    Great video- great pronunciation ☘️However…. “Mo chuisle”- the ‘u’ sound is gentler ( not a ú) . For ex. It almost rhymes with the English word ‘hush’ +’le’ . Mo -ch-uisle . With that ‘ch’ sound at the beginning👍 ‘is tooh mo khwish-leh’

    croí is "heart" and is pronounced kree as indicated, but mo chroí is "my heart" and the modifier 'h' changes the sound for the possessive form. It is more noticeable when talking about his and hers: his heart "a chroí" her heart "a croí". You will be doing very well if you learn enough Irish to worry about getting those details precisely correct.

    Lovely video! It's interesting how the English just uses the same word "love" without change in different functions, "she's my love" "I love you" "I got a love-letter" etc which we shouldn't expect to translate directly into other languages. Unintentional perhaps but it's interesting how you used "sweetheart" prior to going into "heart" phrases.

You can certainly use it in a song if it fits the tone and rhythm. Don't forget the 'h' in thú. It changes the sound from "too" to "who"

    Thats a pretty heavy English accent I guess. R in Irish is nowhere near the English R you're using. I guess it should be kinda rolling, being a Russian I would do a better Irish R than an English speaker.

    Yes, I learnt my Irish in schools in Belfast and Dublin. My entire education as Gaeilge, even Maths! In common with most people on the island of Ireland today, my day-to-day language is English. The same was true of my teachers. Every language evolves with time, and Irish pronunciation has certainly evolved under the influence of English

    @@MyIrishJeweler but why not switch to rolling R when speaking Irish? It's a pretty easy thing to do for a person who's mastered all the other sounds perfectly. All those mh bh aoi whatever are far more complicated than R.
