It's very interesting how hill and breast are almost the same word or they're like a homonym. I grew up in America but I moved back to Ireland when I was fifteen. Not long after arriving, I came across a place with two similar sized hills that was called 'the paps of Anu'! Papps is another word for breasts, and Anu is synonymous with Danú, the goddess of earth and fertility. It was my first time hearing 'hills' referred to as breasts of the earth. 🌎 The word for people (in the plural) is 'daoine' which is pronounced dee-nee or dee-nuh which I thought was almost identical to one of the Algonquin words for people. I have some old books which were wrote on the Irish language by Charles Vallancey in the late 19th century, in one of the books he showed a few list of Irish words compared with Algonquin words and phrases, that were very similar. Like for instance he said an Algonquin word for water was : iske and in Irish: uisce (pronounced: ish-ka/ish-kuh). In Irish and many middle eastern language 'c' & 'g' are often interchangeable depending on region accents and c is hard, they don't use a k. The Irish have an affinity with N The Native People of America because we also had our culture suppressed by invaders or colonists. It got so bad, the English eventually outlawed the speaking of our own tongue. So, I think we can all stick it to 'the man' by studying, remembering, and never forgetting our own ancient languages. English is just the new kid on the block.😉 Thanks for sharing!
Such a wonderful class. Although I am worry that I'll try to tell about a hill and end up talking about someone's breasts. Thank you. The classes are well taught and brief enough not to be overwhelming. I can feel my Grandmother whenever I practice. I can't tell you what this means to me. Please, please make more!
I can't get enough of these old vids.
I hope you make more like them.

The Kyle it's a retroflex 'r' sound.... that's why it sounds like that.... it's like the ड़ in Hindi
Exactly; he pronounces his "r" as a retroflex flap
