Let me know how it goes! I taught Spanish for over 30 years, but my niece asked me which program to use for her daughter, and I laughed because we aren't familiar with any of them. She thought she would go with bubble. So I'm curious to see how you do with it
@Donovan Foto I'm responding to "learn it in 3 weeks". What you did and what I have done with several languages is not comparable to "self taught language in 3 weeks".
Why am I crying?!! When you said they were all joking in Irish and laughing in a place that exclusively speaks the language & celebrates it so wonderfully, I couldn't help thinking to myself "what a great fuck you to those that tried to tried to erase it".

Thanks a million for your kind words.

You're crying because if you're Irish at all, you're a sap! LOL. Let me explain. My mom's father was second generation Irish and he drank like a fish AND cried all the time--had the depression big time, passed it on to my mother and her sisters, passed it on to his grandchildren. God, we allll cry at sentimental movies, plays, books, music, etc. We all love to read and have fun with the English language. And we're great friends to have but we all cry at the drop of a hat. And laugh. And f*ck. And swear. And all the great things that the Irish folks do. 😂❤❤❤
I live in Boston area, our former mayor Marty Walsh was the son of Irish immigrants who spoke Irish as their first language. Marty grew up speaking Irish at home. Unusual in America for sure but imagine the surprise when he visited Ireland on official business and spoke Irish. His parents came from Connemara and he has family there, Rosmuc and Carna. Now he is Labor secretary In President Biden administration. My ancestors came from Ireland, I love to hear the language spoken.
You have rossaveil, carraroe, lettermore, than rosmuc and carna are like two close towns where if you cross the road you can be in either of. I know I'll get replies saying this and that is a town on the way to carna from carraroe etc anyway the point is Marty Walshs family are most likey inbredds lol
An fhadhb is mó, nuair a thosaigh mise an Gaeilge a fhoghlaim (ag 4 bhl) sa scoil na múinteoirí ab éafactúla ba iad an bata agus bagairt. Ní haon ionadh é go raibh fuath ag na daltaí roimh an teanga. Bhí an t-adh agam mar roimh tosú ar scoil d'fhoghlaim mé roinnt Ghaeilge sa bhaile ag glún mo mháthair. Mar sin ba éasca dhom an scéal. The greatest problem when I started school at 4 yrs was that the most efficient teachers were the stick and threats. Is it any wonder that pupils grew to hate the language. I was lucky that before I started school I learnt some Irish at my mother's knee. That made it easy for me. I developed no antagonism towards the language.
I wish I had any Irish, but my family doesn’t know more than just a few words. Granda had a bit of it, but he died when I was 7. The o’malleys have only been in America for 3 generations. I think the rest of us are still around mayo and wexford but only my aunt knows them. Every time somebody tells me “you don’t have culture” I just wanna continue learning Irish, for the spite of it. And my mother says there’s nothing more Irish than spite 😂
Immersion is the key to any language. Find a partner and practice everyday. I live in Brooklyn and there are many Irish Bars where Irish is spoken. Go n-eiri leat (good luck) !
@@keysofperception4377 we may be. There was, at last count, one about a thousand of us in the US. Of that group, I'm related to probably 20. my grandpa was the youngest of seven, and there was a ten year gap between him and his brother that had sons. My dad was the only son of his family. I think there's a Michael in that line, but I'd have to check. Swedes, unlike the Irish side of my family, aren't known for their ability or desire to communicate. 😂
My grandfather spoke no Irish, as the area of Ireland he was from had a British garrison, so the language was heavily suppressed. My father can speak moderate Irish (from what he learned at school). I will continue learning Irish until I am completely fluent and will speak it with my (future) children at home. Cafes like this one are important.
I love that you love your language. Although I appreciate the subtitles, I really love you speaking Irish. Be proud and never be embarrassed. Blessings.
This is just amazing! This kind of business is what could help in preserving the Irish language. As long as you have businesses where the language is spoken, more people will like to go there in order to practice the language, thus creating a community of individuals who can live by using only Irish.
I live in a small-ish city in western Canada, where many people don't even know gaeilge exists. The only person I can talk to is myself, but I'd love to visit this spot next time I'm in Dublin! Listening to you speak it is super inspiring and is music to my ears. Don't be embarrassed about speaking such a beautiful ancient language- as I'm sure you well know, is fearr gaeilge briste, na bearla cliste haha
Níl mé cinnte faoi do cumas Gaeilge ach freagróidh mé tú as Gaeilge ar aon nós. Ba chóir duit chun freastal na Gaeltachtaí san iarthar na tíre, déarfainn go bhfuil níos mó deiseanna Gaeilge a labhairt ná aon áit eile in Éirinn, tá siúl agam gur féidir liom dul go dtí na gaeltachtaí an tSamhraidh seo mar tá ceantar áileann é ar fad
Thankyou so much for making gaelic content. I'm learning at the moment (both Irish & Scottish varieties) and being able to watch regular content in it, from a normal person, chatting about their life, makes such a difference to me. Can't wait for the next one!
I was in a Nova Scotia, a few years ago (a Canadian province). I was amazed when I drove to the northern area of this province, 'Cape Breton', not only are all government signs in Scots-gaelic and english, I met more than a few fluent speakers and visit the local gaelic language college. I would consider myself a mid-level Irish speaker and could follow along just fine, speaking with Canadian gaelic speakers. There's several documentaries on this well surviving language in east Canada
I agree with you, all Gaelic languages are beautiful and should be preserved.... side note, the language she is speaking is actually called "Irish" (but it is from the Gaelic Language Family, like Manx 🙂)
@@internetual7350 Yes, it is. Certainly in the genitive case. I'm not sure about the nominative case, might be Gaeilig. It's Gaeilge in all cases in Connemara. Apparently it was "Gaeigle" in East Galway, in Menlo. There are native speakers speaking Irish from East of the Corrib if you type it into RUclips.
its good to hear that even you feel embarrassed and lack confidence when speaking Gaeilge ... it reminds me to try to catch myself feeling that way and not let it stop me from trying x i hope to be able to speak as well as you one day
That was incredible. That beautiful tounge,totally bereft of Roman/Latin influences,it is magical to hear. Truly,this was a wonderful gift to recieve,please do more videos in this magnificent language ❤️
That's not true, there a lot of loan words from Latin to Irish like póg from the kiss of peace pax in the Catholic Latin Mass. The Celtic languages were closely related to Italic languages.
I love this! So cool to see this. Are there many of these types of 'Irish-language-only' places? My linguistics students love learning about the revitalization of Irish, and many have said that places like this would go a long way to continue its revitalization--I agree!
There are but you kind of need to know how to find them and keep up with the latest, this one has been open for a year or two now before I even found out about it!
@@donovanfoto3263Does anyone know why no-one in Ireland has tried to do a dual-language education thing? A language needs a world to inhabit (Why do you think a philologist created the greatest fantasy story of all time?). It will be a massive effort but someone needs a 50 year plan to start converting educational material and media into Gaeilgel, I like the children's channel. One criticism I do have in all this is that it seems that Ireland is trying to grasp at their language as if it is straw (They know they should have it but do not understand why.).
I think it's absolutely wonderful that you're doing this. So many languages around the world are no longer spoken and are basically "dead" because of colonialism. It always makes me happy to see people actively trying to keep their indigenous languages alive!
Would love to see you go back with Ciara, I remember her speaking Irish to John's girlfriend (I'm sorry don't remember her name) in a Try video. Really neat to have a spot in Dublin where irish speakers can go and feel at home speaking their language. It's so important to use it or it dissappears. I was fluent in Spanish once upon a time, now I'm so rusty as I don't use it and I can relate to that feeling of embarrassment trying to speak when you don't feel confident. Love that you post videos in irish with subs!
I'm American and finally going on the trip to Ireland I've been planning for 5 years. I've been "learning" Irish on Duolingo but can't wait to sit in this cafe and hear it spoken...thank you for sharing this 💜
@@donovanfoto3263 Spending the first few days in Dublin, but then most of the rest of the trip will be in the country in counties Clare, Kerry, and Cork.
305 days on Irish Duolingo so far... Ba mhaith liom dul go dtí an gcaifé seo. I would be nervous to speak Irish there publicly as well but if I were to choose anywhere to try for the first time it would be a place like this. It might make some people's heads turn to hear Irish coming from a Canadian voice which I can't lie, would be highly entertaining even if I wasn't always correct in speaking Irish. Here's what I realized as a Canadian Irish learner. Canadians say "eh" a lot, often at the end of a sentence or question. It's almost instinctive for us to do it but in Irish the "eh" sound is actually a word which would throw off anything you're saying in Irish. Funny that, eh? lol
@@BadDubII I usually spend about 20 minutes to an hour a day doing exercises on Duolingo and it does take time to memorize words and meanings etc especially when literally no one around you speaks Irish. I find the repitition on Duolingo does help but I still have a feeling the moment I'll try to actually say something out loud in Irish my mind will go blank lol Whether it's true or not I just keep reminding myself Is fearr Gaeilge bhriste ná Béarla cliste 😀
One side-effect of Irish being a minority language is that a lot of its speakers are non-native, so I wouldn't worry about sounding different. Of course, you shouldn't be sounding *too* Canadian when you speak Irish, but I'm sure you know what I mean.
@@anglaismoyen Oh I definitely know what you mean for sure but I also wouldn't necessarily want to 'put on' an Irish accent outside of trying to pronounce words and sentences properly. I wouldn't want to sound cartoonish if that makes sense.
@drew-gf4ng Duolingo is good for vocab because it'recycles' it a lot however I've noticed it puts a lot of emphasis on the present simple tense which is used very little in real spoken Irish so I wouldn't take it as gospel.
I'm an American and naturally a native English speaker. I am proud of our language in all its variety. But I am also glad that folks in Ireland are keeping alive their language which is the oldest literary language in Northern Europe. It truly is a window into the iron age, pre Roman conquests Europe. Thank you all.
@@albionmyl7735 American English is a variant of English - it’s not a separate language - an American and an English person can chat together no problem
Conas tá tú? Is Meiriceánach mé. Switching to American English...I have been trying to teach my daughter(now 16) Irish for the past ten years or so, and I can find her in a crowd by shouting " Gabh mo leithscéal!" And it is partly because of you. I found your channel, you were asking Irish folks if they spoke Irish, and seeing their responses...and we have been tuning into your crazy antics ever since! We know Alex and Millie(sp?), and have laughed and participated in your lives for years now. And I just wanted to thank you! And the trepidation you felt in this video was endearing and inspiring, because we know your charming brilliance! May you continue to inspire! Merci beaucoup! Keep Alex guessing..!❤️
Tá sé sin go h-iontach! Fabulous to see an Irish-speaking café. I love Irish and am one the the lucky few who seemed to enjoy it in school, but I don’t get much chance to speak it except with one of my aunts. I live in Wales and speak more Welsh than Irish. When I go home next I’ll definitely try to call in here, instead of flying through Dublin and out the other side. Go raibh míle maith agat!
It's so good to know that Irish is making a comeback and is becoming more widely spoken again! I'm studying on my own in the US, and barely scratching the surface.
Love hearing you speak Gaelic. Such an interesting language. Must keep trying to learn on my phone. Going to Ireland in a couple of weeks for 3 and a half weeks. Can't wait. Dreamt of going since I was a child.
I enjoy you being able to giggle at yourself. There are several languages that sound wonderful to me. However having majorly of my family from Newfoundland. Irish is just the nicest sounding one. I also enjoy the fact your planning on getting Alex back a bit. While in France 🎉😂 Be safe you 2 (Milli too)
I'm russian and I was interested about Irish,found that channel and I'm impressed.Please save Irish language, it sounds amazing,my ears are in euphoria 💔
I love this. Would love it even more with Irish subtitles in addition to the English (maybe both?) :D (I'm a patreon supporter). I would love to see more of this - either you just talking Irish about things, or having a chat with folks just casual like, since I'm not able to get a lot of exposure to those things here i gCalifornia. Go raibh maith agat!
Good for you, Clare! Getting out there and trying (no pun intended) to stay current in your grasp of languages. I have lived in a few different countries and traveled to a far many more, however, my confidence wanes when I try to converse in the local language of where I am. And once you do become passable at one, it may fade with the lack of use...such as my Italian. With a few exceptions, I find that decent people will help you - even cheer for your poorest attempt - to speak with them in their native language. After all, we are pretty much a social species and communicating is so vital to that. Great vid!
Yes, VERY intimidating! I'm American, and learned a tiny bit of Irish decades ago; Probably around 1990 near Boston in the US, an old man came up to me at a fast food place asking cén chaoi a bhfuil tú?? (I had something written at the bottom of my punk rock leather jacket)... I was so taken aback, I froze, answering curtly in English... It's So Hard! I felt so bad and embarrassed! I went up to him later, he was from Sligo...
@@zeo1087 It was a quote from the Lady Gregory version of the Cú Chulain stories, something that translated like "I swear by the oath of my people..." etc, etc.
Hey Clisare. May i say how wonderful it was hearing you speak Irish, other than English with an accent of course, lol! :) Please don't take offence to that, i know the English and Irish have had a past which hasn't always been good but i'm half Irish myself, does that help my case?, lol! Anyway... I never got to hear my grandfather who was Irish because i was too young at the time but it's so wonderful to be able to hear it being as that's where part of me comes from. Please, don't feel anything but joy when you speak it as you clearly do it well. Something i really must learn myself although i'm sure it's no easy task, lol! A great video as always and i do so enjoy seeing your wonderful smile. I know, irish women don't like compliments too much but suck it up, lol! ;) Have a fantastic day hun, take care!
I’m currently learning Irish/gaelige (I probably got that wrong) because I want to make moving to cork one day a lot more likely and I’m using your videos to help me. Thank you ❤!
They speak English in Cork! It’s true that sometimes it sounds nothing like English but it is, in fact, English. Honestly! 🤣 But, hey, don’t give up on learning Irish. I believe there are some great courses provided by Gaeltacht schools in Cork. P.S. If you are speaking in English, our language is simply called “Irish”. If you are speaking in Irish, then the language is called “Gaeilge”. 😊👍🇮🇪
Lol, Worries about fluency rings yet speaks solid Gaeilge throughout the entire video. That's a hilariously Irish perspective. I'm the only fluent speaker in my family so I know how ye feel! lol My mother and brother can understand everything others say though. I'm nowhere near Tallaght though so can't help ye in that regard ha ha ha. Cool idea for a cafe!
Really very kewl. I'm glad that they have such a place where you can embrace your native language. Here in Detroit, we have an Irish pub in the "Corktown" area (named after Cork, Ireland,) that has been operating since 1902, but obviously it's not a Gaelic only bar. It's important that native peoples of any land keep their traditions alive. The US has tried SO hard for SO long to eliminate Native American and Hawaiian cultures, much as the Brits tried to do away with Gaelic, that anytime I see something like this exists my cold, dead heart grows 2-3 sizes, lol! Sláinte! ~Be Blessed P.S. I know it's Scottish, not Irish, but a few local places held Burns Night festivities 2 nights ago on the 28th, and the Metropolitan Detroit area does have a number of Irish festivals throughout the year, and I try to attend these sorts of things if/when I can.
You could try to find an Irish (Gaelic) class in Detroit, and maybe you could start a Ciorcal Comhrá (conversation circle). You could have a pop-up once a month at an Irish pub.
What a fantastic IBL. I've a love/hate relationship with our native language but watching you has encouraged me to try and embrace it more and use it more often in my day to day - even if its just little throw away phrases. Go raibh maith agat Clare.😃😃
@@sealteamtwix okay, I get it. The US government tried that on its own indigenous people. It worked on some, but some of my ancestors.. well, it just pissed them off.
I'm still in recovery from my Gaeltacht days (Colaiste Bríd, Rannafast, Donegal): "Na bi ag caint I mbearla !" I'm taking your challenge and heading over to Cafe An Scéal. Go raibh math agat, Clisaire.
There is a pub in Toronto Canada where the washrooms are labeled in Gaelic (fir, mna). I didn't know where to go until someone else came out. Although I studied French in school, it's mandatory for English speakers to study French in Canada, but I don't remember much of it because I live in a part of Canada that has more Chinese speakers than French. As I explained it to a Senegalese immigrant, "Je parle français quand il faut que je parler français."
The same thing happened to me in an 'Irish' pub in Ipswich, England - toilet doors in Irish. That was the before the smart phone days and I had to wait for someone who knew which one to go in! I've travelled round a bit and that's the only time it's happened))
Irish Gaelic with its…. colorful spelling, pronunciation rules, and different words for marking people, numbers, and animals makes French look pretty easy by comparison. People don’t understand when I say that I’ll never complain about French again after having tried to study Irish. Both are beautiful tongues!
In Ireland, they call the Irish-language "Irish" not Gaelic (just so you know) and please learn. Irish people would be delighted and happy to speak with you :)
Conradh na Gaeilge (the Gaelic League) has a bar and bookshop in Harcourt Street, Dublin where people would be more than happy to hear you speak Irish. Otherwise, it’s a bit hit and miss with Dubliners. A lot of them have some stock phrases, learned in school, but not much more than that.
Yeah, I needed the subtitles for this one :) . My Great grandmother spoke Irish, but didn't want her kids speaking it since the Irish were discriminated against back in the the day here in the states. I guess really the Irish were discriminated against everywhere. She mainly spoke it when she was mad, so I got to hear it quite a bit. She told me I was the only grand kid she never worried about, because I was a bad penny and bad pennies always turn up.
The Irish worked hard here in the US to overcome the hatred and discrimination they faced. Many changed their names to anglicize them. Some even left the Catholic church. It wasn't easy for the first couple generations here.
What a lovely place ❤️ I love hearing you talk in every language😊🥰💚 You're doing really well with the French. I took french in junior high but only remember a few sentences. I need to check out babble and learn a new language. As always, thanks for taking us along on your adventures 💚❤️
Bonne chance avec la langue Française! Remember what Henry Higgins pointed out: the French don't care WHAT you say as long as you pronounce it correctly. While looking for my favourite Irish jam in the Home Goods store last week, I came across a bunch of green mugs all ready for St. Patrick's Day some seven weeks off with a typical shamrock on the front of some. Picked one up, turned it over and yup! Made in fucking China! When in Paris, be sure to have a jambon beurre as you're walking around working up a bit of an appetite (French jambon de pays is particularly good). Or sit in my favourite cafe Les Deux Magots just across the way from the Abbey of St.-Germain-des-Près which was built before Henry II invaded Ireland and enjoy the passing parade with your croissants or chocolat je ne sais quoi. Hi to Millie!
I took French in school for 7 years and have forgotten most of it years ago. You don't use it, you lose it. I would love to learn to speak Irish, but learning new languages is more difficult as you get older. Maybe I'm up for the challenge. It really is a very beautiful language.
Love the sound of Irish gaelic and the accent, even though I don't understand/speak it, so maybe I'll give Babbel a try :) My dad was from Kerry though I don't recall ever hearing him speak Irish. Pity
It's sad that it's rare to find an Irish speaking establishment in Ireland, but it's great that people are trying to revive the language. I love the sound of Celtic languages and I hope that in a few hundred years it's common to hear them all again. Plus, knowing multiple languages is really good for your brain!
Thanks to you and your channel I’m picking up Dutch again starting in the morning. I already setup my account with Babbel. As always. Love the content please keep up the good work
The problem with the way that Irish was taught early on was that it was imposed mandatorily on the entire population, and thus seen as an awful chore by the students, maybe even looked down on as being irrelevant and/or old-fashioned. The entire focus should be on making it relevant, giving people the opportunity to see it spoken in action, and preparing students for how to manage the bilingualism they see around them. Irish language revitalization policy focused entirely on the wrong things early on, and I hope it's not too late to turn that around. But a language cafe is absolutely the way it should be approached--at least one in every Irish city. And more funding towards news sites and broadcasting with advanced ways of having listeners access the texts with translations. But the traditional classroom setting? Save it for the students who show interest, and give them the majority of the resources (access to long-term exchanges in the Gaeltacht).
Went to this wonderful cafe this past week. Used my “cupla focal.” It was so amazing. And the food was fantastic. Thank you for introducing us to this gem. Also, Tamhlacht is so pretty.
Hey homegirl even though I'm Native American and I do speak a little bit of my language I would love to learn how to speak Irish and learn how to speak French did you see you in a while speaking to you from the crazy USA you looking really good see you in the high side 🦅💕
That looks like such a cool place! When I moved to Ireland I vowed to learn Irish but never actually did it and this makes me want to try. Good on ye for learning a bit of French, let me know if you want to practice with a native :) Although I swear living in Cavan is making me lose my French 😂
my name is Siobhan but i have no irish background, my parents just liked the name. i was listening to clannad before and though to search the language on youtube. Gaelic sounds so pretty ❤❤
Definitely find people who will speak it with you! I've lost pretty much all I learned because I haven't been able to speak it for 20 years -- Tá sé go hiontach to hear you though :) If you ever go north check out the Culturlann on the Falls Road in Belfast -- lots of Irish speaking ❤
Ahhh I love this so much!!!! More of this please!!! (On a more general scale!!!) I echo those who have already said this functions and such a great fuck you to those that tried to erase the language. Definitely get how it might feel awkward to speak it at times (I know I've heard others voice similar feelings), but I feel like every time you do it means so much on a myriad of levels. I'm trying to learn as well but definitely haven't reached a level yet where I can try to comment in Irish XP Hopefully soon!! (Also I had no idea about the Fáinne!! So cool!!)
My grandfather spoke Gaelic, and when I was very young, I learned a bit. When I got older, I had a renewed desire to learn. A friend said he could teach me - he had me so damned confused, as he would translate English to Scots Gaelic, then to Irish. Unfortunately, I do not see Gaelic on the Babbel site.

I was lucky that before I started school I learnt some Irish at my mother's knee. That made it easy for me. I developed no antagonism towards the language.
it’s funny that babbel is sponsoring this video. 😂 I am learning Gaeilge with Duolingo. 😂
I wish I had any Irish, but my family doesn’t know more than just a few words. Granda had a bit of it, but he died when I was 7. The o’malleys have only been in America for 3 generations. I think the rest of us are still around mayo and wexford but only my aunt knows them. Every time somebody tells me “you don’t have culture” I just wanna continue learning Irish, for the spite of it. And my mother says there’s nothing more Irish than spite 😂
I can't keep up with Gaelic whatsoever, but I love hearing it spoken. It just sounds like a piece of another world and it's beautiful.
It’s as related to English is as Russian so don’t stress 😂
Immersion is the key to any language. Find a partner and practice everyday.
I live in Brooklyn and there are many Irish Bars where Irish is spoken.
Go n-eiri leat (good luck) !
The language she is speaking is Irish, but yes it is from the Gaelic Language Family.

Sounds really good. Last Irish speaker in my family passed away a couple generations ago. I love that people are keeping the language alive.
Yours could be the generation that brought it back! Go n-éirí an bóthar leat a chara
@@maharencall3219 I have a friend learning Irish for just that reason. I may look into it.
I started learning it a few months ago and it's super hard but actually kinda fun. David, are you a relative of Mike?
@@keysofperception4377 we may be. There was, at last count, one about a thousand of us in the US. Of that group, I'm related to probably 20. my grandpa was the youngest of seven, and there was a ten year gap between him and his brother that had sons. My dad was the only son of his family. I think there's a Michael in that line, but I'd have to check. Swedes, unlike the Irish side of my family, aren't known for their ability or desire to communicate. 😂
My grandfather spoke no Irish, as the area of Ireland he was from had a British garrison, so the language was heavily suppressed. My father can speak moderate Irish (from what he learned at school). I will continue learning Irish until I am completely fluent and will speak it with my (future) children at home. Cafes like this one are important.
I love that you love your language. Although I appreciate the subtitles, I really love you speaking Irish. Be proud and never be embarrassed. Blessings.
It's so great to see Irish is thriving in Dublin. Hope there will be more places like this cafe.
I'm not Irish but I'm really happy for you!
This is just amazing! This kind of business is what could help in preserving the Irish language. As long as you have businesses where the language is spoken, more people will like to go there in order to practice the language, thus creating a community of individuals who can live by using only Irish.
Beautiful language, it sounds amazing, please keep it alive! Love to all Éire from Sicily!
I live in a small-ish city in western Canada, where many people don't even know gaeilge exists. The only person I can talk to is myself, but I'd love to visit this spot next time I'm in Dublin! Listening to you speak it is super inspiring and is music to my ears. Don't be embarrassed about speaking such a beautiful ancient language- as I'm sure you well know, is fearr gaeilge briste, na bearla cliste haha
Níl mé cinnte faoi do cumas Gaeilge ach freagróidh mé tú as Gaeilge ar aon nós. Ba chóir duit chun freastal na Gaeltachtaí san iarthar na tíre, déarfainn go bhfuil níos mó deiseanna Gaeilge a labhairt ná aon áit eile in Éirinn, tá siúl agam gur féidir liom dul go dtí na gaeltachtaí an tSamhraidh seo mar tá ceantar áileann é ar fad
Thankyou so much for making gaelic content. I'm learning at the moment (both Irish & Scottish varieties) and being able to watch regular content in it, from a normal person, chatting about their life, makes such a difference to me. Can't wait for the next one!
I was in a Nova Scotia, a few years ago (a Canadian province). I was amazed when I drove to the northern area of this province, 'Cape Breton', not only are all government signs in Scots-gaelic and english, I met more than a few fluent speakers and visit the local gaelic language college. I would consider myself a mid-level Irish speaker and could follow along just fine, speaking with Canadian gaelic speakers.
There's several documentaries on this well surviving language in east Canada
I think that the Gaelic language being preserved and spoken is great! Claire, all the best!
I agree with you, all Gaelic languages are beautiful and should be preserved.... side note, the language she is speaking is actually called "Irish" (but it is from the Gaelic Language Family, like Manx 🙂)
@@soulsurfer639 It's Gaelic in Donegal and Mayo too. Gaelainn in Munster.
@@brianboru7684 It's Gaeilge in Mayo no? Considering it's Gaeilge na Chonnacht.
@@internetual7350 Yes, it is. Certainly in the genitive case. I'm not sure about the nominative case, might be Gaeilig. It's Gaeilge in all cases in Connemara. Apparently it was "Gaeigle" in East Galway, in Menlo. There are native speakers speaking Irish from East of the Corrib if you type it into RUclips.

Been a dream to learn Gaelic. Even have an old Irish phrase book from my Great Great grand dad. This will be fun.
its good to hear that even you feel embarrassed and lack confidence when speaking Gaeilge ... it reminds me to try to catch myself feeling that way and not let it stop me from trying x i hope to be able to speak as well as you one day
That was incredible.
That beautiful tounge,totally bereft of Roman/Latin influences,it is magical to hear.
Truly,this was a wonderful gift to recieve,please do more videos in this magnificent language ❤️
That's not true, there a lot of loan words from Latin to Irish like póg from the kiss of peace pax in the Catholic Latin Mass. The Celtic languages were closely related to Italic languages.
Ah,interesting,thanks for the correction!
Ah,interesting,thanks for the correction!
"There are a lot" lol
'conas ata tu' looks a bit latin influenced to me
I never heard the Irish language, before.
What a pleasant surprise.
I love this! So cool to see this. Are there many of these types of 'Irish-language-only' places? My linguistics students love learning about the revitalization of Irish, and many have said that places like this would go a long way to continue its revitalization--I agree!
There are but you kind of need to know how to find them and keep up with the latest, this one has been open for a year or two now before I even found out about it!

@@donovanfoto3263Does anyone know why no-one in Ireland has tried to do a dual-language education thing? A language needs a world to inhabit (Why do you think a philologist created the greatest fantasy story of all time?). It will be a massive effort but someone needs a 50 year plan to start converting educational material and media into Gaeilgel, I like the children's channel. One criticism I do have in all this is that it seems that Ireland is trying to grasp at their language as if it is straw (They know they should have it but do not understand why.).
@@johnnotrealname8168 I think they do actually have schools with lessons mostly in Irish
@enkor9591 I am aware but they are rare. If you mean Irish lessons then knowing how I learned foreign languages at school...yeah not good.
When making a video demonstrating a particular spoken language, it's always good to have food in your mouth while speaking it.
Thanks Peter I’ll keep that in mind! 😊
I think it's absolutely wonderful that you're doing this. So many languages around the world are no longer spoken and are basically "dead" because of colonialism. It always makes me happy to see people actively trying to keep their indigenous languages alive!
Would love to see you go back with Ciara, I remember her speaking Irish to John's girlfriend (I'm sorry don't remember her name) in a Try video.
Really neat to have a spot in Dublin where irish speakers can go and feel at home speaking their language. It's so important to use it or it dissappears. I was fluent in Spanish once upon a time, now I'm so rusty as I don't use it and I can relate to that feeling of embarrassment trying to speak when you don't feel confident. Love that you post videos in irish with subs!
Éadaoin Fitzmaurice is John's girlfriend. I miss seeing her on Try.
@@aricp9173 Thank you! I struggle with names and could not recall it, glad someone could fill in the blank.
@@LadyAurian No problem at all! I'm glad I could be of help.
I'm American and finally going on the trip to Ireland I've been planning for 5 years. I've been "learning" Irish on Duolingo but can't wait to sit in this cafe and hear it spoken...thank you for sharing this 💜
Check out pop up Gaeltachts too! They’re on around the country monthly
be prepared to hear that Duolingo Irish sound different to spoken irish
@@cianmcguire5647Awesome, thank you for the recommendation!
@@TheIrekis oh I know, thus the quotes around "learning" haha 😉
@@donovanfoto3263 Spending the first few days in Dublin, but then most of the rest of the trip will be in the country in counties Clare, Kerry, and Cork.
Fantastic keep ur language alive its a beautiful thing gal
305 days on Irish Duolingo so far... Ba mhaith liom dul go dtí an gcaifé seo. I would be nervous to speak Irish there publicly as well but if I were to choose anywhere to try for the first time it would be a place like this. It might make some people's heads turn to hear Irish coming from a Canadian voice which I can't lie, would be highly entertaining even if I wasn't always correct in speaking Irish. Here's what I realized as a Canadian Irish learner. Canadians say "eh" a lot, often at the end of a sentence or question. It's almost instinctive for us to do it but in Irish the "eh" sound is actually a word which would throw off anything you're saying in Irish. Funny that, eh? lol
Im on 550ish days and feel like I know nothing. To be fair most of the time I complete 1 thing to keep my streak going haha
@@BadDubII I usually spend about 20 minutes to an hour a day doing exercises on Duolingo and it does take time to memorize words and meanings etc especially when literally no one around you speaks Irish. I find the repitition on Duolingo does help but I still have a feeling the moment I'll try to actually say something out loud in Irish my mind will go blank lol Whether it's true or not I just keep reminding myself Is fearr Gaeilge bhriste ná Béarla cliste 😀
One side-effect of Irish being a minority language is that a lot of its speakers are non-native, so I wouldn't worry about sounding different. Of course, you shouldn't be sounding *too* Canadian when you speak Irish, but I'm sure you know what I mean.
@@anglaismoyen Oh I definitely know what you mean for sure but I also wouldn't necessarily want to 'put on' an Irish accent outside of trying to pronounce words and sentences properly. I wouldn't want to sound cartoonish if that makes sense.
@drew-gf4ng Duolingo is good for vocab because it'recycles' it a lot however I've noticed it puts a lot of emphasis on the present simple tense which is used very little in real spoken Irish so I wouldn't take it as gospel.
I'm an American and naturally a native English speaker. I am proud of our language in all its variety. But I am also glad that folks in Ireland are keeping alive their language which is the oldest literary language in Northern Europe. It truly is a window into the iron age, pre Roman conquests Europe. Thank you all.
It's not english it's american😏
@@albionmyl7735 American English is a variant of English - it’s not a separate language - an American and an English person can chat together no problem
Conas tá tú? Is Meiriceánach mé. Switching to American English...I have been trying to teach my daughter(now 16) Irish for the past ten years or so, and I can find her in a crowd by shouting " Gabh mo leithscéal!" And it is partly because of you. I found your channel, you were asking Irish folks if they spoke Irish, and seeing their responses...and we have been tuning into your crazy antics ever since! We know Alex and Millie(sp?), and have laughed and participated in your lives for years now. And I just wanted to thank you! And the trepidation you felt in this video was endearing and inspiring, because we know your charming brilliance! May you continue to inspire! Merci beaucoup! Keep Alex guessing..!❤️
Tá sé sin go h-iontach! Fabulous to see an Irish-speaking café. I love Irish and am one the the lucky few who seemed to enjoy it in school, but I don’t get much chance to speak it except with one of my aunts. I live in Wales and speak more Welsh than Irish. When I go home next I’ll definitely try to call in here, instead of flying through Dublin and out the other side. Go raibh míle maith agat!
It's so good to know that Irish is making a comeback and is becoming more widely spoken again! I'm studying on my own in the US, and barely scratching the surface.
Tóg misneach/Take heart!
Love hearing you speak Gaelic. Such an interesting language. Must keep trying to learn on my phone. Going to Ireland in a couple of weeks for 3 and a half weeks. Can't wait. Dreamt of going since I was a child.
I enjoy you being able to giggle at yourself. There are several languages that sound wonderful to me. However having majorly of my family from Newfoundland. Irish is just the nicest sounding one. I also enjoy the fact your planning on getting Alex back a bit. While in France 🎉😂
Be safe you 2 (Milli too)
How amazing. I was saying to myself just yesterday that I want to learn a new language while I’m here in New York City for 10 more months
No idea why YT suggested this video to me, but super glad it did! Makes me want to take Irish classes again. Happy to subscribe and watch more!
Do it! I'm taking classes with Let's Learn Irish and I am really enjoying it!
this language sounds so beautiful. i hope more people will speak it..
I'm russian and I was interested about Irish,found that channel and I'm impressed.Please save Irish language, it sounds amazing,my ears are in euphoria 💔
Russian sounds awesome too.

I love this. Would love it even more with Irish subtitles in addition to the English (maybe both?) :D (I'm a patreon supporter). I would love to see more of this - either you just talking Irish about things, or having a chat with folks just casual like, since I'm not able to get a lot of exposure to those things here i gCalifornia. Go raibh maith agat!
You are absolutely beautiful in the way you've chosen to present yourself while making the Babbel endorsement!
That's amazing! Definitely gunna visit this cafe, (which supports the continuation of this beautiful language).
Go raibh maith agat!
Good for you, Clare! Getting out there and trying (no pun intended) to stay current in your grasp of languages. I have lived in a few different countries and traveled to a far many more, however, my confidence wanes when I try to converse in the local language of where I am. And once you do become passable at one, it may fade with the lack of use...such as my Italian. With a few exceptions, I find that decent people will help you - even cheer for your poorest attempt - to speak with them in their native language. After all, we are pretty much a social species and communicating is so vital to that. Great vid!
Yes, VERY intimidating! I'm American, and learned a tiny bit of Irish decades ago; Probably around 1990 near Boston in the US, an old man came up to me at a fast food place asking cén chaoi a bhfuil tú?? (I had something written at the bottom of my punk rock leather jacket)... I was so taken aback, I froze, answering curtly in English... It's So Hard! I felt so bad and embarrassed! I went up to him later, he was from Sligo...
If you don’t mind me asking, do you remember what it was that was written on your jacket?
@@zeo1087 It was a quote from the Lady Gregory version of the Cú Chulain stories, something that translated like "I swear by the oath of my people..." etc, etc.
Hey Clisare.
May i say how wonderful it was hearing you speak Irish, other than English with an accent of course, lol! :)
Please don't take offence to that, i know the English and Irish have had a past which hasn't always been good but i'm half Irish myself, does that help my case?, lol!
Anyway...
I never got to hear my grandfather who was Irish because i was too young at the time but it's so wonderful to be able to hear it being as that's where part of me comes from.
Please, don't feel anything but joy when you speak it as you clearly do it well.
Something i really must learn myself although i'm sure it's no easy task, lol!
A great video as always and i do so enjoy seeing your wonderful smile.
I know, irish women don't like compliments too much but suck it up, lol! ;)
Have a fantastic day hun, take care!
Great job on the video Clare! Thanks for making it. Great ad read too!

They speak English in Cork! It’s true that sometimes it sounds nothing like English but it is, in fact, English. Honestly! 🤣 But, hey, don’t give up on learning Irish. I believe there are some great courses provided by Gaeltacht schools in Cork.
P.S. If you are speaking in English, our language is simply called “Irish”. If you are speaking in Irish, then the language is called “Gaeilge”. 😊👍🇮🇪
Lol, Worries about fluency rings yet speaks solid Gaeilge throughout the entire video. That's a hilariously Irish perspective. I'm the only fluent speaker in my family so I know how ye feel! lol My mother and brother can understand everything others say though. I'm nowhere near Tallaght though so can't help ye in that regard ha ha ha. Cool idea for a cafe!
Really very kewl. I'm glad that they have such a place where you can embrace your native language. Here in Detroit, we have an Irish pub in the "Corktown" area (named after Cork, Ireland,) that has been operating since 1902, but obviously it's not a Gaelic only bar. It's important that native peoples of any land keep their traditions alive. The US has tried SO hard for SO long to eliminate Native American and Hawaiian cultures, much as the Brits tried to do away with Gaelic, that anytime I see something like this exists my cold, dead heart grows 2-3 sizes, lol! Sláinte! ~Be Blessed P.S. I know it's Scottish, not Irish, but a few local places held Burns Night festivities 2 nights ago on the 28th, and the Metropolitan Detroit area does have a number of Irish festivals throughout the year, and I try to attend these sorts of things if/when I can.
You could try to find an Irish (Gaelic) class in Detroit, and maybe you could start a Ciorcal Comhrá (conversation circle). You could have a pop-up once a month at an Irish pub.
I just moved here. The Gaelic League has an Irish language class for free. We're on hiatus till September but you should join!
What a fantastic IBL. I've a love/hate relationship with our native language but watching you has encouraged me to try and embrace it more and use it more often in my day to day - even if its just little throw away phrases. Go raibh maith agat Clare.😃😃

Tis lovely to go somewhere where Irish is the norm
I'm still in recovery from my Gaeltacht days (Colaiste Bríd, Rannafast, Donegal): "Na bi ag caint I mbearla !" I'm taking your challenge and heading over to Cafe An Scéal. Go raibh math agat, Clisaire.
There is a pub in Toronto Canada where the washrooms are labeled in Gaelic (fir, mna). I didn't know where to go until someone else came out.
Although I studied French in school, it's mandatory for English speakers to study French in Canada, but I don't remember much of it because I live in a part of Canada that has more Chinese speakers than French. As I explained it to a Senegalese immigrant, "Je parle français quand il faut que je parler français."
There’s a Gaeltacht in Tamworth, Ontario, a few hours north of TO.
The same thing happened to me in an 'Irish' pub in Ipswich, England - toilet doors in Irish. That was the before the smart phone days and I had to wait for someone who knew which one to go in! I've travelled round a bit and that's the only time it's happened))
It’s a bit counterintuitive as the word for “women” (mná) looks like “man” in English (fir).
@@TheLastAngryMan01 Found it. Tamworth is more east than north of Toronto.
@@allanlank It’s a fair cop, it’s been quite some time since I was there.
Never be embarrassed in speaking your native tongue. I really love hearing people speaking their native language
Irish Gaelic with its…. colorful spelling, pronunciation rules, and different words for marking people, numbers, and animals makes French look pretty easy by comparison.
People don’t understand when I say that I’ll never complain about French again after having tried to study Irish. Both are beautiful tongues!
I’m learning Irish right now because I have Irish lineage, and I love listening to you speak it so much it helps a LOT 😭
So cool! Makes me want to learn and speak Gaeilge when I visit Ireland. As a non-Irish person, I might look silly, but it'd be so fun :)
Do it!
There's a great Irish short film about this on YT called "Yu Ming is Ainm Dom"
In Ireland, they call the Irish-language "Irish" not Gaelic (just so you know) and please learn. Irish people would be delighted and happy to speak with you :)
Well Donegal people call it Gaelic, and older people in Mayo call it Gaelic too. It's Gaelainn in Kerry and Cork, or it should be anyway.
Conradh na Gaeilge (the Gaelic League) has a bar and bookshop in Harcourt Street, Dublin where people would be more than happy to hear you speak Irish.
Otherwise, it’s a bit hit and miss with Dubliners. A lot of them have some stock phrases, learned in school, but not much more than that.
Yeah, I needed the subtitles for this one :) . My Great grandmother spoke Irish, but didn't want her kids speaking it since the Irish were discriminated against back in the the day here in the states. I guess really the Irish were discriminated against everywhere.
She mainly spoke it when she was mad, so I got to hear it quite a bit. She told me I was the only grand kid she never worried about, because I was a bad penny and bad pennies always turn up.
The Irish worked hard here in the US to overcome the hatred and discrimination they faced. Many changed their names to anglicize them. Some even left the Catholic church. It wasn't easy for the first couple generations here.
You'd be very surprised how many Irish language expressions were incorporated into American vernacular language!
What a wonderful piece of advice. Do not speak Irish, they will hate you! Why did you move there then?

Bonne chance avec la langue Française! Remember what Henry Higgins pointed out: the French don't care WHAT you say as long as you pronounce it correctly. While looking for my favourite Irish jam in the Home Goods store last week, I came across a bunch of green mugs all ready for St. Patrick's Day some seven weeks off with a typical shamrock on the front of some. Picked one up, turned it over and yup! Made in fucking China! When in Paris, be sure to have a jambon beurre as you're walking around working up a bit of an appetite (French jambon de pays is particularly good). Or sit in my favourite cafe Les Deux Magots just across the way from the Abbey of St.-Germain-des-Près which was built before Henry II invaded Ireland and enjoy the passing parade with your croissants or chocolat je ne sais quoi. Hi to Millie!
That was wonderful, thank you! And that food looked _so_ good.
I took French in school for 7 years and have forgotten most of it years ago. You don't use it, you lose it. I would love to learn to speak Irish, but learning new languages is more difficult as you get older. Maybe I'm up for the challenge. It really is a very beautiful language.
I love how they call it the Tiochfaidh ar latte lol
This was beautiful!! more like this, please and thank you. Love from Bristol. (The one in Connecticut, US.). ;)
Love the sound of Irish gaelic and the accent, even though I don't understand/speak it, so maybe I'll give Babbel a try :) My dad was from Kerry though I don't recall ever hearing him speak Irish. Pity
Babbel doesn't have Irish, but Duolingo does. I use that and I'm also taking online classes. I'm enjoying both!
I've always regretted taking French in high school instead of Spanish. I just like the sound better. Guess it's not too late to learn Spanish!
Very interesting and enlightening, thanks so much!
It's sad that it's rare to find an Irish speaking establishment in Ireland, but it's great that people are trying to revive the language. I love the sound of Celtic languages and I hope that in a few hundred years it's common to hear them all again. Plus, knowing multiple languages is really good for your brain!
Thanks to you and your channel I’m picking up Dutch again starting in the morning. I already setup my account with Babbel. As always. Love the content please keep up the good work
Yess 👏🏻 👏🏻 hope you got the 60% off! 😎
The problem with the way that Irish was taught early on was that it was imposed mandatorily on the entire population, and thus seen as an awful chore by the students, maybe even looked down on as being irrelevant and/or old-fashioned. The entire focus should be on making it relevant, giving people the opportunity to see it spoken in action, and preparing students for how to manage the bilingualism they see around them. Irish language revitalization policy focused entirely on the wrong things early on, and I hope it's not too late to turn that around. But a language cafe is absolutely the way it should be approached--at least one in every Irish city. And more funding towards news sites and broadcasting with advanced ways of having listeners access the texts with translations. But the traditional classroom setting? Save it for the students who show interest, and give them the majority of the resources (access to long-term exchanges in the Gaeltacht).
tiocfaidh ár latte is the best thing ive seen maybe ever
Came here to see if anyone had commented! Pretty bold naming! :D
Aw, I think the next language i want to learn now is Irish. My grandfather was from ireland so its relevant too
Went to this wonderful cafe this past week. Used my “cupla focal.” It was so amazing. And the food was fantastic. Thank you for introducing us to this gem. Also, Tamhlacht is so pretty.
This was so lovely to watch! Need to visit 💛
How fun for you! It would be fun to see more videos of that place when you go with Irish speaking friends.

That looks like such a cool place! When I moved to Ireland I vowed to learn Irish but never actually did it and this makes me want to try. Good on ye for learning a bit of French, let me know if you want to practice with a native :) Although I swear living in Cavan is making me lose my French 😂
Brilliant as always, look at you trilingual!
Such a beautiful language!

my name is Siobhan but i have no irish background, my parents just liked the name. i was listening to clannad before and though to search the language on youtube. Gaelic sounds so pretty ❤❤
I can't speak it (the family has been too long away) but hearing it makes me smile.
Definitely find people who will speak it with you! I've lost pretty much all I learned because I haven't been able to speak it for 20 years -- Tá sé go hiontach to hear you though :) If you ever go north check out the Culturlann on the Falls Road in Belfast -- lots of Irish speaking ❤
I believe that Shaw’s Road has official Gaeltacht status now?
Ahhh I love this so much!!!! More of this please!!! (On a more general scale!!!) I echo those who have already said this functions and such a great fuck you to those that tried to erase the language. Definitely get how it might feel awkward to speak it at times (I know I've heard others voice similar feelings), but I feel like every time you do it means so much on a myriad of levels. I'm trying to learn as well but definitely haven't reached a level yet where I can try to comment in Irish XP Hopefully soon!! (Also I had no idea about the Fáinne!! So cool!!)
God this is sounds so similar to medieval english. It's absolutely beautiful, the language around the world sounds like this.
Babbel needs to add Irish to their menu.
Agreed! ☺️
That clear glass of Cafe looks sooooo good and tasty . Java junkie here .

My grandfather spoke Gaelic, and when I was very young, I learned a bit. When I got older, I had a renewed desire to learn. A friend said he could teach me - he had me so damned confused, as he would translate English to Scots Gaelic, then to Irish. Unfortunately, I do not see Gaelic on the Babbel site.
Reading another comment it sounds like duolingo has irish?
Irish isn’t one of the current offerings on Babbel. I have another video about taking online Irish classes on the channel!

Focal níos éasca chun cuimhneamh a choimeád ar I gcór 'confidence' ná muinín agus ní gá guit ach 'féin' a chur díreach roimhe chun 'self-confidence' a bheith i gceist agat(mar shampla..... Tá orm mo chuid féin-mhuinín a lorg aríst), tá súil agam go bhfuil sin cabhrach duit. B'aoibhinn ab ea do fís san ó thaobh cosaint na teanga de, maithiú as san, lean ar aghaidh leat leis an dea-obair 💪💪👏👏👌👌
Déan níos mó físeáin as Gaellain led´ thoil. Táid go hiontach.👍
This is the single coolest thing EVER
I just started learning Gaeilge on duolingo! Hoping to get at least conversationally proficient with it and to come visit Ireland and be able to speak the language
Hey Clisare, thanks for speaking Gaeilge!
Go raibh maith agat as Gaeilge a labhairt!
I'm just barely able to speak and write it. It's really good to hear the regular way of speaking, even while you're eating. Haha I grew up speaking Irish English, if that makes any sense. Syntax swaps.
I hope you’ll do more videos as gaeilge! I love it
I'm learning irish and your videos are a great help because I love recognizing words :) I'm currently learning via duolingo and am not from ireland so cant really immerse myself.
Excellent on the accent. Je parle Francais en peu. I am attempting Irish Gaelic now.
Impressive Claire, I am 60 and am still learning "Texan." Cheers from Texas
Oh my God!! Irish Gaelic sounds beautiful. I am trying to learn Scot's Gaelic and Welsh. I want to learn about my Celtic heritage.
I make an awesome Corned beef and cabbage. I love Irish and Scottish tea. I want to try Soda bread.
