Cam sròn i believe means bent nose and became the surname cameron. They earned that name from their love of a fight. Many thanks for what you do Jason.

Thank you Jason, for the work you do and the way you do it. I've been wanting to learn gaelic for so many years, and stumbling upon one of your videos a few months ago kicked me into actually start doing it. I take it slow (having a tricky brain that works against me most of the time) and I watch the same video more than once, and I really pick something up each time I watch it. The way you teach, I feel like you actually talk to me and and I feel so encouraged by your "glè mhath!". Keep up the awesome work. Cheers from Sweden!

I too agree Idenitet Jason is the best and he is great teacher I too am learning for five year no way a native Speaker yet but will get there.

Great teaching. That clears up where the 't' came from in the port town Stranraer, which comes from the Gaidhlig - An t-Sròn Reamhar (see map of Galloway coastline).

Really appreciate your message about hearing (and working in) what we are ready for. At times I feel my learning is stuck in weird spots but then I do notice little things to bring in...what a nice thing to focus on. As always your sheer joy brings a big smile!

So fabulous to have another video. I didn't realise how much I've been missing you Jason. I've finished both your courses and I just want more!!!!!!

Man, just thank you for every video you make! Helps me a lot to understand how the language works. Really, thank you

Mòran taing !!! I'm a French beginner learner and your videos help me so much !!!

Excellent video! Thanks for keeping these going. The genitive *is* big and scary! Could be a good standalone video. That, and past/present/future.

Excellent explanation again ….esp the grammar …and I’m one of those who don’t use the St lol …..it is really great how you do point out the differences in dialect ….that is important …..mind you for a person of my age, they changed the spelling of things and counting lol ……..we won’t go there lol Well done if many teachers took your approach more I would think would find it a good deal easier to learn our language.

I'm guessing "airgead" "airgid" share the same root as "argentum" for silver.

I think so, yes. They come from the Latin, if I remember correctly. 🙂

Yes, they are cognates with argentum, and the Welsh word arian is cognate with it as well - the modern Celtic languages come mostly from Latin and Norse and Gaulish / other previous pre-Celtic languages, so most words are actually cognates with the Latin / Norse words, it’s just that most of the cognates are used with different meanings and many of them were modified a lot to the point that they look like a completely different word, so it’s not so easy for most to recognize every cognate, but I am learning all these languages, and I come across lots of new words that are cognates all the time, and I am amazed to see how many cognates there are in all these languages!

What a great teaching style. I'm glad I found you as I'm coming back to learning Gaidhlig. I've been away for .... a while ;) . Excited to get back into it. I do love the language.

Thank you for sharing your time and knowledge (and humour) with us

Jason, you teach me so much Love your videos they are truly helpful and I am learning to pronounce the words as I hear you and also, I read children books in Gaelic

👍 Thanks again.

Gah! I'm just dipping into this, and I'm sure there are patterns for the vowels and the consonants and how they interact, because I have read a little about Gaelic, but wow, it's "worse" (more complicated) than either English or French spelling, which are very idiosyncratic. -- I'm sure I'll learn the patterns as I go, and then wonder why it seemed so weird, but...wow, that's a lot! Huh, OK, learn those patterns. -- Also, is it my imagination, or is there, very faintly in the background, the sound of chickens? Besides the whiteboard creaking as he writes on it, that is. Not judging. Chickens, fine. :D (My grandparents on both sides came from farming families. Big city life is recent, my parents' and my generations. So, chickens, fine.) ....If, however, I am somehow hearing something else and there are no chickens.... Yeah, never mind, back to the lesson.... Hoo boy.

Big help! Thank you!

That was very helpful, thanks

Lovely!

Do you have any advice for how to tell when a lenited consonant is silent? For example leabhar, book

@GaelicwithJason

2 жыл бұрын

That's a useful thing for sure, Racc. In my experience, the silent ones will be in the middle of words. Also, a FH at the beginning of a word will always be silent. Hmmm, that could be a useful short video. I'll add it to my list. 🙂

Julie Fowlis is a native Scots Gaelic speaker from Uist. She sung the Brave movie theme song. Most of her work is in Scots Gaelic.

What you’re calling a t sound, I always took to be a rolled r. Not a long Spanish or French rolled r, just one that was rolled once. In effect, I guess there’d be no practical difference, I was just surprised to hear it described that way.

Gaelic is a category 3 language, like Irish, so it can be quite complicated, one cannot learn it without detailed English explanations - Scottish Gaelic and Irish are the hardest languages I am learning, a bit more complicated than Hungarian and Latvian and Finnish etc which are category 2, mostly due to the spelling, which is very complex, and the fact that the pronunciation of most words is usually very different from the spelling which can take longer to sink in, whereas Dutch and Norse and Gothic and Icelandic and Welsh and Breton and Cornish and Manx and Faroese and Norwegian and Danish and Esperanto and Galician and Latin and Gallo and Italian and Slovene etc are some of the easiest category 1 languages, after English which is the easiest ever!
