American Tourist Orders Whisky in Scottish Gaelic, Locals Stunned

- Опубликовано: 17 июн 2024
- Scottish Gaelic has been spoken as an indigenous language in Scotland for thousands of years, and it is as different from English as Japanese is and equally hard to learn. Once spoken in much of Scotland it is incredibly rare these days, spoken by only 1% of Scotland’s population, but I visited the remote Scottish island of Uist where it is still used to see what locals would think of an American tourist speaking this ancient tongue. A big thanks to Ann of www.lovegaelic.com/ for taking me around and you can check out her courses and immersion trips and also James Macletchie from www.igot2travel.com/ who is an amazing tour guide from the Islands (and native Gaelic speaker).

Is Gaelic one of the most difficult languages to learn?
Cornish next?
@@pattyo6308 It's likely. Any near death language will obviously be far more difficult to learn than something like Mandarin, just by the lack of available resources.
Xiao besides your course what other “things” would you recommend for learning a language
@@pattyo6308 Depends on the location. Gaelic is a descriptive language and several hundred thousand or so are learning it. I am learning because it is the ancestrail language and we live in the States. Our ancesters are from Elgin of the Innes Clan.
I love that the priest was like, “OMFG, Xiaoma is in town! I get to speak all the languages! I get to speak all the languages!”
LOL I doubt very highly that he said OMFG, but yeah. He was pretty stoked to meet Ari.
Tbh he's being very generous with his translations ! A good effort but you can tell its only been a month ...you would be same .
@@DonC70 haha, fair enough.
He said WHAT? The PRIEST? Hmmmm
@@DonC70 sorry to say but it’s always those closest to us. Glad to know you are watching!😊
the priest randomly whipping out like 15 languages was insane :D
Linguists can't help but geek out when they meet another linguist, we're like kids showing off our favorite pokemon cards! Oooo I've got Spanish, English and Japanese, show me your tournament deck!
@@MegaKat Thats the most adorable take on it i've heard! Love it!
I met my friend's Polish workmate yesterday and he was surprised when I greeted him in his native mother tongue
@@seccikid6Polish is insanely hard
@@MegaKat Makes them very cunning linguists. 🤭
as a scotsman, this fills me with incredible pride, thank you
From across the border.
Did you learn Gaelic in school?
That island looks like a lovely and peaceful place to live. Kind of wish I lived on it because Im tired of big cities, terrible people and drivers and just want somewhere where I am left alone and its not stressful.
@@pilsplease7561I could 100% live there! I stay out of the cities and I love quiet country living. I’m in!❤
@@FrozenDungI’m from West Lothian next to Edinburgh and you’re more likely to learn French than you are to learn Gaelic 😂 I’m assuming places up the north of Scotland might (don’t quote me on that) but the more modernised areas, as far as i’m aware, no.
@@FrozenDung In the schools I go/I have gone to near Glasgow, similar to @mkace2198 we don’t learn Gaelic, we weren’t even given the choice, I would assume there’s just not enough Gaelic teachers in the area. Although in my secondary school we’re forced to take French for 2 years and Spanish for 1 and until recently we had the option to pick Italian in the final year but the teacher that taught it retired. I think quite a lot of schools offer it though and there are Gaelic schools all over the country
I'm really impressed with the priest. A Catholic priest, in a protestant country, speaking not only so many of the Celtic languages, but a little Chinese, and knowing so much about languages and their history, referencing the revival of modern Hebrew, etc. I would love to talk with that guy.
I think they are in Eriskey or South Uist with the priest which like Barra is predominantly catholic North Uist, Harris and Lewis is predominantly protestant Free Church of Scotland.
Who says Scotland is Protestant?
@@tomwalsh6655Scotland is atheist, like Ireland and England. Nobody is actually religious except the immigrants that come to them.
It's a protestant country in some ways and catholic in others(law for instance).
Catholic country * first. Before Henry the viii decided he wanted to marry as many women as he wanted also ending their lives if they didn't produce a male heir. So ye catholic country.
So crazy that a random priest is a fan
Makes sense considering how many languages he speaks.
He runs into fans all over the world- huge following
"crazy?"
Not really.
You just have an immature vocabulary.
@@user-dh6bj2me5p what are you even saying, people see things from different points of view thats it.
@@user-dh6bj2me5p No, the person was clearly being hyperbolic. There's nothing lacking in their verbiage, it's a youtube comment lol
That priest gave you a run for your money there Ari!
new york jew with west (of) england priest u met on a scottish island? that priest has guest appearance written all over him. Fly him out for non US videos, if.....he can learn enough whichever language of the people we so enjoy you surprising the bejesus out of. He learnt Cornish ffs!
Am I the only person who had the impression the Father was a fan?
@@respectbossmon Considering he said as much when he introduced himself, if you were the only one who thought so I'd be very surprised
Priest is Scottish 😂😂
@@camiloclarkson1122 The premise alone sounds like the beginning of a joke.
Scotland is so freaking beautiful!
Yes it is im so very fortunate to live 10 minutes from Loch Lomond.
Haha, Father came up in their flexing his language chops. It's so great to see people all over the world know you and what you have done for multiple language studies.
the old man drinking gin wasn't gonna let you off the hook as easy as saying hi lol
hahah that was my favorite part! 'you like whiskey?'... 'oh noo, I can't, I'm on the gin today'
@@jtizzle450 I'm on the gin every day!
his glass was probably pure gin, those rural fella go hard haha
@@JW-qf2fx yes
Bro was hyperventilating when he hit that water and the woman instructor was like... Have you ever swam.. outside before?? Anywhere? LoL
He was having such a rough time, poor guy. 😅
🤣
@@Jess-737 We are literally surrounded by water. Of course he has plenty of times. It's part of life here ;)
When that cold water hits the neither regions...... you are you not in control till your body reaches an equal librium takes seconds to many minutes.
We do have beaches in New York.
GOD BLESS SCOTLAND AND GOD SAVE SCOTTISH PEOPLE!
Cheers from Porto, Portugal ❤
Visited your beautiful city for the first time last week. Blessings to all in Porto - from Scotland
@robinknox3569 Scottish, Welsh and Irish have Iberian DND 🧬!
Because the Celts they go to the British Islands running away from the Romans, when Roman Empire take all Iberian Peninsula from our first people and civilization here the Lusitanians when it's called Lusitania to Portugal before the Romans and before the first king 👑 of Portugal in 1143 when we became the oldest nation in Europe and before the nation it's called Portvcale or Portucale 🌍!
Take a look about your Iberian DNA 🧬!
Blessings from Porto, Portugal!
Do you taste Port Wine🍷!?
I prefer Whisky 🥃 FROM SCOTLAND OBVIOUSLY!
THE BEST!
MY FAVOURITE IS Glenfiddich Single Malt Scotch Whisky 🥃!
👍🏻 🙂
Cheers mate 🍻!
👍
@TalorcMacAllan-jh9meAye!
You're welcome mate!
Your country is a beautiful land full of history and mystical souls and everything in Scotland is nature!
You feel real life there!
🥃 Cheers mate!
I'm taking a glass of Single Malt Glenfiddich right now instead of a port wine 🍷 one glass!
😂
Thank you from Scotland. 🏴 We will be saved after the next election when things will get much better. 🏴
You were in my hometown?!? Wow lol- never thought I'd see so many familiar faces in one of your vids :D The nice old lady at the BnB was one of my primary school teachers!
Wow …..that is amazing 😊 small world a ! I would love to live there !! ❤
it is really crazy to have two Polyglots fluidly switching languages rapid fire like that. Ive never seen something like that in the wild.
Watch more of these vids, when he's in other countries home to polyglots like this he does these crossover polyglot vids
Laoshu (who if you don't know basically spearheaded this style of video-Xiaoma has cited him as inspiration) had a few instances of this over the years. The best I can recall right now was an encounter he had with two Russians in a supermarket-one of the two knew enough in fair number of languages for them to cycle through a bunch together. Next time I come across it, I'll share the video title here. Unfortunately, Laoshu's videos (especially his older ones) are all quite randomly/obscurely named, so finding anything again is a pain.
you should watch Language Simp, hehe
@@WilliamAndrea Any recommendations? Only things I've ever seen by him were over-exaggerated caricatures and speaking in "obvious-sarcam" tone the whole time lol. If he does any videos actually connecting with people through language, then I'm interested.
@@herpyderpy4366 Oh, I was joking :/ I meant the caricatures like "American Polyglot Attacked by British Man in London". But there's at least one video where he's switching languages for real, though as a prank: "American Polyglot Omegle Trolling in French". The two guys smoking are the best.
3:46 When Father Ross appeared I lost it! Our man speaking so well he summoned a holy man.
No one ever expects the Scottish Gaelic Inquisition!
Ood ing
Not the Scottish Gaelic Inquisition!!
After years of taking only ice cold showers, those breathing techniques totally work, if u focus on the cold it’s all ur gonna feel, focusing on doing deep breaths and your own warmth makes the water just feel really good and refreshing
cold showering was what really helped me to learn to control my mind, instead of it controlling me!
Wim Hof!😊
As a first language Welsh speaker myself, I just wanted to say thank you so much for raising awareness of our beautiful ancient Celtic languages. They are so important to the history and the future of our countries. All the Celtic languages are experiencing a revival.
A New Yorker who speaks Gaelic. I think i've seen it all. The internet has completed its purpose.
I'm Polish but I have a strong Highland accent when speaking English. Always wanted to learn Gaelic, such a beatiful language and region!
@@jigsawharlequin862out of interest, how did you gain a highland accent?
@@MrOoYT I had a tutor that was Irish and another one that was Scottish. I also watch a Scottish RUclipsr and always like the sccent in general. In Poland, we roll our r's so it was easier for me. I can do a pretty convincing Irish accent, too, which is helpful when people struggle to understand me (notorious Scottish issue...)
@@jigsawharlequin862 Oh I see. Which Irish accent do you have?
@@jigsawharlequin862 I love it when that happens! That's quite common when someone learns a language in the country itself or from someone with a strong accent that you then pick up that local accent even if it's different from the standard accent you're taught in language schools
I'm a native Irish speaker,
and understand 95% of spoken Scottish Gaelic. Your pronunciation is amazing 😍
yes, you will get stuck for a word or 2 , here and there, but your spoken Gaelic and understanding of others is 5 star my man 👏👏 Thà gu màth ❤️😎
Dè dualchainnt na Gaeilge a th’ agad, a charaid? An ann à Uladh a tha thu?

@@Glaschu1I'm in waterford
He also speaks irish
Has he been to Ireland? I’ll have a look brb. My Dad is fluent from the west coast, me not a word sadly.
I went with my mother and father to the highlands in the mid 1980s and on a visit to Mallaig we stopped in a pub and two old men were a bit worse for wear and singing songs . They asked my father to sing a song for them , he had been a choirboy as a child and shocked us all when he started singing a song in Gaelic that he remembered from his church . They absolutely loved it and we struggled to get out of the pub sober .
Every time you put a smile on my face, not only because of your talent, but also the reaction of the people and the happiness you spread.
No way I’m from Scotland but don’t speak Gaelic. Been watching you for years. Love from Scotland hope you enjoyed your visit
just memorize some greetings. That is mostly what he did.
You might be surprised how easy it is to pick up. The Gaelic phonemes (sound units) are already familiar to you, as most of them have been incorporated into the Scots English dialect in which you've been communicating your whole life. Training your mouth to produce alien sounds and your ears to make sense of them are some of the biggest challenges in language learning, and you have a giant leg up on that part.
In addition to the satisfaction of connecting with your roots, there's an enormous body of Scots Gaelic literature, songs, and oral storytelling waiting for you to enjoy. Give it a shot! Slàinte mhath!
Feasgar math
Hardly anyone does though, only really in the west? 70,000?
Because Scottish Gaelic isn't "thousands of years old" as he tried to say here; besides, it is a mere copy of Irish Gaelic, where it was actually spoken thousands of years.
Father Ross may be a distant relative or at least a Jedi Master for you. Rare to see you shocked like that.
haha agree - im welsh and switching Gaelic to Irish to Welsh is insanely hard to do... especially if you have other languages (czech, mandarin, latin bases etc) with wildly different structures. Awesome to see Ari out in the much forgotten corners of western europe!
It is amazing to me that the priest knew who you were. That just goes to show the power of the internet and your content. People love your videos. I actually laughed and got teary eyed watching this clip. Keep on doing what you do.
Beautiful!
Such a wonderful episode.
You, and the rest of us, were enriched by your honest connections with those truly authentic people.
Your swimming coach has the most relaxing voice this side of the nippy sweetie barrier
Ari surely wasn't relaxed during the swimming part tho 😂
Thats COLD!
He’s halfway through the Celtic languages! Now he just needs to do Manx, Cornish, and Breton. That would help to bring awareness to the revivals going on with them too!
yes, the Black country would be very interesting
Manx would be amazing! Or Cornish!
This is incredible. Ive used youtube for nearly 15 years and this is the first time I've ever seen gaelic get this level of attention. Gle Math!
Thanks for this video, it hit a special place in my heart and your fluency put some speakers to shame 😂
I grew up with Gaelic on the Western Isles as my grandparents refused to speak english.
I seriously loved this episode so much!!! Seeing you making locals so happy by keeping their ancient mother language alive was heartwarming .. ♥️😢
And cold dips are SO GOOD for your heart & body man!! I’m 100% serious - I don’t do them myself but you’ve encouraged me to face my fear (well 1 of them.. 😔)
There’s so many medical studies showing the endless benefits of that on every organ & function of the body.
Cheers from 🇨🇦 mate ☺️
You brought the sunny weather to Scotland 🏴 Thank you
That women who took him swimming is bloody hard, dead hard!! Much respect.
What wonderful Island people and so welcoming.
the water isnt as cold as you would think. the west gets the tail end of the gulf stream which keeps things mild, considering its as far north as Kodiak Island in Alaska.
This is seriously one of, if not the coolest thing that you've learned this many languages and these unique languages. So much respect to you. You can see how much happiness it brings to the locals. You're breaking down the world barriers, and that's what the world needs!
Thank you for using the Scottish spelling of whisky, it's much appreciated! Hope you enjoyed your visit.
I'm still learning of new words in English (My first and only language) I never knew existed, and he's out here casually speaking 100 languages like it's nothing lmao
He's really not!
My granny lives in Uist and I visit most summers. this is so weird to see. thank you for showing Gaelic to the world.
Also the Skye beers are delicious. Irn Bru is a classic. I can never find it in Ireland.
An bhfuil Gaelainn na hAlban aici?
I have family there still! Bet we’re related somehow
I love watching your videos. You bring us along to explore and experience the different cultures and people around the world, thank you.
Loved this well done for staying in the water. Hope you enjoyed the Scottish hospitality
I mentioned on the comments a while back when you asked what languages you should learn next and I mentioned Scottish Gaelic and mentioned about Uist being one of the very few places to speak it still, being Scottish I am so glad you did this, it’s has me thinking actually was it my comment you seen and took interest, that would be so cool, followed you for years, thanks Ari, you have made my night 😁🙌
I mentioned in his Irish and Welsh videos that he should learn Gàidhlig! Either way, I’m glad he took the suggestions from the comments, the Scots are truly a beautiful people with a beautiful native language, and a beautiful country that is rich in history.
I also added fuel to this fire on the Welsh video. So glad he did this
he should learn some cornish next
Remembering any language in freezing water is very impressive. You have amazing mental fortitude ! 🍻😋
Never in my life would I have envisioned you visiting the Outer Hebrides, I don't think I've smiled and felt so warm inside watching a RUclips video in years.
Having stayed on Uist for a while you quickly notice how friendly the people are, like a the majority of us Scots.
Hope you can come back again!
I love languages. Thank you for your efforts to keep them alive.
I'm an American who has been learning Scottish Gaelic, and I love it as a language. I was so excited to see that you learned it and spoke it with locals. Thank you (or mòran taing) for helping to revive dying languages like Scottish Gaelic.
You should check out Irish Gaelic, tons of very similar words
@@BadDubII Mar foghlameoir na Ghaelainn, aontaíom ach ag an am céanna ceapaim go dhéanfeadh sé níos fearr dá mháistreodh sé Gaelainn na hAlban roimhe sin, mar tá siad chomh cosúla agus mar sin má tá teanga Gaelach amháin agat is féidir leat na teangacha Gaelach eile a fhoghlaim ach ta siad saghas *ro*-chosúla chomh maith agus tá sé saghas casta chun Gaelainn na hÉireann agus Gaelainn na hAlban a fhoglaim le chéile. Tá sé níos fearr foghlaim teanga Gaelach amháin roimh tosaigh tú teanga Gaelach eile.
@@internetual7350 Is teanga an IE cognate of tongue, or is it a loan?
@@Neophema Teanga is an Indo-European cognate of tongue I am pretty sure. Compare it to words in German and Swedish "zunge" and "tunga" respectively.
Ur learning Irish
Thank you for speaking Gaelic
From Scotland 🏴
It is an enormous feat to learn a new language but I've always respected you for truly immersing yourself in the people and cultures you visit and being effortlessly respectful and humble in your interactions. I am watching you fight through and transcend yourself while walking into the freezing Scottish ocean and thinking "sure came a long way from surprising people at Chinese food restaurants in NYC!"
The landscape, the exterior of the home and the inside looks so calm and peaceful.
This was in my opinion your most heartwarming and cozy video! A little island community which is just the most down to earth and kind people.
I was in the islands for 2 months some years back. Lewis, Harris and Uist. Just wonderful.
With all the hostility in the world, your openness to learning languages and cultures is so wholesome and refreshing ❤
Amazing. Your ability to learn languages is off the scale!!! So lovely to see your interactions with people. Da Iawn
ONE MONTH???? THIS GUY IS INSANE, I'm immidately following his guide on how on earth he learns so fast...
2:46 - When he tries to take off the bottle cap haha. We've all fallen for it since they changed the caps, and it's funny seeing a foreigner experience it for the first time.
Ari is such a kind person i love how he connects to so many people through language
I have driven on S Uist and even as a stranger everyone waved when passing. So I waved back🙂. One thing about the place that sticks out more than anything (I was in Daliburgh, a tiny village in the south) was the sky at night , coming from a city with light pollution seeing the stars at night where there is little artificial light was a thing of wonder in an absolutely beautiful place,
It's is getting surreal. I'm just happy this kind of channel exists.
Brilliant. Such a talented young man. He is so respectful to the islanders - showing an interest in the culture and traditional ways. Good on you son!
Dude you look so much healthier since you started working out and eating better man. Congrats on your success!
Yeah, I noticed this too!
Bro I'm Scottish and live in Scotland (Edinburgh). I love your channel and how you use new languages to also connect with people. Uist is a well informed intelligently chosen place to use Gaelic. Other islands like Orkney and Shetland have a different identity to them but the Western Isles is perfect. Super impressed.
I’m so happy you have showed this language, it is dying out and you have learned it well. It is amazing thank you so much. My mother is fluent in Gaelic and I speak a wee bit but it is difficult and a rural language. Thank you xiaoma x
thank you so much xiaoma for bringing so much light to the celtic languages. watching your irish, welsh, and now gaelic videos have gotten me so emotional. i’m currently disconnected from my welsh culture but i’m learning welsh and you are such an inspiration, thank you so much
Your dedication to a language is impressively insane. You are going to have a larger impact on this planet than you think.
Watching this always makes me feel good. What an amazing experience!
I love being along for your journey...thank you.
Swimming in the ice water scene was absolutely hysterical.
Artic Ocean is a wee bit on the cool side.
Im so happy you finally came over here to make a vid on scottish gaelic. Hope it inspires other people to learn it too
The video I have been longing for. Love to see you speaking Scottish Gaelic. Great job and great video.
Been watching you for a while and I never thought I’d see the day you’d be speaking Gàidhlig and you’re really good for only a months practice. Math fhèin, a laochain!
And I can confirm my dog understands English & Gàidhlig. We’re in the Highlands😅
I have been subscribed for a while now. I love watching peoples reactions to you speaking thier native tongue, hope you enjoyed our little country.
I have been waiting on your Scotland visit!!! Yes! Failte! Great video 🏴🏴🏴
I was born on the neighbouring island of Lewis, but grew up overseas my entire life, so never had the chance to learn Gaelic. Your video reminded me of my roots and gave me some motivation to learn my mother tongue someday. Really enjoyed the video and would love to see more Gaelic content !!
Thanks for sharing. The fish eye videos make my head swim. No pun intended.
xiaoma, i left a comment on the irish video saying if you did scottish gaelic it would be great. turns out you've done it! thank you so much for motivating people like myself to learn the language of my country :)
My nieces on the East coast are in Gaelic medium at school, it's really being well supported by the government in Scotland.
Much to the disagreement of my late grandad 😂 I can’t see why it wouldn’t be a good thing to have it revived

This is becoming a travel channel along with linguistic endeavors :) It's nice to see the countries of languages you speak.
I like that Ari has a bit of every language in his accent. The way he repeats words when thinking especially
My Mum and Dad are Scottish and I just love going there. The people are amazing and so hospitable. I also adore the stereotypical grumpy Scot, they're the funniest.
This channel is a great insight into other pockets of the world & how language connects us all.
What a beautiful landscape, feels like a dream!
indeed so scenic
Great video. We're really happy that incomers are learning Gaelic, Gaelic schools, choirs etc so it's enjoying a resurgence.
I hope you enjoyed your stay in Scotland - I've been here four years, and trying to learn Gaelic but don't have your skill with language. It's a beautiful place, I love it here.
I didn’t even know there was an Irish Gaelic and Scottish Gaelic! I thought there was just Gaelic! What a sheltered life I’ve lived! 😭
Beautiful island and lovely people there! We’re living vicariously through you Xiaoma! 😊
Aye, Irish Gaelic is pronounced gay-lic and Scottish Gaelic is gah-lic.
@@gafroninjaguess I only knew about the gay-lic. Lol
Lots of similar words to be fair
@@icallmysugarcandy There's also Manx Gaelic (the Gaelic spoken on the Isle of Man).
@@BadDubII Depending on the dialect, even somewhat mutually intelligible (though you get lots of heated opinions one way or the other on this front-some people really want to consider them as entirely distinct, others want to consider them one language, depending on a bunch of cultural identity issues). My mum is a native speaker of Ulster Irish, and on that basis can, after getting used to it, understand and converse with Scottish Gaelic speakers (of certain dialects at least), though with some effort.
One of the most enjoyable episodes ever!
They don't look each other in the eye much. Do they ?! How fun it looks.
How cute the little lamb is.
Such a great video, thank you so much for showing off this beautiful language to the World
That priest putting you to the test! 😂
Sweet community melting my heart over here
Everyone on the island is so nice. Keep up the great work
Oh the Isles and the Machair. I spent 8 weeks on Lewis in May June 2014 on a croft with all the animals. All the kids learnt Gaelic at school. We had to harvest the peat for cooking and fires. Uist was very special.
It seems that every country you visit brings new challenges..!! Good for you for being such a good sport ... !!!...especially that freezing water experience!!!
That was a great video literally showing how committed you are to achieving your goals. And frankly, remembering to speak a language you just learned while swimming in the cold Atlantic ocean, well that truly showed you studied well and hard!
Sgoinneil! Mealaibh ur naidheachd.
So happy to see you went to Scotland! My dream home! Thanks for sharing another epic video!
