a non native, no joke.
Love, love, love. I'm from Michigan, and I was surprised to hear some familiar county names in honor of the mother land.
Couldn't remember 5% of these, but you are great and wonderful and I love Ireland sooo much!!! Greetings from Croatia :*
Half irish half English living in Birmingham, I've been enjoying learning the language of my mother's family,
Go raibh maith agat! (I hope I said that right)
You did indeed say it right, its always nice to see someone try to learn the language, good luck.
This helps me to get close to my Irish roots
I just realized cúige is province, but there are only four provinces, so why use a cúige, which is basically a homonym four the number five- cuig, so it must be because in the old days there were five provinces. Meath was the fifth, at the heart of Ireland where the Hill of Tara is. 🤯☘
You should also mention that there are only 19 letters in the Irish Alphabet. Or in other words ... any letter in Scrabble that is worth or exceeds "5 points" doesn't exist. So no ..... J, K, Q, V, X, Y, Z. The reason why some Irish Names sound like they should have a "V" is because the letter doesn't exist in Irish, so the alternative in "BH" or MH" .... (example) .... As explained in the video ....
Lol. I want an Irish Scrabble game. I'll go by my own rules. 5 points per fada!
I remember Irish words with a bh in them having a v sound not a w sound. I've always pronounced Siobhan like shee - vaan.
It's both depending on the vowels around it :) BH is pronounced like a V in "sibh" but like a W in "a bhord".
My last name is mayo and my whole life never knew the correct way of saying it, thank you I really appreciate this.
I love living in the county that's name changes so much when 'Contae' is put in front of it that my teacher had to spend 20 minutes trying to get my year used to it.
Great stuff this is really useful for my Irish studies - thanks!!
I love this RUclips channel
I love your videos. Sometimes I wish my family didn't migrate to America. But yeah, it's pretty awesome over here too. Thank you for your videos they help me reconnect with my Irish roots. I want to come back. How do the Irish feel about reuniting with their long lost children?
levi record Catholic's only otherwise you'll be lying, you'll be welcomed☘☘🍻❤️👍🏼
levi record To live here happily you'd have to be a millionaire 👍👍😂 stay were you are, but it's good living on your own Island , and been Irish 100pc Gold 🍻☘👍
ah so it's more an idea for expats lol. my grandmother would love it. her parents were born in Birr, County Offaly (not sure if you say the county or town first there, in US we say town, then county)
levi record MERICA FUCK YEA.....
Also I'm surprised like none of the Irish people who migrated to America brought the language with them..... You'd think like a good portion of the American population would be speaking it after the Famine. Ahh well
My Great Grandfather and his brothers Migrated to America from Ireland and I always dreamed of going there, hopefully I will one day. My Great Grandfather last name is Kelley.
My family fares from Contae Fhear Manach. We can trace our roots all the way back to the late 1700s. Not long after part of the family left Ireland for the United States in 1820.
Having said that, love this girl.
Such a fascinating language!
love this, thank you!
Wow. Impressive. There may be hope for me learning to read and speak Gaelic after all🍀🎉🍀! Thank you for your great patience💚 and clear, repeating instruction❤ it is all most helpful!
Siobhán is so adorable.
My ancestors come from Co. Monaghan I was thinking oh good I'll wait until it's mentioned. Started off near it oh good she'll mention it soon.....and, second last to be mentioned lmao Great video I enjoyed it I never knew there were so many counties in Ireland. Go raibh maith agat.
I Will Be Practicing Dear Lady Thank You .
Ana-mhaith ar fad. Really good and clear. Will be returning to this for reference a lot.
Go- Aláinn Siobhán 👍
Something that I'm having a bit of trouble with reading Gaelic is working out when to pronounce mh or bh as W or V. I was told it's based on dialect, but you have used both here. Also in the name Laois, the i comes before the s but is still pronounced as sh; so is the rule for changing pronunciation just if there is an e or i on either side, it still counts?
Hope you can help
Siobháb: All 32
The comment section: fenian intensifies
Thank you for this, it is super helpful for newcomers to Ireland
-Immigrant from South Africa
Awesome! Go raibh maith agat!
It’s interesting how most have English names that actually sound like the counties (An Cabhán, Tír Eoghan agus Ciarraí) whilst others have very different names that are not anglicisations (Wexford and Waterford)
You are me favorit teacher. Thank you very much for the great job.
Yay! Now I can pronounce where my ancestors were from...Contae na Mí
I’m from Ireland and it’s funny hearing how different ur accent is to mine
Her accent in Irish and English sounds very much like my mother who was born outside Spiddal in 1922. Wonderful to know it is not extinct.
Big up Chorcaí ✌🏻
I love you! Thanks for the fun videos!
Fantastic. Thank you.
Thank you Siobhan. I am so grateful the internet and people like you have given me an opportunity to learn history, traditions and truths about my ancestral homeland. My grandfather who died when I was a baby spoke Irish but his son's one being my father never bothered to learn any thing or care anything about his ancestry.
really cool video. this is my favorite aside from the prayers
I love these videos
How to bless yourself
Cool accent I can’t believe those eyes are so rare looking.
I love it

Go raibh maith agat! . Ba mhaith liom moran cheachtana le seo..ar fheabhas!
Your accent is great
If I am not getting wrong as a Greek person I can easily pronounce the kh sound!
Same here in Spanish!
Gracias mi a mi amor desde España
You say your name different to the way I would say it also I’m from CO Kildare
Magnificant
Siobhan, where is your accent from?
That's very interesting to know, Siobhán, thank you. Of course you will have heard of the cabaret artiste Brendan Grace, but I wonder whether you are at all familiar with his album 'His Grace: Alive-O'. In that collection of sketches and songs (recorded live before a Dublin audience, as the title is meant to suggest) there is one in which Grace portrays two farmers having a conversation about pigs, and in so doing mimics their rural speech. Your accent is quite close to the one he used in the performance! I don't know whether there is a studio recording for comparison with that version.
Glad you included all 32, the partition line wasnt a nice touch tho
Why? It's real.

This was so much better than having that fucking Emily says channel read it off in her microsoft sam voice. Ran across County Armagh on wikipedia and I couldnt help but think I was reading it wrong in my head
Go raibh mile maith agat! I loved this. I’m an Irish American trying to get back to my roots. Can you do the song Mo Ghile Mear, but use the trinity college players version. I’d also love more explanations into how word pronunciations change without lenition or Elypsis but just bassed on other surroundings works.
Correction: it’s the choral scholars of University college Dublin
I’d love to have this deconstructed based on actual presentation, reasons for any alternative pronunciation , and a translation. I want to sing this in a concert but I wast the audience to be proud. We have a Celtic festival in March 21 so I have limited time.
3:59 I don't get how Limerick goes from "Lim-nuk" to "Kundae 'Lim-nee" for the County. Waterford also changes when paired with "County."
@@BitesizeIrish Thanks very much!
I like the accent even though I am Filipino
