Wonderful to hear, a charaid. I'm glad you're here. 🙂 Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Do date one if not the best Gàidhlig teachers on KZread! Tapadh leibh a thidsear agus slàinte mhath!

Fantastic video, well explained and a lovely personality to deliver it. I can’t thank you enough for providing free material for those trying to learn on a budget but hopefully soon I will be able to purchase one of your courses to get a more structured approach to learning by Gaelic. Tapadh leat!

Tapadh liebh Desan. I like the word 'an-earar' - the day after tomorrow. Bidh mi a' cluich ioman anns a' t-Aodann Ban anns a' t-Eilean Sgitheanach an-earar.

I listened as I was driving and was surprised at what I understood. It was great to get the "why" of it.

Interesting watching these vids and noticing the similarities between Galick and Manx Gealg, eg Kiart dy Lioor as in ok, well equates to Ceart gu mor, and Fastyr Mie for good afternoon. It would make sense as they’re both from the same stem language but gealg spelling influence by English Great vids by the way, very peaceful if that’s the word

Brilliant as always Jason.

thanks very useful to me..

Excellent! Well explained in a natural, easy way.

Such a pleasure to learn from you . So good 😊

Loving these videos. We moved to the Outer Hebrides from West Wales this year. Love that some words are similar in Welsh and Gaelic.

This is a great video. As usual, I will have to watch it about 20 times before I recall anything! Or so I thought..until I listened to Sporscast on BBC Sounds today and recognised "ball-coise", some days of the week and "sin ceart" ! Thanks Jason!

Thank you!!! I will watch this going to sleep, not quite paying attention, and it will be all the more familiar when tomorrow comes. The thought of doing your course after my exams are finished is keeping me going! I'm also very excited to see the intermediate course is finished, and that it's about folktales and history, wow... I know the stories in English but the idea of being able to read them in Gaelic is such an amazing motivator. That's a long way away for me yet, but still, knowing that there are good intermediate resources out there is welcome indeed.

Fantastic, thanks

I just found your absolutely wonderful channel and so greatful for the amazing work you are doing to teach and keep this beautiful language alive. I'm from Australia with a Scottish heritage and I try to ask my family who speak Gaelic words and phrases but find it difficult to learn but I'm still very eager to learn. Keep up the amazing work 💚

Great video as always. Tapadh leibh a thidseir! Watched another video on learning Gaelic and Bruce Fumey says "Turn down that guitar "

Thank you so much for your wonderful videos. It's so much fun learning Gaelic with you! I have learned that you also offer courses in one of the comments. Is that true? And how can I subscribe? Grateful greetings from Bavaria!

I love watching your videos, Jason! I am just starting out learning Gaelic after many years of listening to audiobooks narrated by Scots (including Outlander 😂) and I always wondered why the characters spoke this way (“Will you be wanting…” “He will be doing…”). Now it makes perfect sense. Mòran taing!

Thank you for your videos! Truly helpful for learning a’ ghàidhlig! Also could you make a video of grammatical cases and how to use the genitive and the dative for nouns that still have it (like cionn, dat. sing. of ceann), and occurrences of the dual number (like how you have one "clach", two "cloich" and multiple "clachan")? And would you know of any site or dictionary where I can find all forms of Gaelic nouns? (Like cases and number)

My pleasure, a charaid. 🙂 I am working on how to explain the cases as clearly as possible with as few words as possible - and pictures. Once I figure out how to do this, I'll put the videos on here. From what I can tell, dual numbers and dative forms of nouns aren't seen all that often in modern colloquial Gaelic - at least, not as often as they used to be. If you're interested in those, Scottish Gaelic in 12 Weeks has a small section on it, in addition to lengthy noun declensions and such. If 'grammar speak' makes sense to you, that book could be a real asset to you. 🙂 Personally, iy's my reference book of choice. Take care and I hope the rest of your week goes well!

Thank you Jason for answering. You are doing a great job teaching gaelic.

Hey, I noticed you pronounced dèanamh with an 'oo' sound at the end but normally you'd pronounce it with a V instead, is this because of the word after it, or are both pronunciations acceptable?

@AndyB1286

As far as I’m aware it’s regional. Both pronunciations are acceptable. I use the “v” sound myself.

@GaelicwithJason

Yep, just like Andy said, it's regional. I tend to lean towards the 'ooo' sound myself, partially because it's not immediately obvious. Hearing me say it over and over will help you acquire that variation so that you'll recognize it quickly when you hear it. 🙂
