We just returned from Ireland, and the Irish language seemed far from "non-existent" to us. English may dominate, but we covered a lot of ground and everywhere we went, on the buses, in parks, at the college or in restaurants, someone was speaking Irish. It was a wonderful sound. The bilingual signage helps to reinforce it as the true native language of the country. I intend to learn it at least on some level, to honour both my family heritage and current efforts towards revitalization.

Im half irish half tunisian and grew up in england. I've always had fond memories of visiting my grandad in ireland, and wanted to learn the language, since im a teenager the earlier the better! Weirdly enough as i started learning I felt that I had been missing something, and now I am whole again. I am really grateful for your videos for teaching me irish!!! Lots of love!! Dia duit!! ❤

My great-grandmother moved from Clonbur to Boston in the early 20th century. She didn't come back to visit until the late 1950s. Over that time, she had lost her Irish language skills, while her brother had never learned English. So a cousin had to translate for them. I was able to find and reconnect with my Irish family, and for my parents 50th wedding anniversary in 2015, we went over and met up with some, and then some more in a few following years. Two of these were fellows who were excellent in both Irish and English and because of this were able to do well in their civil service careers in Dublin, and both are now retired. I want to learn Irish, but worry about my ability to learn it, because languages are much easier to learn when you are young (especially before puberty).

So cool my grandpa is from county Sligo. He's passed now and I'm all the way Californian dude . But like you my heart yearns for Ireland I guess because it's blood runs thru me 24/7 . I feel like I've lived in a time passed there and it was wonderful and beautiful and I was happy there for so many days. A far cry from living here in California my whole life. Or I could just be crazy. But I don't think so. I have dreams that are so vivid . But really I just wanted to say thank you. Your easy on the ears . You have a beautiful voice and just a beautiful way of being. From my heart to yours. Keep up the good deed.

Its so satisfying to see young people trying to keep alive their languages. Good job! Im still struggling learning english just because its the "international" language bah! Every country should promote learning and using their original languages tbh subscribing cause Gaelig always has been on my language's wish list to learn someday

Thank you so much. I am currently using Duolingo which is okay. I am Canadian. My grandfather was from Fermanagh. We never met but I love the language. The grammar however is really difficult for me. I will keep trying. I look forward to your next video.

im iranian my native language is farsi and im in loooooove with irish language.such a beautiful language

The last time I heard Gaelic spoken fluidly was from my Great Uncle in Pollagh, Newtowncashel. When I was but a wee bairn. Sat in the cottage in front of him next to the peat fire as he told me tales of Irish folklore and Legend, sadly did not understand a word of it. My Auntie told me bits of what old Pat was saying. Beautiful lyrical language I will never forget.

Recently found out one of my first ancestors to come to America was an Irish man who was an indentured servant for 7 years. I really want to get in touch with that side of my heritage

My grandparents used to speak the old tongue but my mother didn't care to teach me any. I will be watching to learn whatever I can.

My grandfather effectively stopped the use of Irish in our family when he raised my father and aunts in English, my father despised the language in school and thus never taught me (I was born in Germany so learning it in school was never an option). I’d love to be able to speak the language my great grandfather went to such great lengths to preserve (ironic considering what my grandad and dad did then lol), all the better then that you speak Ulster Irish since my grandfather, the last native speaker in my family, is from Monaghan!

Years ago, I spent some time in Tsaile, a Navajo town in Apache County, Arizona, desert land near Chelly Canyon. The Navajo inhabitants pronounce their town's name sail-ee, yet the similarity of its spelling to the Irish word "an tsáile," denoting a salt water area, or sea, is obvious. The town of Tsaile hosts the main campus of Diné College. Diné is the Navajo language name for "the people," the Navajo people, and when they would say the word, it sounded to me like the Irish word "daoine," also meaning "people." Curious! Maybe just coincidences, but the words can stir imaginings of ancient history. Yes, we must safeguard the languages, the vehicles of culture and cultural memory, and learn from them.

Yea my heritage is from Ireland and I'm trying to get into my Irish side

Oh my gosh, my son wanted to hear Irish Gaelic spoken instead of sang. I am so glad you have put this out here. And that you say things on the repeat a wee bit slower. I am basically retraining my brain to hear properly and re-learning the Irish language. At one time I was fluent but seizure disorder kind of mess with that. English is my first language, are used to be fluent in Irish and Scottish Gaelic. So I’m trying to relearn them now. Your channel is amazing thank you so very much for doing this. This was just the resource that I needed. I am legally blind so books are no help. I have hearing loss, so when you say it slower in is helping me to make sure that I’ve heard consonants correctly. Thank you thank you thank you. I know I keep saying it but thank you.

@Little Lad _"History is written by the victors",_ or as Napoleon said, _"what is History but a set of lies agreed upon?",_ and this couldn't be more true when it comes to WWII. There's a LOT of false information about WWII that have been rigorously spread and maintained as _Official historical truth_ by the government, the media, the academies, to the point where if you dare to study and question these lies you are immediately targeted, censored, sent to jail, or worse. On the other hand many gruesome facts are carefully concealed from the public, erased or swept under the under rug. It's the role of today's historians, school teachers, media to maintain the propaganda and brainwashing of the public and keep them thinking "the British Empire saved the western world" like you typically said, "the National socialists were evil", "they wanted to conquer the world", etc. *Churchill starved to death 4 million Bengalis.* Did you know that? He bombed 500,000 German civilians *mostly women and children,* pouring upon them acidic phosphorous fire, causing a slow, torturing burning and suffocating death.

Imagine a Chinese or German student learning English and worrying about whether to learn the New York or Texas dialect. Do I talk like Robert De Niro or Matthew McConaughey? 🤔🤣 To start your dialect will be "Stumbling Awkward Irish". Everything else will come in time. As for landscapes & heritage, Ireland is so small the drive time between the farthest dialects is literally 2.5 hours. Learn Ulster at breakfast then Munster at dinner. Lastly I have to make a point that nothing in Ireland is "pure". The culture is deep embedded mix of Scottish/Celtic, Nordic, Anglo, and much much more. There are more that a few kids running around with Polish-Irish accents these days. Just dive in and start swimming. ☘🇮🇪☘🇮🇪☘

Here's text for subtitle: Dia duit, agus fáilte do Gaeilge i mo chroi. You are probable wondering what I just said, but don’t worry, we will get back to that in a second. So as most of you probably know, if you are Irish or you are living in Ireland or you visited Ireland, That the use of the Irish language is pretty much non-existent. We see Irish on signposts. We hear it on public transport. Sometimes you get the Irish translation of places that aren’t even in Irish. For example, next station, copper and Kate’s Rinella. Copper, I really don’t see the point of that. And of course Irish is spoken in the Gaeltacht. Gaeltacht just means Irish speaking area. If you’re wondering why Irish people don’t speak irish anymore, Well, basically, the British. So the reason I’ve started this channel is because I have No.1 I have a passion for learning the irish language. No.2 I have met many people that have grown up in Ireland, But they had hearned Irish at school can’t really remember a lot of it, Or they never got the chance to learn Irish and they would love to speak it. In the words of Patrick Pearse: ”Tir gan teanga, tir gan anam.” Just as a disclaimer I was from Donegal, So I learned Alstive Irish So in Ireland there are a few different dialects of Irish, But I think it’s okay just for basic conversational Irish, like some my pronunciations will be different to people who speak Irish in Dublin or Galway. Anyway, let’s learn Irish. So when I started this video I said “Dia duit” “Dia duit” is how we say “hello” in Irish. So you’re probably thinking that sounds like two words. Well because it is. “Dia” means “God” And “duit” means, In this context it means with you. Dia duit is kind of like “God be with you” Or “God be over you”. And the reason for the religious aspect of that is because Ireland was always a very religious country. We did start off as pagans, But then when Catholicism came in, It became a very religious country. So that influenced our language in some ways. So you’ve learned your first word in Irish. A lot of you might have already known that if you are Irish. So “Dia duit” means “hello”. You don’t say “Dia duit” back. You say “Dia is Muire duit”. Going slower that is “Dia is Muire duit”. And that means “God and Mary be with you”. I think it’s quite nice. I don’t know there’s just something nice about like An old tradition like that my language. Conas atá tú. There’s a few variations I was brought up. I’m using “conas atá tú” That’s what I would say But they’re widely recognised in Ireland With different ways to say it So it doesn’t matter what part of the country you’re from If you say “conas atá tú”, people who speak Irish will understand you. Tá mé go maith. In most cases in Irish, when you want to start a sentence with “I am”, you would say “tá mé”. But that can change depending on the context of the situation. “Tá mé go hiontach”, which literally means “I’m wonderful”, “I’m in tastic”, “I’m great”. And then if you want to say “I’m not good”, You would say “Níl mé go maith” You want to say “awful” - “Úafasach”. So that a kind of difficult Úafasach So those are a few of the basic ways that you can respond `to “how are you”. We’ll get more into detail of How you can describe how you’re feeling. I’m moving on then to a few basic phrases. So you had say hello, then I said a little back. Say how are you, and you response of that. It’s three words. You say “le do thoill” Say thank you, you use four words “go raibh maith agat” So at the start of this video I said, Remember “Dia duit”, and “fáilte romhat Gaeilge mo chroí” “Fáilte romhat” is welcome to, But if you’re gonna say to somebody you’re welcome, Like somebody say “go raibh maith agat”, And you want to say “you’re welcome”, You would say “tá fáilte romhat”. My last llittle phrase I’m going to teach you is How to say goodbye. You can use one word just say “Slán”, Or two words “Slán leat” The last thing I have to explain is what is my channel called. So, my channel is called “Gaeilge I mo Chroí”. And what does that mean? That mean Irish in my heart. “Gaeilge” is “Irish”, “i” is “in”, “mo” “my”, “chroí” “heart”. The reason why I’ve called my channel that is Because I feel like sort of I speak English, And that’s the language I was grown up with. But any time I speak Irish, I feel like it’s something like in here, Like it’s something close to my heart. I love the language, I feel very confident when I’m speaking it. It jsut feels right, and I want you to feel the same way. So if you’ve enjoyed this video, And you would like to learn more about how to hold a comversation, we’ve done the basics how to starting a conversation. I’m going to be covering all of it in videos on this channel. So if you have any suggestions about Irish that you’d like to learn, Please leave the comment below, and I’ll try my best. In the meantime, head over to my Instagram and give it a follow, I’ll be posting daily with little Irihs phrases and sayings, Because I truly believe that if you’re learning a language, Then you need to be learning it every day, Speaking it a little bit every day, Or learning something new consistency is a key, When you’re learning a language. Thank you so much for watching. Agus, slán leat.

As someone from Irish and Scottish Ancestry, I really want to connect back to the language my family forgot!

thank you for this :D ive wanted to learn irish for years and years, mostly because i grew up in Ireland and my hole family is Irish, the only person that i know of in my family that could speak Irish was my Great granny {Grace Cleary} she grew up in Galway but she died before i was born ;-; , and i grew up in Omaigh in Tyrone so rlly it was because of the hole 800+ year war with Ireland and britan i wasn't allowed to learn it, ive always felt free when speaking my native language and i never rlly learnt how to pronounce it, because i learnt from books, so thanks alot this was Brilliant!!!

At the end saying Irish in my heart it brought me to tears I have never felt connected to a culture I could call mine and you gave this spark back for me thank you

One of the best introductory videos I've seen on this important subject. Presented in a direct and unpretentious manner, with an eminently sensible choice of words for beginners; all meanings clearly and concisely explained; Irish spellings helpfully included in on-screen captions (including fadas); and the presenter has a genuine passion for the language. Go raibh maith agat! I'll be sure to watch more of this person's videos.

I'm trying to learn a little irish as I plan to study in galway, where I have many relatives who speak the language. Thanks for making the video!

Native (Scots) Gaelic speaker, from an island with a Gaelic probably closer to yours than any other, in the Gaidhealtachd of Scotland. Loving your channel, and finding it wonderful how similar - how very close - our languages are. Gum beannaicheadh ​​an Tighearna math thu agus gun glèidh e thu sàbhailte, an-còmhnaidh. Barrachd cumhachd dhut!

Lovely Channel ! Keep going, please. ❤ I hope you can draw people your age into appreciating and embracing your culture. I was in Ireland for the first time last March (2023). It is my new "most-favoritest" country. You have so much culture and traditions and music and lovely pubs and breathtaking landscapes and sociality. 👍👍👍

I love your approach, your presentation, and you are a good teacher. Thank you. I plan to come to England, Ireland, and Scotland in 2024! Watching from Montana USA.

Can’t wait to talk with my bff from The mountains of Mourne near Analong ❤️ what is in your heart can overcome anything.

Thank you for this. You make learning soo easy

I had a chance to visit Donegal ten years ago, and the place has stuck in my heart. I am just a beginner learning Irish, and I appreciate your channel and enthusiasm! I will keep my eyes out for more videos!

This was really helpful, especially that you wrote how it sounded as well so it was a little easier to speak, and just hearing you speak helped. thank you!

Such a beautiful language. Thank you !!

Fascinating, as a welsh man I was looking for similarities, but so far it’s totally different!

because it's from the brythonic tree of celtic languages, not the goidolic

Awesome that you're trying to bring more awareness to the Irish language, as well as trying to help people learn! Best of luck to you guys, hope the language increases in popularity and usage! Lots of my family are from Newfoundland, and they originate from Britain or Ireland (not too sure, it's been a few hundred years). Newfies have this weird Irish-Canadian mixed accent, so when we all went down to the U.S. with the family for a trip, American's were thinking they were from Ireland! Lol

I'm an author, and my book series is about a young man from Donegal. I use a lot of Irish in the story, but as an American who doesn't speak Irish, I had nothing really to go on except what I could Google, and some standard Irish pronunciations. However, I saw mentions that the pronunciations in Donegal are not the same as in, say, County Meath, and always wanted to know what the differences were. Your pronunciation of "good day" immediately showed me one of them, and I was delighted. I'm so happy to have found a native of Donegal on these channels, and have subscribed. Thank you so much for doing this!

I've been working on it for a year though Duolingo, which is robotic, these videos are very helpful.
