      Hey, have you ever thought about creating Anki decks for Irish. I use them for learning japanese and they really help with remembering vocab.
      Also, there are some japanese language Patreon creators that provide Anki decks to their subscribers... (much like you). Go raibh míle maith agat, agas go n-éirí an t-adh leat.

    I know Latin (it's a mandatory subject in gymnasiums/prep-schools in Croatia where I'm from) and I've noticed how much it's helping me with the vocab. Asinus (donkey), cuniculus (rabbit), theca (case, wallet), betula (birch) et cetera... Really illustrates nicely how close the Celtic and Italic branches are in the Indo-European language group.
    However, though it helps me with the vocabulary, Latin has been interfering with my studying of the Irish grammar a lot.
    Thank you for this video, it's interesting to see the mnémotechnique (mnemonics?) using the associations from the English language!

    Learning a new language can be frustrating it requires a huge deal of perseverance and motivation, yet your videos are really helping throughout the process of learning this beautiful language. is maith liom e sin, go raibh maith agat.
    I find the subject "tú = you" easy to remember because it resembles the "tu" in French probably coming from Latin. "leabhar = book" as well "livre" in French. The word for orange juice as well "su oreiste" I find it similar to Turkish where they add the "su = water" to the fruit name and then you get the word juice of "fruit name". In addition, the structure and word orders for many of the sentences in Irish are similar to those in Arabic.

      Are you familiar with the story Nuala Ni Dhomhnaill tells of being sent to her mother's family in Kerry as a five year old (after first years in England) and the locals asking her one day "Cé leis tú?" [to mean 'who's your family' but literally 'Who do you belong to?'] and replying with all her five-year-old sense of utter self-respect "Ní le héinne me. Is liom féin mé féin" -- she recognized that if she had been only an Irish speaker she would not have 'known' what that phrase literally translated to and, therefore, would not have understood the implications of what she was being asked.

    First, go raibh míle maith agat for your videos ! They're fantastic! I have a question, please. Can you shorten sentences in Irish as we do in English? For example,
    If you and a friend were sitting in the kitchen and your friend asks you where is the cat ?
    Can you answer , amuigh ,( since you both know you're asking about the cat ) or do you have to say the whole sentence ?
    Go raibh maith agat ❤️
