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!
Interesting, glad to hear that you found the videos useful and informative and best of luck with your journey. I hope to make a video soon comparing Irish with Italian.
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.
P.S. here, I like learning without a test right after or even before. It was gaeilge I mo chroi, who plugged your channel the first time I was catching hers. Bye for now.
I've been listening to your videos for a while now. I decided to become a patron a couple of months ago because I found them so helpful. I only wish you made more of them! I wish you well and your endeavors and hope to see more of these in the future.
Go raibh maith agat ! I've been learning Irish on duolingo on my phone but your short videos compliment it wonderfully as they're more in the vernacular than learning official language phrases. Thanks
I am a person of Indian origin. But I love Irish cultures and especially Irish mythology. Thats why I want to learn Irish, atleast a little bit. 🇮🇪❤️❤️🇮🇪
Dia dhuit Dane! Really a great video! I found your video very interesting and informative! I really loved how you explained the way to remember Irish words relating them to the similar sounding English words!Thanks a lot! Go raibh maith agat agus slán go fóill!
I always remember 'uair' because it's close to the Danish word for clock, 'ur', 'spéir' because it sounds like spire (that goes into the sky), and 'bord' is easy since that's the same as in Danish ;)
I never heard an Irish word for sush usually we would use the word cunais forgive me if I spelt it wrong as you know it means quiet that's what our teacher always said cunais Agus Na BHI AG caint forgive me I don't know how to put a rubbileen over the letters just discovered your page this morning and I think it's excellent keep up the good work
Is cúl exclusively for goals in a game, or does it also apply to goals we set for ourselves? Such as academic goals, or goals in life, and business/career.
Great as always! (Have always loved the Irish for be quiet [Éist do Bhéal] -- listen with your mouth :) It's a revelation to know some of both languages.
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.

Go for it! Glad you like the videos 🙂
Bord Also means table in swedish so it might Have some connection through old Norse
Possibly so, thank you for sharing.
It used to be used in english too. That is what "room and board" means.
Interesting
I think gan sounds a bit like gone, so it's no longer there. and ait sounds similar to the German word Ort which means 'place'.
Gan amhras, without doubt. A good example 👍
Dia dhuit Dane! Really a great video! I found your video very interesting and informative! I really loved how you explained the way to remember Irish words relating them to the similar sounding English words!Thanks a lot!

Uair is a good one 👍
Wow mate well done
Thank you
I'll make sure to use this in school, Thanks mate
Knowledge is power
Board: room and board/ room and table
If that works for you, go for it.

Greannmhar agus cabhrach, a Dhan !! Go raimh maith agat. For me, "salach" reminds me of "sale" in French.
Go raibh maith agat 😊
Some Irish words are similar to Italian ones: so I can remind them.
I hope to make a video soon comparing Irish with Italian
@@LearnIrish Thank you. I am looking forward to watching this video.
Stay safe and stay well
Is cúl exclusively for goals in a game, or does it also apply to goals we set for ourselves? Such as academic goals, or goals in life, and business/career.
No the word you're thinking of is cuspóir
@@LearnIrish good to know! Thank you!
Stay safe
I remember when I was very young, my Grandfather, father, uncles, aunt speaking the language when they argued with each other.
That was their language of expression. Or maybe they just didn't want others to hear what they were saying.
Great as always! (Have always loved the Irish for be quiet [Éist do Bhéal] -- listen with your mouth :) It's a revelation to know some of both languages.

Yes Dane, your lesson is great. Go raibh maith agat.
You're fantastic
Can you give examples of the use of prepositions as I find as (out of) o (from) and faoi very difficult to understand their use in sample sentences.
Certainly, check this out

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 ❤️
You can be flexible and shorten if you want, language learning is all about small steady steps and building confidence.
I appreciate your thoughtfulness presenting the connection between Irish words and English by their similar sounds. Thank you!
We all learn in different ways, best wishes and stay safe.
I remembered "more", because in my language mare=big 🇷🇴🇮🇪
Good tip
Díreach = straight
Siúlann sé díreach ann = he walks straight (directly) there.
Direach, direct(ly)
Another good example 👍
Lived in England all my life - can I take a qualification in Irish? Level 2 and 3?
I don't think that would be impossible
How about the Irish word for whisky?
Uisce beatha
@@LearnIrish Yeah, I know.Almost like the Sassanach word for whiskey.
It's also known as fuisce which is handy 🙂
@@LearnIrish Even closer to English
I would say that the English is closer to Irish.

I'll have to think about that 😊 but thanks for sharing, it could be a good idea for a future video.
Abalta sounds like "able to".
Indeed
Cúpla - I remembered it like I'm saying "a couple of". ex: "Nílim liofa, ach, tá cúpla focal agam" -
Madra uisce - Because the literal English translation made me giggle! water dog! lol. Otters do act like that, I suppose.
Ionracas - This was easy to stick because of the similar start of pronunciation to "honor", and I connected honesty with honor. I suppose this might not work well for some though, given onóir is so similar.
Éan because of my uncle Ian, who also had pet birds when I was a little kid. So when I saw a bird, I thought of my uncle "éan" lol!
Bíodh lá deas agat!
Very good and very creative 😊
In the spring, the birds are always so noisy, not to mention the swooping magpies trying to peck at my lobes. The whole experience gives me earache. Is é sin an t-earrach.

Salach sounds like the Dutch word zalig which means wonderful . So actually the opposite .😅
