    Im really loving these. I was born in Northern Ireland and live here too but my family is from Galway and I consider myself Irish, not British so I thought Id learn the language and embrace the culture like I should have done all these years. Thank you for helping me to do that.

    Chrissy Lee Stewart what a lovely, inspirational comment! I’m learning as well, love this channel! So happy to hear other people are learning too! I can’t wait for the day that Irish is spoken conversational throughout Ireland because it is such a interesting language as is the land and history. ☘️

    Thank you for this one! It made me realize just how Irish my mother was, culturally speaking. Although her Irish ancestors came to America several generations before her, she used a lot of these expressions all the time. Now I know they're not just common sayings here; they're really Irish. It's just another thing to strengthen the strong affinity I've always had for this side of my very celtic family tree, and I love it. Thank you!

    Omg I loove these! Soo much wisdom! They're all so good, but here are my favorite: 3:20 Mol an óige agus thiocfaidh sí - Praise the youth and she will come. Encourage the youth! 3:52 Ar scáth a chéile a mhaireann na daoine - It is under the shelter of others that people survive. 9:09 Ina dhiadh, a thuigtear gach beart - It’s easy to be wise after. OMG i relate 1000% 4:53 Is fearr lúbadh na briseadh - It’s better to bend than to break. 3:01 Eire ar phingin agus cá bhfuil agus an phingin ? Ireland for a penny - but where is the penny? Cool ones: Is geall le fleá bia go leor - Enough food is as good as a feast Is é an dias is troime is ísle a chromán a ceann - It is the heaviest ear of corn that bends the lowest. Is ait an mac an saol - Life is a strange place Anail na beatha an t-athrú - Change is the breath of life Is i ndiadh a chéile a thógtar na caisleáin - Castles are built one after the other There's just too many to list, actually x'D No matter how long it takes me, I'm going to learn Irish. It's inspiring to see someone my age so into it =') and you've a good sense of humour as well, love those edits lol.

    I was listening so closely! My g-grandmother had two sayings which have come down a couple of generations and, of course, are now unfortunately just gobbledygook! She must have said the same thing often enough for her granddaughters to have formed a memory but no one ever asked her what her sayings meant. I was listening for the rhythm and sounds which might reunite what we have now with such a wise and beautiful language. We do have flaithiúil which she used as a loanword in English. Best wishes.

    I hesitate to ask but in America, the University of Notre Dame always does an Irish Proverb/Blessing. "May the road rise to meet you.......rain fall on fields.. blah blah...." Is that in Gaelic? If so can you do a short lesson on it? Also, what is called Lord's prayer...ar n'Athair. Thanks. Love the channel

    This is amazing, all the subtlety in the proverbs. There was a TV program many, many years ago called Banacek. The main character would end the story with an old Polish saying. “ Even though the sun is shining, the cat still has her kittens under the porch”. I’m still trying to figure that one out.

    I like the stick beating someone‘s back one, because it‘s just a factual statement that can be interpreted 2 ways: 1. the victim doesn‘t make a good judge (if the stick shouldn‘t be cut) 2. it takes someone who has suffered injustice to fight back against injustice (if the stick should be cut). Like another Irishman put it, “he who suffered you to impose on him knows you”. Anyways, I think that proverb tells us that revenge is our friend :)

    There are three dialects of irish. This one is Ulster Gaelic and in school in Dublin we did Munster Gaelic. So the pronunciation, some vocab and grammar is different. I find Ulster dialect hard to understand. Sounds like 'kai' for 'caith' where we would say 'ka' etc.
