Dia duit agus fáilte go Gaeilge i mo chroí! Hello and welcome to 'Irish in my heart' 😁
This is the first video on my new channel dedicated to spreading my passion for the Irish language and hopefully helping those who never got the chance to learn Irish, to learn some now. In this video you will learn how to say Hello, hello back, how are you, how to respond and a few other phrases to get you started with this beautiful language.

I'm in love with the Irish people. Something HAS to do be done to keep and grow the Irish language!!
Maybe if they decided to become a super power, maybe.
You could start now to save the Irish language by learning some phrases to impress your friends😎
@@awkward-stranger what phrases??
@@NirnaethMV How's it going, I am an American, where the toilet?
How much is this? Will you buy me a round trip ticket to Ireland?😊
@@awkward-stranger ahahhahaha niceee
14 year old American trying to learn Irish over quarantine. It hurts my brain, but these videos really help! Thanks!
Don't worry you will pick it up quickly
I’m over 50% Irish and I’m tryna learn it xd
Déjà Siku you said that your creating a language?

Hello, fellow 14 year old American learning Irish!
God bless Irish people.

Well my friend thank you for your kind words 👍

80% of Irish history in just four words.
And the 80% of world... greetings from Argentina ❤
I'm not Irish, but it would be a real shame for this language to die out. Only the Irish people can prevent this from happening. Stay strong
🇵🇹🇵🇹
That's not a Ireland flag
@@byebyee. yeah, why'd they post the Portuguese flag lol
@@Ghostrider-ul7xn You're pathetic. Twisted and broken liberal / cultural marxist mind in a nutshell... Imaging using buzz words, blaming people for wanting to preserve the language of their ancestors... wow..
@@frabblez3126 hes sending his regards from Portugal.
@@Ghostrider-ul7xn I sense imperialism in that comment. Ya wouldn't happen to be british would you?
I was born in Limerick named after Pearse and spoke Gaelic fluently, my family moved to Canada when I was 8 (I’m 18 now). But the plan for me at least has always been to go back home. I sadly lost my native tongue so thanks so much for making these videos they’ll be a great help!
Tá fáilte romhat! 💚 thank you for learning Irish
I really hope you learn you're native tongue again Le cabhair ó Dhia
First tip..... Gaeilge is Irish .... Gaelic Is Scottish, similar language because the Irish and Scots were Celts but both are different.
@@PaulMuzik dingle they say 'gaelic'
@@aineliamfionanora4 Then Dingle has a very Scottish influence, in Ulster we call it Gaeilge
Basically the British lol fair enough.
It's true lol
Lol
im going to said it in German english hard Ulster ist so ein großartiger Ort außer Sie wissen, wie die Briten sind dumm und verdient Hass ich meine, sie wirklich afrika wie ein Kind in einem Süßigkeiten-Shop und die Ozeanien Bereich oh und habe ich vergessen, buchstäblich alle Kolonien, die sie gehasst zu erwähnen scheint fischig scheint es nicht wie sie geplündert alles oder irgendetwas Husten Husten Sarkasmus
@@disappointedenglishman98 you're English what would you know about Irish history
@@disappointedenglishman98 If it is simply untrue why are there documents from public executions because people thst spoke it were at one time proclaimed to be rebels. If the English did not play a hand in it why would they kill people over it? Just because your countrymen chose to forget it after French and Saxon influences doesnt mean another country did.
I have been trying to learn the language of my ancestors for years. NO ONE else, person or app, breaks down the phonetic pronunciation the way you do here. BLESS YOU!
I love that. "Weeeellllll, the British"
🇦🇱❤️🇮🇪😍 Europeans brothers
I am from Eastern Europe and I have no blood relationship with Ireland in any way but I think it has such a cool history and culture so I want to learn the language!
Im german and i dont plan to learn irish but instead of doing my homework i follow the roots of the holy youtube algorithm
Hello , I am a native of Ireland .Thank you so much for your gift and sharing our language. it has always been a dream of mine to learn our language fluently. I feel it is so important for every culture to know and be connected to their native tongue. Go raibh Míle mo chara
I'm sure I am one of many Irish Americans who will become attached to this channel.
We just returned from Ireland, and the Irish language seemed far from "non-existent" to us. English may dominate, but we covered a lot of ground and everywhere we went, on the buses, in parks, at the college or in restaurants, someone was speaking Irish. It was a wonderful sound. The bilingual signage helps to reinforce it as the true native language of the country. I intend to learn it at least on some level, to honour both my family heritage and current efforts towards revitalization.
I wish the same for the unfortunate native american and australian .imagine how they feel reading this
I can't speak for America, but in Australia the issue for widespread revitalisation is that there are sooooooo many native languages. While, at least where I'm from, the local language is used a little (most people know 'wominjeka' as welcome), that is just Woi Wurrung Wurundjeri, one language specific to the area. Basically, it means most cities, regions, etc. will have their own language, perhaps multiple.
Still, even if they can't be adopted on a national scale, it is important to keep them alive and teach them in their regions of origin.
Great video!
May I make one small suggestion? You have a sweet voice, but the background music / sound (especially the “pop” effect) are sometimes MUCH louder than your voice. It would be very helpful to me (and perhaps other hearing-impaired people) if those effects were either dropped or made to be much quieter - I just want to hear YOU! :)
Whether you take my suggestion or not, please keep up the great work! Is maith liom é!
I totally agree. The music is MUCH too loud.
please don't include the music! We can't hear your beautiful Irish voice!
Yes, with headphones, that "pop" sound is a little much. Nice idea, just a little quieter, please.
Its so satisfying to see young people trying to keep alive their languages. Good job!
Im still struggling learning english just because its the "international" language bah! Every country should promote learning and using their original languages tbh
subscribing cause Gaelig always has been on my language's wish list to learn someday
I am of Irish decent but grew up in Australia
I have always wanted to learn the Irish language to connect with what the English has tried to disconnect us from our culture through language.
Same here. : ) Born and raised in the US. Even if it's not used much anymore I'd love to learn the native language and spend some time in the motherland.
Same. Born in canada @@Zihark_
Thank you so much. I am currently using Duolingo which is okay. I am Canadian. My grandfather was from Fermanagh. We never met but I love the language. The grammar however is really difficult for me. I will keep trying. I look forward to your next video.
I'm an American who's been learning Irish on my own for years. I finally broke through enough to be doing my Masters degree in Irish. I've had to accept that I'll never fully master it, but that eternal challenge and search for improvement is precisely why I love it so much. Your videos have helped me so much, go raibh míle maith agat!
Dia duit, Molly.
Gaeilge i mo chroí... I'm Ukrainian who grew up in a Russian-speaking environment, so I guess I know the feeling you've mentioned and I understand why you gave the channel this name.
I'm subscribing.
The Irish Government doesn't want the country to be Bilingual.Not sure why? but the Welsh and Basque languages are thriving.
The Irish Gov should be giving Irish courses for free like the Spanish,German, Quebec and other Governments do to help migrants integrate.Instead the only resources for learning Irish are ridiculously over priced courses which discourage people to learn it.They still persist with old outdated methods of teaching languages for some bizarre reason.
Who knows why but it just doesn't work.
Why don't they adopt more modern teaching methods?
Why don't they teach for fluency in schools?
There must be a reason...it's probably money!
It's no harder than any other European language and schools should be teaching that it's a cool unique and relevant language that predates Latin and develop a passion for it ,instead generations were told that it's an old fashioned,backward not useful language that's been forced on us.
No wonder kids and people don't want to learn it.
So annoying and frustrating.
Watching in Arizona 🌵🤠. I love hearing the Ulster dialect. Most Irish language videos seem to feature Connemara. Represent the north! ☘☘☘
Dave Brown yaaaay 😁 thank you for watching! Yes I love the Ulster dialect, it’s the best 😂😂💪🏻💚
@ Munster will have something to say about that
@Jeremy Dunfee Jeremy, Glad you're up for the challenge. From one beginner to another here's my advice: don't focus on dialects right now. Imagine a Chinese or German student learning English and worrying about whether to learn the New York or Texas dialect. Do I talk like Robert De Niro or Matthew McConaughey? 🤔🤣 To start your dialect will be "Stumbling Awkward Irish". Everything else will come in time.
As for landscapes & heritage, Ireland is so small the drive time between the farthest dialects is literally 2.5 hours. Learn Ulster at breakfast then Munster at dinner.
Lastly I have to make a point that nothing in Ireland is "pure". The culture is deep embedded mix of Scottish/Celtic, Nordic, Anglo, and much much more. There are more that a few kids running around with Polish-Irish accents these days. Just dive in and start swimming. ☘🇮🇪☘🇮🇪☘
@Jeremy Dunfee I've visited Ireland only twice and my Irish is Duolingo quality so I'm at my limit for helpful advice. I will highly highly recommend checking out the rap group Kneecap from Belfast. Some songs are 100% Irish while others are a mix of Irish & English (sometimes in the same line!). Videos are great craic too. ruclips.net/video/6l-CHhdFpHs/видео.html
I think Irish leaving cert students would beg to differ lol
I UNDESTOOD EVERY WORD YOU SAID TO MY SHOCK,IT JUST POPED BACK IN TO MY HEAD FR0M SCHOOL .GOG BLESS LOVELY GIRL
I am a 17 year old Irish-American and since my grandma was adopted as a baby we never had Irish spoken in the family and I want to dig up the roots of my Irish heritage and actually learn it. So being the Insomnia person I know I am up at 2:26 am learning Irish the best I can before I get tired for real
As am I. My name is Sean. And my great-grandmother came from Cork.
I love the intensity of the close-up when she said, "The British." :) There were like, 4000 years of history rolled up in just those two words. I'm African American, and yeah, I get it.
they destroyed the world and beautiful cultures, suppressed history
The British empire was one of the most evil regimes ever
Spoken from a half English half Irish man, the British army is one of the most glorious regimes in history.
@Little Lad nothing like boasting about the rich and glorious history of the Brits. more Germans died in Russia than all the allied troops together. And if its a world war were not not more countries involved?
@Little Lad _"History is written by the victors",_ or as Napoleon said, _"what is History but a set of lies agreed upon?",_ and this couldn't be more true when it comes to WWII. There's a LOT of false information about WWII that have been rigorously spread and maintained as _Official historical truth_ by the government, the media, the academies, to the point where if you dare to study and question these lies you are immediately targeted, censored, sent to jail, or worse. On the other hand many gruesome facts are carefully concealed from the public, erased or swept under the under rug. It's the role of today's historians, school teachers, media to maintain the propaganda and brainwashing of the public and keep them thinking "the British Empire saved the western world" like you typically said, "the National socialists were evil", "they wanted to conquer the world", etc. *Churchill starved to death 4 million Bengalis.* Did you know that? He bombed 500,000 German civilians *mostly women and children,* pouring upon them acidic phosphorous fire, causing a slow, torturing burning and suffocating death.
Yea my heritage is from Ireland and I'm trying to get into my Irish side
As someone who holds my country and culture above all else and want to learn the language of my people this helps exponentially thanks🇮🇪
Hello, I'm Irish descended American wanting to connect with my ancestry in what ways I can. Thank you for doing your part to preserve our shared heritage :)
Years ago, I spent some time in Tsaile, a Navajo town in Apache County, Arizona, desert land near Chelly Canyon. The Navajo inhabitants pronounce their town's name sail-ee, yet the similarity of its spelling to the Irish word "an tsáile," denoting a salt water area, or sea, is obvious. The town of Tsaile hosts the main campus of Diné College. Diné is the Navajo language name for "the people," the Navajo people, and when they would say the word, it sounded to me like the Irish word "daoine," also meaning "people." Curious! Maybe just coincidences, but the words can stir imaginings of ancient history. Yes, we must safeguard the languages, the vehicles of culture and cultural memory, and learn from them.
American authorities outlawed teaching native languages in government run reservation "schools" as part of the systematic extermination of native cultures. Now many tribes are embracing their languages and traditions and seeking elders who remember the old stories. Tir gan teangra, tir gan anam. What you are doing is important and is also a threat to authorities still intent on control of native people and their lands.
very true when i lived in northern Minnesota (USA) near Canadian border. prejudice and discrimination lived on. proud tribes and nations fighting to keep their culture and identity. was told as white man- learn where you are from. so trying to find more depth in my own Irish heritage.
That's very inspiring to hear about the native tribes of America. Here's to a future where these languages remain preserved. 🍻
@@fightinandirish Language is like a tree - as long as you keep the seed, it can grow again into a mighty living being - it just needs the will and skill of good teachers like you and students like us.
Every year, I set myself a challenge, at random. This year, it is to learn Tsalagi.
It has surprised two First Nation visitors to my island home, finding a Gael, learning a First Nation language, all the way across here. I say, why not? We are all the Creator’s children, whatever your beliefs, or lack thereof.
Usti tsi wo-ni tsalagi, now; improving slowly, day by day. I believe passionately that these languages should be saved, and allowed to proliferate, once more, before too much more of the knowledge and history is lost.
Now I am adding Gailge to my challenge, thanks to your channel.
Colonising and cruelty have caused far too much damage. No more.
Do-‘da-ga-g’hvi, tsu-na-li. / Gus an coinnich sinn a-rithist, mo charaidean.
My great-grandmother moved from Clonbur to Boston in the early 20th century. She didn't come back to visit until the late 1950s. Over that time, she had lost her Irish language skills, while her brother had never learned English. So a cousin had to translate for them. I was able to find and reconnect with my Irish family, and for my parents 50th wedding anniversary in 2015, we went over and met up with some, and then some more in a few following years. Two of these were fellows who were excellent in both Irish and English and because of this were able to do well in their civil service careers in Dublin, and both are now retired. I want to learn Irish, but worry about my ability to learn it, because languages are much easier to learn when you are young (especially before puberty).
Here's text for subtitle:
Dia duit, agus fáilte do Gaeilge i mo chroi.
You are probable wondering what I just said,
but don’t worry, we will get back to that in a second.
So as most of you probably know,
if you are Irish or you are living in Ireland or you visited Ireland,
That the use of the Irish language is pretty much non-existent.
We see Irish on signposts.
We hear it on public transport.
Sometimes you get the Irish translation of places that aren’t even in Irish.
For example, next station, copper and Kate’s Rinella.
Copper, I really don’t see the point of that.
And of course Irish is spoken in the Gaeltacht.
Gaeltacht just means Irish speaking area.
If you’re wondering why Irish people don’t speak irish anymore,
Well, basically, the British.
So the reason I’ve started this channel is because I have
No.1 I have a passion for learning the irish language.
No.2 I have met many people that have grown up in Ireland,
But they had hearned Irish at school can’t really remember a lot of it,
Or they never got the chance to learn Irish and they would love to speak it.
In the words of Patrick Pearse: ”Tir gan teanga, tir gan anam.”
Just as a disclaimer I was from Donegal,
So I learned Alstive Irish
So in Ireland there are a few different dialects of Irish,
But I think it’s okay just for basic conversational Irish,
like some my pronunciations will be different to people
who speak Irish in Dublin or Galway.
Anyway, let’s learn Irish.
So when I started this video I said “Dia duit”
“Dia duit” is how we say “hello” in Irish.
So you’re probably thinking that sounds like two words.
Well because it is.
“Dia” means “God”
And “duit” means,
In this context it means with you.
Dia duit is kind of like “God be with you”
Or “God be over you”.
And the reason for the religious aspect of that is because
Ireland was always a very religious country.
We did start off as pagans,
But then when Catholicism came in,
It became a very religious country.
So that influenced our language in some ways.
So you’ve learned your first word in Irish.
A lot of you might have already known that if you are Irish.
So “Dia duit” means “hello”.
You don’t say “Dia duit” back.
You say “Dia is Muire duit”.
Going slower that is “Dia is Muire duit”.
And that means “God and Mary be with you”.
I think it’s quite nice.
I don’t know there’s just something nice about like
An old tradition like that my language.
Conas atá tú.
There’s a few variations I was brought up.
I’m using “conas atá tú”
That’s what I would say
But they’re widely recognised in Ireland
With different ways to say it
So it doesn’t matter what part of the country you’re from
If you say “conas atá tú”, people who speak Irish will understand you.
Tá mé go maith.
In most cases in Irish,
when you want to start a sentence with “I am”,
you would say “tá mé”.
But that can change depending on the context of the situation.
“Tá mé go hiontach”, which literally means
“I’m wonderful”, “I’m in tastic”, “I’m great”.
And then if you want to say “I’m not good”,
You would say “Níl mé go maith”
You want to say “awful” - “Úafasach”.
So that a kind of difficult
Úafasach
So those are a few of the basic ways
that you can respond `to “how are you”.
We’ll get more into detail of
How you can describe how you’re feeling.
I’m moving on then to a few basic phrases.
So you had say hello, then I said a little back.
Say how are you, and you response of that.
It’s three words. You say “le do thoill”
Say thank you, you use four words “go raibh maith agat”
So at the start of this video I said,
Remember “Dia duit”, and “fáilte romhat Gaeilge mo chroí”
“Fáilte romhat” is welcome to,
But if you’re gonna say to somebody you’re welcome,
Like somebody say “go raibh maith agat”,
And you want to say “you’re welcome”,
You would say “tá fáilte romhat”.
My last llittle phrase I’m going to teach you is
How to say goodbye.
You can use one word just say “Slán”,
Or two words “Slán leat”
The last thing I have to explain is what is my channel called.
So, my channel is called “Gaeilge I mo Chroí”.
And what does that mean? That mean Irish in my heart.
“Gaeilge” is “Irish”, “i” is “in”, “mo” “my”, “chroí” “heart”.
The reason why I’ve called my channel that is
Because I feel like sort of I speak English,
And that’s the language I was grown up with.
But any time I speak Irish,
I feel like it’s something like in here,
Like it’s something close to my heart.
I love the language, I feel very confident when I’m speaking it.
It jsut feels right, and I want you to feel the same way.
So if you’ve enjoyed this video,
And you would like to learn more about
how to hold a comversation,
we’ve done the basics how to starting a conversation.
I’m going to be covering all of it in videos on this channel.
So if you have any suggestions about Irish that you’d like to learn,
Please leave the comment below, and I’ll try my best.
In the meantime, head over to my Instagram and give it a follow,
I’ll be posting daily with little Irihs phrases and sayings,
Because I truly believe that if you’re learning a language,
Then you need to be learning it every day,
Speaking it a little bit every day,
Or learning something new consistency is a key,
When you’re learning a language.
Thank you so much for watching.
Agus, slán leat.
Tell me why I never new Irish was a language 😭😭 I thought they just spoke English in Ireland and had the accent 🤦🏻♀️
Irish has become a minority language, but is still an official language of the state, so you'll find public signage to be bilingual
Many Irish Americans are learning Irish as a way to support our Irish Cousins in the quest for
yearning for a United Ireland under one Irish Government with one Flag and one Language.
We are "Some have come from a Land beyond the Waves" and are completely horrified by
what cruel England has done to our Irish Cousins.
I am related to Philip Clarke the Irish Martyr that was murdered by the English in 1916.
Funny that, when the Ukrainians cause world war 3 for trying to stop ethnic Russians having their own identity in their own land the Irish give the ukrainians who are attacking them free houses, benefits and probably now citizenship too! What do you support? The right of people to live peacefully on their own land or support of the people that try to kick them out (northern Ireland anyone?)
@@jameslewinsky4234 how did those ‘ethnic russians’ arrive in Ukraine in the first place? Genuinely curious
@@michaelreddington1234 just propaganda. I wouldn't even acknowledge him .
Wow bless you hope you teach many to re-learn Irish!
I became interested in learning Irish because I learned about how the British would keep tally sticks for Irish students and issue corporal punishment for each time a student uses an Irish word. I didn’t ever know my great grandfather and grandmother, but I felt an intense political obligation to learn the language for them. They were from Donegal, so I feel so glad to learn from someone who speaks the way that they spoke. Go raibh maith agat.

Irish should be brought back into regular educational and official use in its own country - Ireland. Many in multilingual countries are struggling to keep their language relevant. The UN should bring up with some kind of arrangement in multilingual countries to protect minorities languages and culture from obliteration.
The last time I heard Gaelic spoken fluidly was from my Great Uncle in Pollagh, Newtowncashel. When I was but a wee bairn. Sat in the cottage in front of him next to the peat fire as he told me tales of Irish folklore and Legend, sadly did not understand a word of it. My Auntie told me bits of what old Pat was saying. Beautiful lyrical language I will never forget.
the single weirdest comment section i've ever seen...
Yes, it's a variety of wholesome, cringe, and outright deranged.

Please stop the background music, it is quite difficult to understand the exact pronounciation. Thanks
I am Australian and my Irish ancestors came here in the 1840s. They spoke Irish fluently and even my grandmother used to speak it a fair bit, they just refused to let go of it. She had alzheimers now and any hope of her teaching me (i’m 20) seem lost, so i’ve come here. Hopefully i will learn it and be able to teach my children when i have them, too.
Your not Australian do you speak Australian ,i wager nay
im iranian my native language is farsi and im in loooooove with irish language.such a beautiful language
Im half irish half tunisian and grew up in england. I've always had fond memories of visiting my grandad in ireland, and wanted to learn the language, since im a teenager the earlier the better!
Weirdly enough as i started learning I felt that I had been missing something, and now I am whole again.
I am really grateful for your videos for teaching me irish!!!
Lots of love!! Dia duit!! ❤
I'm only of Irish descent, but I'm overjoyed to have found your channel.
My grandfather effectively stopped the use of Irish in our family when he raised my father and aunts in English, my father despised the language in school and thus never taught me (I was born in Germany so learning it in school was never an option). I’d love to be able to speak the language my great grandfather went to such great lengths to preserve (ironic considering what my grandad and dad did then lol), all the better then that you speak Ulster Irish since my grandfather, the last native speaker in my family, is from Monaghan!
🖤👏🏼
I was told the same story my mothers grandmother would slap them with a cane fir speaking english and the nuns caned them for not speaking irish well enough ,she and her siblings hated irish .connaught irish now

I am from Egypt I love Ireland 🇮🇪 Irish people must learn the real Irish language not the English language Ireland must defeat the English by returning back to Irish roots in language and in the culture roots Ireland must not feel weak in front of the English language and in everything else because the Irish people are very strong civilisation and we in Egypt believe in the strength of Ireland and we are sure that in the end the victory will be to Ireland but Irish people must believe in thereself s that they can win against England if they united everyone begins with himself I am sorry because I don't speak English good enough I hated but I have to speak it in my job but my first my own language is Arabic. God bless Ireland 🇮🇪 and protect it from any evil

So cool my grandpa is from county Sligo. He's passed now and I'm all the way Californian dude . But like you my heart yearns for Ireland I guess because it's blood runs thru me 24/7 . I feel like I've lived in a time passed there and it was wonderful and beautiful and I was happy there for so many days. A far cry from living here in California my whole life. Or I could just be crazy. But I don't think so. I have dreams that are so vivid . But really I just wanted to say thank you. Your easy on the ears . You have a beautiful voice and just a beautiful way of being. From my heart to yours. Keep up the good deed.
As a Maori with Irish background this is super cool!!!! I hope the Gaelic language has a huge come back, like what im seeing with Maori today!
Aroha from Aotearoa, kia kaha!
I have a question for you, if you don’t mind?
As a Maori, do you take the NZ flag as your own or do you see it as a “something other” that is imposed on you/NZ in general?
@@Inquisitor_Vex you should be asking a aboriginal person about that
@@user-mz8ib7oi4c I would if I met any. I am interested in the Maori perspective too though.
@@Inquisitor_Vex Hey bro! Sorry for the late reply. So the Maori have our own flag that you will see around NZ if you ever come over. What I don't like about the current flag is 1. How similar it is to Australia. 2. It looks straight up shit, like if the Welsh can have a dragon. Why can't we have something cool to?? I'd be keen to see some Maori mythology on the flag. 3. That Union Jack can fuck off hahahaha, we're not a colony anymore so why are we still representing that shit, yes it's a part of our history but that doesn't mean we have to represent it on our flag.
Any ways hope this answered ya question!
@@user-mz8ib7oi4c We prefer to be call Maori thank you very much.

i looooove it nice i lived for 15 years in ireland all over the place and actually never bother with it but recently i start to homesicking ireland and missing a lot so i start to learn irish you great thank you with love from russia
Creo que ya se deberian plantear quitar el inglés como idoma oficial en Irlanda. Si el propio estado irlandes promueve el idoma colonial poco se puede hacer

Is the pronunciation of Dia duit a regional thing? I'm from Cork and I remember it as "deea gwit", but then I haven't spoken Irish in 25+ years.
Yes it differs 😊
I'm from Ohio in the USA. My family has an Irish/Scottish heritage, my wife and I went on our honeymoon in Ireland. I really would love to learn Irish, and am glad to have discovered this channel.
Thanks!
I'm from Ohio as well. Maybe we can start a Gaeltacht here 🤣
@@bryanholmes3935 that sounds like a good goal to work toward. Hahah
@@erock5b maybe a Pop-Up Gaeltacht. I'm near Cincinnati and work in Columbus, so if you are close to either of those cities, maybe we can find a way to get other people interested.
They should simply bring back irish langage to the schools as default language, and just learn the english as second/international language, nowadays it works like that in the most of the european schools. The language is the most important at a nation’s identity.
Great recommendation. However Westminster is still in charge over here (by subversion of the legal, media and political systems). I lived in England for 15 years and if you ask almost any English person (with the best will in the world) they will tell you the Irish are no longer considered immigrants even if they were born are raised in Ireland but they are actually English, the Irish accent seems to be considered just another regional English accent. Hence the reason I started using my Irish name, now almost nobody including the majority of Irish can pounce it.
@@SeosamhMacUaid Sure, the irish people should want their own language first. In switzerland they started use their own dialect in the media, school, etc - and nowadays they use mostly as primary languge/dialect over the standard german. I think the standardizing of the more irish dialects would be also important in the commonly used channels. It would be a big loss for the irish culture, if they do not use their own traditional language anymore.
@@SeosamhMacUaid For those viewers who don't know, could you clarify what you mean by 'over here'? I'm in RoI and Westminster is definitely not still in charge here. Also I'm curious why using your Irish name is a good idea if not even Irish people can pronounce it! What is the point then?
@@2learn4ever over here means the island of Ireland (ROI + NI). You think Westminster isnt in charge because you dont know the truth. The first thing is that the *The Republic of Ireland Act 1948* is indirectly an Act of Westminster under *The Government of Ireland Act 1920* this is when Home Rule happened.
The Irish legal system is Common Law, if you know anything about law it means that our legal system is subject to laws and judgements and decisions in the UK.
Look I could spend my evening going into all of this but it wont change most peoples mind because they believe what they believe.
I use my Irish name because that is my name, why should I not use the name given to me by my parents? Irish people cant pronounce it because they dont know their own language which was made illegal by the Westminster, they have done the same in many parts of the world not least of all Hong-Kong, Malaysia etc.
The Irish government are not for the Irish people they are corrupt dirt bags the same as Westminster. FF, FG SF all corrupt and out for themselves.
I’m Irish and I don’t know much about my culture, so thank you!
Alternative title: how to speak enchantment table
Did you know there are people speaking gaëlic in Cape Briton Nova Scotia, they have a gaëlic college...💚
I am simple Pole and English language was somehow super easy to learn for me. Maybe because I've started when I was about 5-6. In Polish schools they teach you americanised english which is still better than nothing, right? Now I live in UK and I want to learn Irish and Welsh. Somehow those languages feel to me like they have "soul". Maybe because Ireland/Wales somehow remind me of Poland (land) also history (neighbour country oppression). English feels more like euro currency in germanistan union. I will try to stick to your vids and we'll see how it goes ;)
Apparently English is really easy to learn and Polish (and Welsh btw) is really hard so it probably did seem super easy for you!
How’re you getting on?

Me over the weekend with nothing to do: hmm..... I should learn irish! *types how to speak irish into youtube*

I'm from NI and was never taught irish in school. I don't know why cause I have an Irish passport and can't even read it.
I'm a Brazilian and I find you guys' culture, history, everything fascinanting. ☘️
Thank you :-) 🇮🇪🇧🇷
I have never seen a sober irish peson, this is the first time
Se você quiser aprender um pouco ou falar sobre a história / cultura irlandesa-brasileira falo português mas faz tempo.

im half irish but i grew up in england, and so ive been trying my best to teach myself the language so i can connect more with my family and heritage. Thank you for making these videos, they are a great help!

I am very keen to learn my beautiful language. Go raibh Maith agat.
I am visiting Ireland this July. Any conversational phrases would be great to learn.
That's nice. But like she stated unfortunately ireland doesn't really speak irish. They do but don't. It's a dying language but is slowing being saved.

@@kasybasket5980did you really need to say that?
Say pog mo thoin and stoptar suas they’ll love you! :)
I love the fact that you have such a passion for the Irish language. I watch your videos to learn how to speak Irish, unfortunately beyond watching your videos i don't get enough practice speaking it. I believe the only way to learn a language is to emerse yourself in it. If you can't find people in Ireland who speak Irish think about how much more difficult it is to find people here in the United States who speak it.
Are there Irish Clubs near where you abide?
If you can trace a gaa club you'll find gaelic speakers more like, because a lot of irish have emigrated to the us...but you would only find the clubs in the big cities in the N.E. of the US.
After years of loving Ireland, I finally decided to give it a go and learn Irish. Thank you for your channel! Let's see how it goes!
Coming from an irish person. This is good. But why arnt u pronouncing the letters longer when they have it like á. Like instead of saying Slán as (sl-a-n) it would be (sl-aw-n)
The síneadh fada is different in Ulster
@ ohh, ok
@ Too true. Grew up in Ulster, heard that all the time.
What if you can save the Irish language with filmmaking and music? Filmmakers in Ireland can make films only spoken in Irish, not a word of English at all. Or maybe your classmates can make their own independent films only spoken in Irish, with great stories to tell. Or maybe the shows on your local channels should speak Irish instead of English or translate international shows/cartoons in Irish.
Maybe there can be mainstream songs only sung in Irish. In pop, rock, country, and electronic on Irish languages albums.
That can really enforce the language in a good way. You could be the one to make that happen. Think about it.
I just hate to see the language go extinct, that's all.
Jed Hawkins completely agree more relevant, current and interesting ways to enforce the language could be introduced. I would love to make some films in Irish it’s just hard to find other filmmakers who have remembered enough of their Irish to do that. Check out TG4.ie for Irish media 😊
@ Well you can get some people together, like your friends, especially a language teacher. Or have a word with the Irish government.
Independent films are the key. You can redefine the Irish film industry with Irish-language films.
It will happen.
What films exist in the Irish language?
@@claraloy7753 There's an Irish language film festival that just started on what I've heard. Indie films.
I'm looking for more ways to relearn the Irish language as I struggled with it in secondary school. It's just poorly taught in our educational system. Also Cartoon Saloon have a wonderful animated short film over a decade ago spoken in as gaeilge and a few Irish language graphic novels on the stories of Fionn mac Cumhaill, St Patrick and a few more. I certainly will try and find a way to incorporate it into my final year college short animation but I need to brush up more on the language first. I never understood why the government show a serious lack of interest in properly perseving the language and new ways to bring it into every day life for the Irish, I would love that.
I'm an Englishman who has moved to Kerry, while not many speak Irish around me ill be using Irish Please, thank yous, hellos casually as i learn the language. Such a beautiful and ancient language should be preserved. Ireland is relatively untouched compared to the rest of Europe so i feel as though some of the culture here must be ancient. History is cool, and important, and some of history is stored in language, Lets not lose it.
My dad was Irish, and he passed away a few years ago so I'm trying to learn it
Hello, I am a Spanish guy who moved into Ireland son months ago. I am keen to learn Irish I think we should keep this language alive. I already can say: Éire i mo chroí
Conas ata tu? Sounds like: Como estas tu? in spanish
Fairly high chance at least of a portion of the populations that settled Ireland were Celts from Iberia. Not saying that's really the connection, as Spanish is Latinized, but ya know. Indo-European group languages all have some similarities.
I’m a irish pagan. How would I say hello? 💔
i've read that "Mora duit" is an ok non-religious greeting.
@@AquaswanOfficial 💛💛💛
My grandparents used to speak the old tongue but my mother didn't care to teach me any. I will be watching to learn whatever I can.
My great grandmother came from Cork County. And I always wanted to learn Gaelic to honor her.
Cape clear island, lovely place.
Fascinating, as a welsh man I was looking for similarities, but so far it’s totally different!
because it's from the brythonic tree of celtic languages, not the goidolic
Visiting Ireland at the moment and wanna learn a few Irish words so I can be more familiar with the country.
I've seen gaellic everywhere and I stroke me how similar it is to portuguese. In this video I got the same feeling, for example:
How are you? In Portuguese we say "Como estás tu?"
I guess it may be because we were a Celtic nation once, and traded extensively with the Irish Celts, but I'm no expert.
Thank you for the video
I think it’s only the tu that’s similar, Cad é mar ata tú
Connas ata tu Filipe! There’s a lot of good content on Gaelige on RUclips. Enjoy Ireland..Lucky you 🇮🇪 😎
In Scots Gaidhlig, it’s “Ciamar a tha thu?” or “Ciamar a tha sibh?” (“Kimar a ha oo” & “Kimar a ha shiv”).
Unless you’re from Barra (as I am), that is, in which case it’s “Dè mar a tha sibh?” (“Jih - usually pronounced as Jay, but not here - marr a ha shiv?”)
To further confuse things, the “r” at the end of some words - such as “Ciamar” - is pronounced without the rolling burred “rrrrrr”, and instead the tongue is placed behind the bottom teeth, to make a hard “th” sound.
Weird, I know. Regional variations, and all that. Still, I’m amazed at how close a lot of the two languages are, not just in construction. The pronunciation has changed markedly, but that’s only natural, looking at the time and the distance between the two regions, but the construction and basic words are terribly (“uabhasach”, pronounced “oo-ah-vah-sakh”) similar. See what I mean?
Biodh latha math agad, ge bith an ann am Breatainn, Èirinn no Portagal. Le deagh dhùrachd à Alba!
I've been working on it for a year though Duolingo, which is robotic, these videos are very helpful.
I grew up listening to Irish music, hearing and reading stories and myths from Ireland but was never able to learn the language even though it's my heritage, and learning it's basically a dead language was super sad, so I'm hyped about you doing this and hope to become fluent one day!
Currently learning Gaeilge via Duolingo and the accent is definitely different but it seems like it's the same type of difference between a New England American English accent and a Southern American English accent.
I’m Northern Irish, and wanted to learn it, ty for this!
I’m the same, I gave up Irish because my teacher wasn’t very good unfortunately, but I want to learn a least a little myself. I’ve forgotten everything already.

In 2014 I did a solo trip to Ireland as I drove around Cty.Clare I notice the street signs in Gaelic I thought this was great I knew the Irish spoke a Native Language and I though not Irish would like to see this heritage continue on , I'll never forget my time here or the people who were so kind to me. Ireland Forever.
