    cad é mar atá tú a sheán, The Irish Government spend 100 million a year on the promotion of the Irish Language, but I don't know where they spend it, because there is very limited online resources worth talking about, your lessons are the best online by far, I think the future of the language relies on people like yourself.

    Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I’m a beginner using Duolingo...getting along fine but never realized that Tá and An bhfuil we’re part of the verb ‘to be’, for example. Your explanations hit the nail on the head Every Single Time. I teach EFL and use the same approach as you, so I understand everything you say. You are brilliant. You have consolidated and clarified everything I’ve learned in the past 6 months. I love the way you teach pronunciation as well.
    Please put more out there. You are a national Treasure!

    Seán Mór your explanation of the verb 'be' is brilliant. The chopail in particular can be very confusing, especially when knowing when to use it as opposed to the verb "bí". Also knowing when and how to use it to classify as opposed to using it to identify is also confusing. You do a great job making all that clear, disentangling any confusion. You do an amazing job explaining it that makes a lot of sense. I have seen experienced teachers struggle explaining this, leaving the student often none the wiser. Well done you.

      I'm learning Irish in an online class now as learning at the college here in London is suspended. Seán's videos help a lot. The only problem is, my course is teaching the Munster dialect and I'm learning Ulster with Seán!😀

  • @dmitrystarostin2814
    @dmitrystarostin2814 4 года назад +2

    'I'd be teaching every day' is subjunctive mood, but much like 'would', it might mean a habitual action, albeit in the past. So 'I be teaching' is understandable.

    Dia Duit Seán, thank you so much for your lessons. I am a native German Speaker and there are no classes to learn irish where i live. I have been trying to learn Irish through an App for almost a year with no great success. You teach so very well. Now the Word-Salad in my head makes sense. I did learn a lot of words with the app, but nothing beats a good teacher that knows exactly where you stumble.....

      Dont forget the fada very important........Lots of words in Irish have same spelling with the difference of the fada.. Example Éire- Ireland...Eire encumbered or burden. Mala -eyebrow, mála - bag..Lon- black bird lón_ lunch..Snamh - dislike snámh- swim, Doire- Derry dóire- burner, Briste- broken, bríste - pants or trousers, ban -woman, bán- white... That fada is very important
