Go raibh míle maith agat!
I am brand new to learning Irish. I’ve spent two weeks on Duolingo and have learned over 180 words and phrases so far, but I’m really a beginner, and this seemed to cover nuances and subtleties that an intermediate student would need to know, but I’m still trying to find out how to pronounce Dia duit! (I’ve heard it several different ways), and why is there an “h” in some versions of a word but not in others? (Ghaeilge/Gaeilge? Bhean/Bean?) I haven’t learned the days of the week or the numbers yet. I will check out your other videos, but what I need are slow and clear explanations of pronouncing basic words and spelling patterns (by a human rather than a computer). I teach French as a second language and English as a first language, and I have also studied Italian and Spanish (and language acquisition theory), so I have a good understanding of how to learn a language. I know my students would be overwhelmed if I tried to get the beginners to remember all the grammar rules and exceptions that exist in French. Thank you for this, though, I can see I have a long way to go.
Music is annoying
Interesting but please speak mire slowly!
You can choose a slower play back speed!!
Thank you very much
So this was rather brilliant. How do we access full content?
Hi Angie, thanks and super happy that you enjoyed! The start of the video contains details on screen on how to register. Essentially just head to Patreon.com/learnirishonline and register for a free trial, before paying €7/month to stay on longer if you wish. GRMA! Any other questions just let me know
@@LearnIrishOnline I had my Irish tutor listen to this and he gave it a 2 thumbs up (a first, I assure you) I was wondering how many of these Éist Arís exercises are currently available, and how often do you post a new one? Apologies for missing the registration info at the start of the vid >.< Please keep up the good work. It is so hard to find accurate Irish lessons on line!
@@angiem3068 No problem Angie. There are over 20 full episodes of Éist arís available, and over 130 other videos/podcasts available to full members. With two/three more added every week.
Will this be school Irish or native irish
I wish TG4 would also have irish subtitles on some programs as the English is great but i dont what was actually said in irish as it to fast at times and would be great yo replay and repeat the phrase or sentence ...esp for peeps with me with mediocre irish ....😮 Could you have a gearr fhocail with them 😁
I'm so glad to find a news website as gaeilge that actually reports on the news that people outside the gaeltachts might care about. That being said, surely the people in the gaeltachts also want to know all the interesting stuff going on in the world that is normally not covered in Irish-language news for some reason.
Ceacht iontach. Go raibh maith agat.
Very helpful! Thank you.
Liam, Grmm agat arís. Conas a labhraíonn tú an Ghaeilge comh soiléir? Tá an fiseán seo simplí agus suimúil. Déanfaidh tú na daoine go léir ó Éire dul go dtí sa Spáinn! Ní féidir liom Gaeilge a labhairt mar a lán daoine Gaeilge ,in ainneoin ceithre blian deag á caitheamh é ag foghlaim sa scoil. (Caithfidh mé a rá 40 blian ó shin). Ach ceapaim go bhfuil suim ag teacht ar a lán daoine anois san dteanga, buiochas leatsa agus le Manchan Magan. Tá brón orm ar na mbotúin , táim cinnte go mbeadh mil marcannaa dearga ar seo i mo chóipleabhar sa scoil!
What's the annoying music for?
You know, if you found the music annoying, there's a way you could have phrased it more constructively 💫
@@smurfy567 Sorry. Didn't mean to be curt I am famously laconic
@@grf1426 all good, just thought the first comment under a video with effort put into it deserved to be more chill 😅 have a good one
@@smurfy567 your vids are excellent. I love them. See - praise where praise is due. More please
@@grf1426 it's not my video, I'm just a subscriber, here to sharpen my Irish. Unless, you mean the bike videos on my channel from when I was a teenager, in which case - thanks 🤣
Tá Teanglann is hiontach! Is iontach an rud é Abair.ie maidir le foghraíocht a chloisteáil i gceantair éagsúla na Gaeltachta. (Teanglann is great! Abair.ie is great for hearing pronunciation in different areas of the Gaeltacht.)
Thanks for the tips. It was difficult to hear you well over the loud background music, particularly later in the video.
Thanks Liam. It's good to talk about how to practice the language. I am 71 years old and I did get my leaving cert. but I have lost a lot of the Gaeilge over the years. I do think classical teaching, as I have known it did not help when developing 'speaking' other languages. I am Irish, an English writer, living in the Netherlands and I am picking up my Gaeilge again, thanks to you.
In Munster we have more contracted forms for an modh coinníollach - rithfeadh muid = rithfimis, rithfeadh siad = rithfidís. But it's probably easier for learners to just remember rithfeadh.
Táim ag foghlaim na foirma Muimhneach mar ta mo chairde cainteoirí dúchais as chúiige Mumhan. Má tá aon rudaí mícheart le mo gramadach ná bí buartha chun mise a cheartú. Is aoibhinn liom do chaineal chomh maith, an mbeidh aon físeán eile uait sa todhcaí?
Hello @AnGhaeilge. Do you pronounce the "f" in rithfimis and rithfidís in Munster Irish?
@@LynnMGallagher More or less like a "h"
The music is annoying And unnecessary
Cheers Gerard!
That was interesting. However, I lost confidence in you when I reached number 10, as there are errors in the English text.
Grma
At fheabhas. Go raibh maith agat.
Beautiful language and you do a wonderful job teaching and explaining. If I may, are there any books that you might recommend that contain word pronunciation?
Good to get these broke down like this. Very helpful. Are there more like this?
Yep! 14 others available for full members, with more being released all the time. Plus a whole archive of similar shows (Ag Aistriú/Topic Breakdowns/Gaming Vids/Léigh Arís/Botún nó Dhó etc..). €7 a month but there's a seven-day free trial available over at Patreon.com/learnirishonline GRMA Liam
The whole "dé/ar an" thing is mostly because people don't know that "dé" is the dative of "dia" and that it takes the genitive form of the day name. There isn't really a "second system" here like there is with numbers. Mind you, putting that in a beginner friendly way isn't easy, and it doesn't help that déardaoin is such an oddball or that the dative case is mostly in its death throes.
Now, the bit about numbers with plurals isn't exactly correct. If I were to say "trí shicín", I'm talking about three chickens as a group, but if I say "trí sicíní", I'm taking about three individual chickens. You can use plural, but there's a semantic difference there.
Trí sicíní is the traditional phrase.
Can you please make a video about verbal adjectives and how to make them please
Hi Scottie! Check out my video on the perfect tense (it's members content but I put it on KZread as a free taster). I mention how verbal adjectives work there. The best place to get them is either in the last column of a glance card, or in the grammar tab on teanglann.ie/focloir.ie. Hint for you, they'll always end with a vowel! GRMA
Féach ar AnLoingseach ar KZread.
Tá sé an úsáideach! Go raibh míle maith agat.
this is really helpful, the fact that you are breaking down the grammar rules BUT also that I am hearing you pronounce it and I can see the spelling... There are several videos as Gaeilge on YT but many don't have proper subtitles...or they are speaking way too fast...and then conversely, some books I have don't have cds etc so I have NO idea how to pronounce them, and teanglann is honestly a tad confusing for me lol. ...so it is nice to see it slowly done. Go raibh maith agat!
Go raibh míle maith agat! Really appreciate the kind words, that's exactly why I started LIO
You forgot the past negative! Níor múintoir í?????

Great video, can I just ask at time 13.28 Is í an múinteoir is fearr………. How come múinteoir doesn’t get a “h”??
Hey! Thanks very much. It's because 'múinteoir' is masucline, even if it's a female teacher.
Is brea liom an cúige Uladh Gaeilge freisin.!!!!
Fosta.....
Chuckie ár rí!
Around 05:00 the discussion about 'ceist mhaith & ceist t(h)ábhactach'. I don't hear the séimhiú on 'tábhachtach' but I think it could be there and the final -t of 'ceist' is making it seem like there is no séimhiú on 'tábhachtach'. But the discussion of what's going on focuses only on maith -> mhaith and the absence of pointing out that anything is going on with the 'ceist t(h)ábhachtach' then makes me a bit suspicious again. If the point is to explain the effect of when to use a shéimhiú then I'd think the explanation should point out it's going on with both adjectives. But it could be happening (and is hidden by word-final 't' of 'ceist') but given it's not referred to, just really confused me. What's actually going on here? Hoping to become Patreon supporter soon!
Hi Alex, hope all's well! Good point. As you hint at, it's virtually impossible to distinguish 'ceist tábhachtach' from 'ceist thábhachtach' when there's no major gap between the two words, but in written form it should be 'thábhachtach', following the same rules as 'maith' to 'mhaith'. Sorry if I didn't point this out, I probably didn't stop to think about it myself, as when listening to it you can't even hear the 'h' Looking forward to seeing you soon on Patreon! Plenty of content for you there to get stuck into.
Is múinteoir den scoth thú, Maith thú. Go raibh maith agat as do chuid físeáin a roinnt.
Míle míle buíochas Liam! Go raibh maith agat as a bheith ag féachaint
Grmma ach I still don’t get it!😉
GRMA Jason! Don't worry, I barely understand myself haha!
I’m going to have to watch this a lot more than once. Now ‘once’ there’s a number for you. Is that one time or is it a cat of another colour?🤫
I wanted to watch this for review and was happy to learn about 'an dá' and the 'an t-aonú is fiche' quirks. One thing that also threw me a bit, but wasn't really clarified, was in the example test for "the sixth person", I put "an séu dhuine" because of the 2-6/7-10 rule (also helpful to have it named as such, for me). But it seems that only applies to cardinal numbers and not ordinal. Could be good to remember that it's probably a trap new students would fall into, because we're not told (in any book I've seen, but it's probably hiding in the details somewhere) about no mutations on following nouns with ordinal numbers. GRMMMMA!
Haigh Alex. Go raibh míle maith agat as an tacaíocht mar is gnách! That's a very good point Alex, and yep, it is something I maybe should have clarified. The 2-6/7-10 rule applies essentially when the English sentence has a number on the noun (e.g. six people, six dogs, six books), in other words, when you're telling me how many of something there is. However 'sixth' isn't really a number (yes, I do realise I called them the ordinal numbers, maybe adding to confusion haha). If you say 'the sixth person' I still don't know how many people there are, compared to 'six people', where I know there are six people present. So rules such as 2-6 won't apply to 'an séú ' Hope that makes sense 😊 GRMMA!
It's sinking in! Thanks, Liam. We are so lucky you turned your hand to this and help out so many, filling in the resource gap that exists for Irish. Really want to get financially better off and then sign up to your courses and teaching. In the meantime, this is really helping.
Thanks Alex, really appreciate the support as always! Made Easy number 5 on the way next week 🙂
To help your viewers further, I find A Grammar of Modern Irish the most comprehensive guide on usage.
Great videos (1 & 2). The pennies have dropped at last on both the passive and conditional tenses after years of trying to get to grips with them.
Ar fheabhas! Go raibh míle maith agat, ,ba mhór an cuidiú é!
Could you do few videos to learn basic Irish?🙏🙏🙏
Hi Zoe! Have you checked out our beginners course on learnirishonline.com ? It has everything needed for someone with no to little Irish (past/present/future, greetings, pronunciation, is/tá, prepositions, comprehension, resources, etc..) Let me know if you want more info GRMA!
These videos are great, an enjoyable way to learn and really well explained
How would the third person be pronounced in gaeilge uladh where “dh” tends to be pronounced differently?
Go raibh maith agat! Rinne tú sin go heasca!
Post maith a Liam! Dhéanfainn níos dona ná thú. Is maith liom fiseáin cosúil le seo!
Go raibh míle Dave!
