Its a good idea, a meeting place for North American Irish speakers, I would have thought they would have done it in Newfoundland though where Irish was spoken up until the mid 1900's, Im sure there are people there who still have knowledge of it.
@culabula92 óir chan fhuil ach dornán beag de dhaoine a bhfuil cónaí orthu ann - gan fiú aon duine amháin acu ansin gach tráth den bhliain. lena choise sin, labhraíonn achan duine acu Béarla mar chéad teanga. is iontach an fiontar s'acu a fhéiceáil i ndáiríre; tá siad ag cur na teanga chun cinn agsu á múineadh do dhaoine nach raibh aon teagmháil acu léi riamh roime, ach chan ionann é sin agus a rá gur ceanntar gaeltachta é cosúil le Gort an Choirce, an Cheathrú Rua nó Baile na nGall.
is maith an rud le fheiceal gaeilge tharr lar, beith me ag dul cuig ceanada an tsamhraidh seo i toronto le mo dhreifuir, beith an shuim agam cuairt a thogail chuig an cheantar seo!! cuala me go raibh gaeltacht i newfoundland fresin???
An bhfuil sé fós oscailte? Bhí mé ag iarradh an suíomh idirlinn a fheiceal ach ní oibríonn sé. Is fada an lá a bhí aon rud deanta ar wikipedia comh mhaith?
Yup! This will happen over and over. People (foreigners) talking in Irish with funny accent. The same happens to other languages when foreingers learn it, esp. English. In the age of internet and plane travels this will happen more often.
He may not sound like a native speaker, but I know him personally. He is one of the few people to attend the immersion programs on the US east coast without having to lapse into english. A learner will never be able to trick you into thinking they're a native speaker, nor should they try...if only my Irish was half as good as his...
He sounds good, i guess yer man aint used to hearing Irish in another accent other than an Irish accent, its not often we hear it! He has good Irish, but poor singing! Ow!
That was interesting hearing the national anthems song in Irish, funny if anyone had told me there would one day be a Gaeltacht outside of Ireland i would have expected it to be in America somewhere like New York or Boston
Thing is, Nova Scotia was only a hairs breadth away from having Gaidhlig as it's first language in the 19th Century, Canada, especially Newfoundland and Nova Scotia, has always had strong links.
The story about how Nova Scotia missed out on Gaidhlig is quite silly really...
lol what an awful american accent
