Jason, I cannot thank you enough for gifting us with your knowledge and keeping what is unfortunately a dying language alive and accessible to the public.
I was myself born and raised in Scotland - not a word of gaelic was spoken, and after years of living in new countries I saw so many languages fading into the obscurity of the shadow of the English language. Since then, I have made it a priority to learn the language of my own ancestors to keep our culture alive and you have selflessly and gracefully opened up this opportunity for people like myself.
Thankyou, sincerely, for all that you do
Thank you for your kind words, Amy, and for sharing this with us. 🙂 I admire your drive to learn Gaelic and will support you however I can. I plan on filming more videos this year so you can keep growing your Gaelic in an effortless way.
I agree, it is sad to see so many languages decline. So many chances to learn from different cultural perspectives lost because it's often easier or more appealing to speak English. I learned so much from my short visits to the Cherokee Nation and my life is better for it. Likewise, I believe the world is better for having such a range of languages. I'm happy to offer what I can to make the world a richer place. 🙂
Lol I yelled to my cat “Ciamar a tha thu Salem!!” And he came running lol
Sounds like Salem has good taste in languages, Emma. :) The cats I've encountered seem to enjoy the sound of Gaelic.
No one, absolutely no one at the survival 101 course:
Jason: do not use Gaelic on a hike, you will attract bears, snakes and big cats. Wild animals love Gaelic!
It's true! Watch what you say in the woods!
You had me at pets and wild animals love Gaelic!
Welcome fellow animal lover! :) I'm glad you're here.
@@GaelicwithJason Its great to learn with you! I studied Old Norse as part of Viking Studies in order to read the Sagas in the original, but my teacher never dazzled me with insider knowledge of animals loving it so you're way ahead of the curve there ;) (Cognitive ethologist for carnivora)
Fascinating, @@pennywood4365! I'd like to learn Old Norse for that reason too. How did you go about learning it?
Jason you are a great teacher. You have the knack and the ability to communicate on all levels, with that dash of humor thrown in for good measure.
I visit Sout Uist a lot and these videos are helping me tremendously to pick up the mother tongue even quicker.
And I agree, thinking in picures, visually, accerelerates the process of assimilation much faster.
Thank you very much, Peter. I am very happy to hear my videos are helping you get the most out of your time in Uibhist. Which part do you visit often?
@@GaelicwithJason I mainly visit South Glendale in South Uist, Lochboisdale and Lochmaddy. I find the best way to learn Gaelic is to listen to the locals, pick up the buzz words, slang and passages, and assimilate. You should visit South Uist sometime. It is heaven on earth in my opinion
@@peterpaton9785, that sounds like a great time! I remember spending some time in Lochmaddy years ago but I went north instead of sticking around. Next time, I will. Getting to know some locals and picking up living Gàidhlig sounds like time very well spent. Heaven on earth indeed. Take care, a charaid.
Hi, I discovered your channel a few days ago. Till now, i thought it was easier to learn russian than gaelic! But now, with your lessons I find hope again! And I believe that gaelic can be learned! Thanks a lot! You're very pedagogue ! 🏴
Tapadh leat, a Morgane! I am glad you feel more hopeful now. That's wonderful! I almost gave up learning Gàidhlig in favor of Icelandic in the second year of my studies. I thought it would be easier. I'm very glad I stuck with it because there's something about Gàidhlig that has some magic in it - to me, at least.
I'm glad you're here with us. :)
@@GaelicwithJason :) thanks to you! I repeat with the gesture, it's fun and yes, it helps to learn! I am very very happy to have find your channel and to be able to say some words in gaelic during the day! So thanks a lot again! 👍🏴
You're welcome, @@morganeml5481! I'm glad you're here with us. Take care and enjoy your day. I hope your week is going well so far.
@@GaelicwithJason glé mhath, tapadh leat! ;)
It's so interesting to realize the connections between French and Gaelic! In French, you say Tu (easy connection with thu! ) when it's informal, and Vous (sibh) when it's formal. And there are feminine and masculine nouns also! It's a real pleasure to learn with you Jason!
It's fun, isn't? I'd say you have an advantage, Rose, since you're familiar with those. They're not very natural to the English brain! 🙂
Glad that you're enjoying the videos! Enjoy your day!
Thu it is very similar to "tu" in french, for your friends, family, relatives and we have "vous" which is used for pluriel when we talk to several peoples at the time, or older person, or your boss, or to someone we don't know. And it is exactly the same thing in german "du" und "Sie"... So great ! I love your class. continuez ! de France
Bonjour! Yes, it's nice when a concept like that is already familiar. 🙂 I hope your week is going well.
When you said Calum has Iron Brew and I got it...magic! There is nothing better than an "Aha" moment. Jason, I got here through watching Bruce Fummey videos. Thank you so much for the wonderful job of touching our minds!
I really enjoy this channel. You teach in such a fun and helpful way that makes it very easy to understand and grasp.
I'm learning Gaelic at uni and just wanted to have some spoken Gaelic to listen to to keep my mind going and your video was the first result and can I just say OMG YOUR SHIRT I LOVE IT
Another Eluveitie fan. Awesome! 😎
I watched this after a 13+hour day at the post office. Tha mi glè sgìth! 🥱😴
Oh, gosh, I can only imagine! Thank you for your work. You must be awash in Amazon boxes. 🙂
First, my daughtr listens to Eluveitie, 2nd you are the Bob Ross of learning gaelic. Love it!
She has excellent taste, Devin! Thank you for your kind words. 🙂
I've watched just a few videos with your instruction and am using statements that I'm able to remember and actually understand just within the last 24 hours of beginning. I don't feel overwhelmed or even self-conscious in doing so. The way you're teaching and relating concepts is exceptional. It's *sticking*!
Wonderful to hear that Gaelic is getting stuck in your mind. Whoo! :D You're welcome here any time. Enjoy your day.
Jason you are great teacher. I do and redo your classes everyday. Love it.
It's a pleasure to be part of your days, a charaid! 🙂 The repetition will do wonders for your Gaelic. The words and phrases will be deeper in your mind without you lifting a finger. You're doing great!
I'm thinking you must have spent time amongst the native speakers? As a native speaker I am very impressed. Sgoinneil !
I love that you are teaching our language in such a brilliant way, glad that hopefully it will stay alive !
Hello Jason, I appreciate your work. I can now begin to learn the language of my ancestors, please keep posting.
Mòran taing, Billy. I appreciate your appreciation. Enjoy the journey - I will support you if I can.
Gaelic is easier than learning French only loving how I can already practice some of the words around the house
You’re such an amazing teacher! :) such a calming soul!! Thank you
Brilliant!
Thoroughly great work Jason - very easy to understand in both the way its written and presented. All the best - Master Brian MacGregor.
I will be reviewing all these videos until I get my new computer ....up and running....Thank you so much
I just wanna say tapadh leibh for all your lessons - you're by far the richest resource for gaidhlig learning online!
'S e do bheatha, a Chloe! Thanky you for your kind words. 🙂 I am glad you're here with us! Come back any time!
Thank you! I love your little illustrations!!
My pleasure, Amanda. Tapadh leat! The drawings make everything more lively and memorable. Plus, they're just fun to make!
Halò agus feasgar math! I'm from switzerland and I've started to learn gealic three days ago. I can't thank you enough for gifting me your knowledge. Your lessons are funny and so easy to understand. Next year I want to start a jouarney in scottland for three or four weeks, thats why I wanna learn this incradible leanguage. Tha mhath, tapadh leat Jason!
Thank you for your courses, great addition to learning on line. Very nice language. Keep up the great work Jason !
My pleasure, Barbara! I will keep making videos as long as I can. Come back any time - it would be great to run into you on here again. :)
This is Day 10 of my Gaelic lessons and I'm learning so much thanks to your videos, Jason. I've been using hand gestures to reinforce muscle memory. Thanks so much!
Hai Jason! Glè mhath agus tapadh leibh! Fantastic videos! Really appreciate your hard work😀
Madainn mhath, Debbie! Thank you very much. I'm glad you're here with us - come back any time.
Wanted to learn Gaelic for ages but never found good online resources or had time to study. Thanks to corona, I got some time on my hands and I stumbled upon your channel! It's good fun so far! Greetings from Germany.
Welcome, Elisa! I'm glad you're here and that you have some time to learn Gaelic now. I hope it's going well for you. Whereabouts in Germany are you?
@@GaelicwithJason I like working from home, so it's not going bad so far! I would love to plan a visit to Scotland for the summer, but that's got to wait for a while now... I live in Aachen in North Rhine-Westphalia, very close to the Dutch an Belgian border.
Glad to hear it's going ok for you over there, @@elisali877. I visited Aachen years ago - someone I was visiting in Brussels had family right over the border. It was really nice to be able to use my German instead of stumbling through Flemish or French! I bet you'll make it to Scotland and really enjoy it. The quarantine is building anticipation, right? :) Take care and enjoy your day.
Does anyone else see the chicken? (His thumbs up..) XD
Hehe!
I totally agree on your assessment of Runrig. 👍🏻 Donnie Munro years, of course.
Yes indeed! I quite like Bruce's voice and yet, it's the Gaelic songs that really touch me. :)
Great work man. Keep it up, loving your course
Tapadh leat! I'm glad you're here with us. :)
@@GaelicwithJason halo Jason. Tha mi Hamish
Iv been learning Gaelic on my own for 5 days 2 or 3 hours a day.
I was wanting to find a good bit of written Gaelic media to dissect. But all the Gaelic good read lists are in Gaelic. Tapadh leat
@@texmex4321 Madainn mhath, a Sheumais! It sounds like you're dedicated. That's wonderful. You're right - it can be hard to find accessible Gaelic books for learners. I wrote a novel specifically for learners called Ròna agus MacCodruim. It's available on Amazon if that's of interest to you. I'd recommend studying Gaelic for a while before reading it so that it's a more enjoyable experience.
@@GaelicwithJasonmadainn mhath, a chaneil mi dona a-nis

im using song lyrics, easy to find. doing the Duolingo course and watching online
im having trouble setting up the keys on my laptop and id rather not type lots on ma phone
I hear you. If you're using Windows 10, there's a way to set the keyboard to Scottish Gaelic. Then you can press the ` key before a vowel to add an accent above it. Macs can do the same thing without changing the keyboard language.
Love your teaching style and your classes, I’m gona comment this on every video lol, YOU SHOULD START A DISCORD SERVER FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO SPEAK GAELIC WITH OTHERS. Being from the US it would be awesome to have a place to practice with others!
Loving the t-shirt
Many thanks! Always nice to run into a fellow fan. :)
Hi, thank you so much for these videos! They're one of the best resources I found for learning Gaelic.
:) Would you ever consider doing a video on the letter r specifically?
Hi Emily. Thank you for your kind words. What about the letter R are you looking for?
Calum glè mhath oir ha irn bru aige! 🤩
O, tha!
Hello. Greetings from Euskal Herria (Basque Country). I found your channel about a week ago and this was the first video I saw. Beforehand I had never heard Scottish Gaelic, only some Welsh and Irish, but I consider Scottish Gaelic to have a more beautiful accent. Yeah. It sounds great and it would be a shame if Scotland lost its language.
Currently I am mainly focusing on learning Suomalainen (Finnish) and because it is spoken only by some 5 million people, there is a lack of resources for learners, but to be honest that's not much of a problem when you've deciphered the right way to learn such a language from scatch when you are not paying a teacher to give you lessons and have no way to move the country where it is spoken... So long story short what I do is I formulate a long, nice sentence or paragraph with a lot of different vocabulary and after writing and writing it 15 to 20 times in 2 days, I memorize it. And once I've been doing this for a whole year I will have developed several skills in the Finnish language that will be enough to take the next step.
I use Google Translate to get my sentences right and then (after having learned the basics and speaking languages with a similar grammar and logic) I check how well the sentences are translated. Most of the time I have to break them down to parts and twist the words here and there, but it ain't that hard to get a nice, clean translation. Then I listen to the pronounciation too, but the problem here is that for Scottish Gaelic I really have no foundation or way to do this as there's no voice feature on Google Translate, and it being a minority language... I really don't know how well the sentences are translated for the possible lack of information the Google algorithm might have. So I don't know how to pronounce anything and it just seems impossible to success with this language without the help of a native speaker. So I ask you to considerate including videos where you make up sentences and translate them into Scottish Gaelic and go word by word on the blackboard and I promise I will learn them and help your language to not disappear in the future. Probably will even move to where it is most widely spoken in Scotland and stay there for 2 to 3 years when I'm older. Thanks. Have a good day.
Kaixo!! Euskal Herritik nator ni ere, ez dakit oso ondo zergatik amaitu dudan Gaelikoa "ikasten" (beno, hasi besterik ez naiz egin) baina ilusioa egin dit Euskal Herriko beste norbait topatzea komentarioetan xD
ya dancer!!!
ahahah love it
Glad to hear it! Come back any time. :)
Hi Jason, thank you for all your hard work, it’s really good stuff!
Is there anywhere l can find the audiobook or lesson(s) on your super book ‘ RONA’ to make sure my pronunciation is right?
All the best 👍
Mike
Thanks very much! We don't have an audiobook recorded yet BUT we do have a native speaker lined up as a reader. I hope it'll be ready at some point this year.
I like Jason presentation of the Scottish gealic it is fun learning with him .😊
Is toil leam Jason taisbeanadh air gaidhlig alba ,seo abhachd ionnsachaidh le esan.
I'm glad you're enjoying it, Ann! Learning any language should have a strong element of fun, in my opinion.
@@GaelicwithJason
I have learned some new words but have been trying to speak the pronunciations I have written some Scottish gealic of the comment I made of your presentation I don't know if the comment in gealic is alright or if the grammar is correct .
@@annmacleod1099 I wouldn't worry too much about being correct at first. Just get the Gaelic in your mind through listening and reading. You'll be learning how to write and speak at the same time. Accuracy can come later, once you're thinking in Gaelic.
@@GaelicwithJason thank you Jason you really know and understand people who are learning and what is important of how we learn it .❤😊Ann x
Thank you,@@annmacleod1099! I do my best. As a teacher, I feel that the most important thing I can do is understand my students: your backgrounds, strengths, challenges, goals, personalities, and what is meaningful to you. Then I can teach you as YOU, not just as Student 3152A from Inverness.
I have subscribed. I enjoy the videos so much. Have you ever considered making a foundations 5-9? I love the format and really want more of these lessons! Led thoil! I am just starting to really understand the language. Chan eil Gàidhlig mhath agam. Bu toil leam.... Foundations 5-9!
Welcome Jill! Thank you for subscribing and supporting my work. I do indeed have many more Foundations videos - they're the rest of my online self-paced Foundations course, which also has readings based on the videos. There's more info on my website under 'self-paced courses'. :)
This video was glè mhath.....see what I did there? Your vids are a great help to learning
I would love for you to translate some of the gaelic on outlander. I go crazy wondering what JAMMF said in those scenes ( like right before Claire goes back thru the stones). Also some of bear mccreary’s haunting song lyrics. I’m obsessed.
Hmmm, is there any of it written down somewhere? I could see a video or two being made of that. :)
I mentioned Saor in another video and now I see a few other musical mentions here, whether the shirt or verbal (Metallica, Runrig). Kudos for the quality taste in music, but I'm wondering if you could recommend bands that help with Scottish-Gaelic pronunciations? Rammstein, for instance, are key for a lot of people wanting to learn German because of the clarity of their enunciations. I'm wondering if there are bands who could help learners of this language speed up their progress? I'm not familiar with Runrig, though I have recently listened to some Julie Fowlis.
Glad to meet someone with similar taste. I've been really into Osi and the Jupither lately. 🙂
Most Gaelic singers are singing in traditional ways, which can be hard for learners to hear the spaces between the words. Plus, there's loads of traditional poetic vocabulary that isn't all that useful for everyday conversation. The band Manran, however, has loads of original songs that could really help a learner. Check out 'Latha Math' - it's very catchy.
hi, loving your lessons. Just started learning Gaelic, I have an app and a DVD learning course and am watching your video's. Only been learning a week but I make sure to do an hour every night. I'm a Scottish History degree student and travel up to Scotland every year from Yorkshire, I thought my career would benefit from learning Gaelic once I get my PHD and move to Scotland or Canada. Just ordered Rona to read. anyway Ciamar a tha thu fhein?
Hey Rebecca! Tha gu math, tapadh leat. Tha cupa tì agam agus mar sin, tha mi toilichte. :) I agree - having some Gàidhlig under your belt will only help your studies. I appreciate your dedication to Scotland's history. The Gaelic component to Scotland's history seems to be neglected quite often. I hope you enjoy Ròna!
Tha mi toilichte oir an tuisge-baetha seo glè blasta. 😉
Ò, tha. Is toill leam an t-uisge-beatha sin gu mòr! 🙂
Jason, what lesson follows this one? I am in need of more and I can't find another one. I have completed Gaelic Foundations 1-4. More please!!!
Hi Jill. :) These Foundations lessons are the first parts of my online Foundations course, which has many more lessons and readings for each section.
Where did you find the torc? Do you know anything about the new England stone walls? Check out that video Secrets Of The Stones, you are from Maine it's right up your alley. And do you know much about the old rune letters?
Cheers for the video suggestion. I've heard of that but never seen it. The runes - did you mean the ones supposedly on Monhegan island? I'd like to look more into all that.
My torc was made by Crafy Celts. They do lots of different designs and many other things too. When a wire broke, they repaired it no problem.
Eluveitie bonus sub....;)
Well spotted! Are you a fan as well?
@@GaelicwithJason Oh yes! At first I was sad over the split then I realized we fet twice the music now....lol... Having traced my genealogy back to Cowal in Argyll I've always thought to learn the language, but haven't had the time until now. Glad I found yout chennel! :)
@@zodiacmansions I'm glad you're here! Argyll Gaelic is fascinating in that it still has some strong links to Irish Gaelic. Plus, some of their words for things are very interesting. A spider in Argyll Gaelic is a Figheadair, a weaver. :)
You write "an t-uisge" but you should ideally say/hear "a(n) duisge" or "an huisge" (Leodhasaich). Words ending in -n or -m affect the sound of the following b-, c-, d-, g-, p- and t- sounds :)
That's a useful point: learners will hear that as a T and also D or H depending on the dialect. Tapadh leat gu mòr.
Do you know if there's a generational difference in usage between the two?
Tha mi glè toilichte a-nis, mòran taing a charaid!
'S e do bheatha, a Philip! Tapadh leat airson coimhead. 🙂
The final sequence screamed enigma actually
Oh? How so?
@@GaelicwithJason Not in a bad way. It sounded more like unanswered questions know what I mean? Kind of like inconclusive. But not flawed at all. Together the video is brilliant.
@@murdockonrad Thank you very much. Hmmm. Who are these two people? What makes them tick? It's a mystery...
| love your approach to language teaching. It is exactly what a parent would teach a child.
But please, can we have a guide to the alphabet? I am lost otherwise.
Sure. What about the alphabet leaves you lost?
I'm not the main commenter but I would guess it would be things like silent letters and letter combos and things like s/sh sounds and g/gh sounds appearing in words that aren't spelt with S or G and how lenition changes the starts of words. Also as a learner in quite early stages people keep telling me that the spelling of words is quite rigid and easier than in English yet I haven't found any good guides yet to translate the spelling into the pronunciation. So maybe a video with the letters and letter combos along with their sounds to teach people how to sound out words like when you first start leaning to read.
@@BigMacsm245 That all makes sense. Some of those are tricky to explain with a pattern because there are either exceptions or no pattern at all.
They're best learned as they come up in whatever you're learning. At first, most sounds will be very different. After awhile, it'll just be second nature.
Thinking about the alphabet, that would be a lot of videos. Maybe 10-20 or more. As a teacher, I'd be wary of confusing anyone and also of learners trying to force themselves to make sounds that aren't in their minds yet. My advice is to learn the sounds by *listening.* Hear them spoken aloud a lot. Again and again. The online dictionary on learngaelic.scot is excellent for this. Plus, you'll be learning the sounds of multiple different letter combinations at once - far more efficiently than doing them one by one.
I have some videos lined up about the more drastic differences between Gaelic and English. Perhaps they will help.
Hàlo, Jason
ciamar a tha thu? A mi glè mhath after your lesson. But
what's exactly the translation for IRN BRU? Is it Bottle?
Thank you! And have a snog day!!!!!
Halò, a Sophie! Nice to see you on here.
Irn Bru is the name of a popular drink in Scotland. Kind of like how Fanta is big in Europe. Bottle is just botal. :)
Thank you! I hope your day was enjoyable and happy. Take care.
Botal mòr **glainne** de Irn Bru. Best ones. Brother loves them.
I will take your word for it. I'm not a fan personally. Does the glass bottle really make a difference? :)
Gaelic with Jason aye
@@masterworks7184 Noted. :)
Ciamar a tha sibh, Jason? Tha mi glè mhath! Tha a' ionnsachadh Gàidhlig oirbh. Mar sin leibh agus tapadh leibh.
Tha mi gu math, tapadh leat. Tha mi toilichte gu bheil thu gu math. :)
Tha mi toilichte cuideachd! Carson a tha mi toilichte, a Dheusain? Tha mi ag ithe dinnear an-dràsta, agus tha i CHO BLASTA, OH THA!
Mmmm, dìnnear. Is math sin!
So ' ceart gu leor' translates as 'correct enough' ? What I find difficult is that there seems to be no patterns that relate to English and word for word translation crash spectacularly
Yes, 'correct enough' or 'right enough'. It's also used to mean 'so,...' sometimes. 🙂 I admire how you see that going word-by-word doesn't work so well for Gaelic. All us non-Gaels start from square one and have few supports to help us along, like you point out. It certainly can be frustrating and discouraging. If you take it little by little, Gaelic will become more natural over time. But it does take time. 🙂
Hi Jason - why would you not say Ciamar a bheil Mairi ?instead of Ciamar a tha Mairi?
Heya, a Chairistiona. Nice to see you today. It's how the question words work. 'Càite' (where) would be the only one that uses a bheil/an robh/am bi/etc. Does that help?
So, following the example of omitting "mi" from "tha gu math," could one say "tha toilichte"?
Hmmm, I'm not 100% sure about that one. I can't remember the last time I heard that. "Tha gu math" is fairly widespread, though. 🙂
In Duolingo it says Tha an t-uisge ann means its raining. Does that literally mean there's the water? Confused 🤔😄
Yep, something like that. I usually translate it as "There is rain/water." It's hard to translate word-for-word but that phrase "Tha ____ ann" is really useful to talk about things being somewhere, ie: There's a store, there's a garden, there's a cat in the window, etc.
Wait I’m confused air means on and because?
Irish Gaeilge and Scottish Gaelic are so similar
i Know the sound the cht in toilichte makes but my mouth doesn't wanna do it ... it keeps coming it out as shtch instead of the proper ch and tch sound :( lol
That sound was hard for me as well. Over time, the small sounds within Gaelic words become easier and sharper. Just do what can be done now and keep moving forward. I admire your effort!
Take care, stay safe, and happy new year!
When do you use Tha gu vs tha mi?
Hi Kalina. Sorry to take awhile to get back to you. I moved house twice and then we had a bit of a covid scare. It's been a full few weeks for sure.
Is this with saying "I'm fine"? There's not much difference really. It would be like saying "I'm good" vs just "good" in English. One is more specific than the other. :)
Sibh is always plural in Irish, tu is always singular. The formal vs informal reminds me more of the French tu vous
Ah, that's quite interesting. 🙂 I wonder if that's due to more European influence on Scottish Gaelic vs Irish?
Did.. Did you say gle math Metallica??
strangely enough, pictures dont seem to help me as much with learning languages 🤔 like, yours are small and iconic enough but often if a language app adds images they either confuse me or distract me xD
Hmmm, I could see that. When you say picture, do you mean a picture of a cat for example?
Tha gu math!
Sgoinneil! :)
Carson how come math is preceded by gu at times and not at others?
Well spotted! Perhaps it helps to think of 'gu math' as 'well.' Like how we'd say "I'm doing well." Does that help?
@@GaelicwithJason Indeed, indeed. Thank you. What is gu by itself though I wonder. Is it considered to be a preposition, adverb or infinitive marker Jason?
@@murdockonrad. GU can be a preposition, meaning 'to'. It can also be the first part of an adverb: *gu* luath (quickly). :)
@@GaelicwithJason Gracious
@@murdockonrad My pleasure.
