    I love that she says “GWAYLgyuh” for Gaeilge. That’s the true way of saying it according to the rules of pronunciation, which I will include below:
    The golden rule for spelling in Irish, caol le caol agus leathan le leathan, means slender with slender and broad with broad. The terms slender and broad refer to two categories of vowels.
    The broad vowels are a, o, and u.
    The slender vowels are i and e.
    The rule caol le caol agus leathan le leathan means that the vowels on either side of a consonant (or group of consonants) should agree; they should both be broad or both be slender.
    Except for “h”, all Irish consonants come in two flavors, called “broad” and “slender”. Basically, broad consonants are pronounced with a “-w” off-glide, and slender consonants are pronounced with a “-y” off-glide. Broad consonants are always written with the letters a, o, or u next to them. Slender consonants are always written with the letters i or e next to them. Examples:
    Slender “b”
    beo (byoh)
    bí (bee)
    Broad “b”
    bó (boh)
    buí (bwee)
    If you are interested in learning more about Gaeilge, I have been putting together some resources (see below):
    ************************************************
    For those of you who are interested in learning our beautiful language, these are some resources I’ve gathered that you can use. I would suggest researching these and more, then selecting one resource from each dialect. 😊

      That's a fair mix of languages! Chapeau! If you go back long enough, there are actually similarities with other ancient Indo-European languages, such as Latin, Ancient Greek and Sanskrit. However, the modern languages have evolved to such an extent that only a linguist will be able to still notice the correlation. A different world indeed and what attracted me to study Celtic languages in the first place!

      Important to note that Irish is Irish but Gaelic is what Scottish people call Scottish. They are separate languages and the terms are not interchangeable.

    My grandmother was born in Co. Cork. When I first learned that there was an Irish language I asked her to teach me. She said she never learned it because "the English" made it illegal to speak Irish. She was born in 1909. I always wondered if this was true? She always hated "the English". Wondering if anyone else has ever heard this?

    • @stephenm4034
      @stephenm4034 4 года назад +1

      This was a thing and started as far back as the 1360s, when it was made illegal for colonists in Ireland from England to speak the Irish language and for native Irish to speak it to the colonists. In the 1530s it was made illegal to speak Irish in the Irish Parliament and in the 1540s it was made illegal for the Irish language to be spoken in areas of Ireland controlled by the English.
      She likely had hatred for the English because she would have grown up around the Irish War for Independence which wasn't the most pleasant of times, to put it euphemistically.

      When England took over Ireland they made it illegal to speak Irish (along with many other things) and BUT there were some secret hedge schools where kids could got to learn so that's how the language stuck around then in1916 there was a rebelion against the English because ww1 was taking place and Ireland was neutral and we won the war but England still has "ownership" and of 6 county's in Ireland and the Republic just calls them the nort

      @@_am_i_ell_ - The kingdom of Dalriada (Dál Riata) was in the north of Ireland and the west of Scotland - the Romans called the Irish Scotti and Ireland Scotia - the rivalry between Ulster and the other provinces is well documented , see The Cattle Raid of Cooley (Táin Bó Cúailnge) in the Book of the Dun Cow.
      Ireland never was "united" in recorded history and probably not even under the Tuatha Dé Danann.

      Sadly it's true. Most Irish heritage and culture was outlawed as well. Growing up as a traditional Irish dancer we were airways told this is why we keep our arms down. So that an Englishman walking by on the street wouldn't see dancing if they glanced through a window.

    This was a nice beginners lesson in the Irish language. It's perfect for anyone, who is trying to get their feet wet, so to speak. However, personally, I have one tiny little problem .... it was the way certain words or phrases were pronounced. Yet, that is a personal thing, strictly due to a different dialect. You see, when I began learning Irish, as a child, I was exposed to the dialect spoken in Ashford, Co. Wicklow and up towards southern Dublin and the town of Dún Laoghaire.

  • @antseanbheanbocht4993
    @antseanbheanbocht4993 4 года назад +3

    Learning the phrases is one thing but like ourselves here in Ireland, you will lose them as quickly for there is no one else to speak it to. Best to find a friend or family member to learn it with so you can practice conversation regularly.
    Good tutorial though.
