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!

The landscape, the exterior of the home and the inside looks so calm and peaceful.

mate. you've almost completed the internet. a Real inspiration

Im so happy you finally came over here to make a vid on scottish gaelic. Hope it inspires other people to learn it too

you look really healthy brother glad to see your content always God bless you and your family.

The video I have been longing for. Love to see you speaking Scottish Gaelic. Great job and great video.

When I was active duty I had a lieutenant who was Scottish. He always talked about how beautiful the land was, and how nice the people are. He moved there a few years ago when he got out of the military. My wife and I really want to visit Scotland

One of the most enjoyable episodes ever!

As a Canadian Scot. This warmed my heart...Slainte mhath!

Thanks for sharing. The fish eye videos make my head swim. No pun intended.

Thank you for using the Scottish spelling of whisky, it's much appreciated! Hope you enjoyed your visit.

As someone with Scottish and French heritage, Scottish Gaelic has just about died out in my family. But I've been trying to learn Scottish Gaelic on my own to preserve it. Thank you 🤍💙

@@SteakBaked99 Well yes but it used to be prevalent in my family; something my great grandmother wanted to keep alive in her household.

@@redbloodedscotsman2637 good that you still hear it about, but it’s not just “my view”, only a small fraction of scots still speak it particularly on the mainland

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 love being along for your journey...thank you.

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.

When he got in the water that shit is wild 🤣

Ari looking fit! Good on you mate, bloody impressive work. Much love from Australia.

They don't look each other in the eye much. Do they ?! How fun it looks. How cute the little lamb is.

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.
