  Don't get bogged down with grammar or pronunciation it's more important to be able to form sentences and express yourself. That's my opinion, Irish taught in our schools growing up was way too stressed about making sure we knew grammar. Led to most of us not being able to speak Irish at all.

  ​@@disappointedenglishman98 Good question. It was a politicisation enforced about a hundred years ago, designed to reassure those who never spoke nor intended to learn it (90+% of many) that it was nonetheless theirs, and in no danger of decay, now that the committee so assigned deigned to call it after their new nation, as if that would somehow preserve it. However, those who rarely heard or spoke English (the generation of my grandparents and great grandparents in many parts of Mayo and many other isolated western outposts) therefore never got the circular of the new politically correct term for their language, as those who initiated the change omitted to apply it in its Gaelic version, as probably none of them fully spoke nor understood it. If they had, and had they succeeded in their newspeak policies as much in Gaelic as they had in English, the Gaelic word for the language would now be "Éirinnis". I've always called it how I've always heard it called, in both languages. Call me old-fashioned.

  The phonetic script is important when studying a foreign language and the sad thing when trying to learn Irish is that it is often transcribed to suit a native English speaker. I'm not sure that this method gives the best and most accurate pronounciation. It may not exclude us non-native English speakers from learning, but learning how to pronounce the words correctly requires more effort compared to phonetic script. Besides, I think the phonetic script opens up for a better pronounciation from the start (at least it helped me when learning English).

  Really disappointed in you Patchy. I think there is a real double standard in the way you describe irish speakers. You never criticise the french influence on gaeilge na Mumhan. But the way Leinster gaeilge adapts to the English around it is "wrong" in your eyes. I think this gatekeeping attitude to the language harmful to gaeilge. Don't get me wrong you cannuint is more beautiful than my Gaeilscoil irish but it is not superior nor is it right and my pronunciations wrong. You should know better.

• 
  @patchy642Ай бұрын

  I beg to differ, and postulate that your criticism (what you couch as "disappointment") is in fact unfounded, misplaced. First of all, I don't describe "irish speakers", nor do I even understand the term, which I never used in the video. Nor do I mention nor understand "Leinster gaeilge". In this video I have simply described and warned against wasting time and effort with language-teachers who do not speak correctly the language they purport to teach. As to whether a language correctly spoken is superior to that same language spoken with foreign phonemes replacing its native sounds... Well, if "superior" simply means "better" (and it does, but with an added negative emotional charge), then yes, sorry, it is, and indeed vastly superior, now that we're bandying the term. Please watch the video again, especially the beginning with what Metatron; the Italian teacher; says, because I believe you've completely missed the point I was making.

  ​@patchy642 Disappointment, in this case, is when someone who you respect, and have learned a lot from share a opinion I would find problematic. It is not a criticism of you to be clear, but this opinion. My question for you who is the arbiter of what is correct. Both you and I understood the youtubers in question. Beatha teanga í a labhairt no? Language change and mutate over time as they interact with different influences. They likely have been language learning a long time. Gaeilge I mo croí seems to have some lovely introduction into some of the things beginners find difficult for example Apologies if I was projecting some of my own feelings on to your video. It does irritate me though when I encounter this attitude that I perceive as elitist. But I just can't bring myself to agree with you. Pronunciations vary from region to region if meaning is clear I just don't understand why you get to declare it wrong. It would be like a liverpudlian saying someone teaching afro-caribean English is wrong. ( obviously this example is extreme) but in my mind it is similar to someone from the west of Ireland declaring líofa lofa irish is wrong. Can they not be different branches of the same language tree and respect both? As for Metatron I wouldn't leave much stock in what he says. He has had a few questionable stances of late. Long after you posted your video to be fair. If it's not arms and armour or Japanese castles I don't put much weight on his point of view. To be clear I mean no offence to you. I just have a strong difference of opinions

  Go roibh maith agat as a bhfíseán son! I'm really glad to see the use of the seanaibítir! Just a small note on the broad r, it isn't more or less the same one that exists in English, in most variants of English (including most Hiberno-English accents), it is a approximant /ɹ/, whereas the broad r in Irish is a tap (or flap) /ɾ/. The English r is pronounced at the back of the mouth, the Irish r (broad and slender) is pronounced at the front.

• 
  @patchy642Ай бұрын

  Yes, but when said it phonetically slots into the acoustic range (the phonetic field) of only one of the Gaelic phonemes: the broad R, but not the slender R or any other consonant. Therefore, it's more or less the same, and I've even known correct, native speakers of Gaelic (notably one young lady from Inishmaan in Galway) use it in their normal day-to-day Gaelic speech, sounding a bit strange, but not incorrect.

  Thank you so much! I was raised in a bilingual household (English/Spanish) and therefore grasp the nuances necessary to express oneself successfully in different languages, as well as the need to be unafraid of exposure in order to learn. Irish is challenging in the US without immediate native speaking sounding boards. The last thing I want is to be learning goofy pronunciations. If I sound odd in a language, let it be because my syntax isn't fluid yet. I really appreciate that you not only dogged the bad influences out there but pointed learners in promising directions as well. You've got a new subscriber. I haven't been on Bite-size in months, I posted a comment that could not possibly be construed as offensive in any way and it was removed from their very lightly attended livestream. Also, I am very new but did notice among the channels you mentioned the vast discrepancy in pronunciation of even basic greetings, always casually written off to dialect. While I knew deep down dialects shouldn't be strong enough to affect base phonetics, (I find several languages fairly intelligible as a product of knowing Spanish, yet simultaneously can have trouble with a given Spanish accent. I think anyone who speaks languages can get that phenomenon.) I was trying to resolve that apparently Irish was just completely imprecise dependent on individual accent, or alternately so varied as to have non mutually intelligible dialects like that. Mystery solved. I'm oddly glad I had not become any more "knowledgeable" yet. Knowledge is power. Thanks again.

  Sure. You've got thirty-odd chapters to work through, each with its exercises at the end. There are, unfortunately, some misprints among these and their answers, but even so, you'll soon come to intuitively spot the errors. So, these chapters and their exercises take you from zero to something very like fluent, if you digest them well, and use and reuse what you learn along the way, that is to say, ideally you find Gaelic-speakers to practice with, if only light conversation, and lots of listening to the excellent Gaelic radio station, Gaeldom Radio ("Raidió Na Gaeltachta", it's called in Gaelic), especially their programs with lots of Connemara speakers ("Iris Aniar"). You could set yourself the goal of processing one full chapter per week, which includes always revising previous chapters every time doubts arise, and always drilling the audios lots, what's known as 'shadowing'. That's thirty-odd weeks. Incredible to think, but this book can pretty much take you to fluency in less than a year!
