You should never EVER pray to mary or the saints................it is paganism. Do not worship them as Gods. All prayers should be sent to either Father, Son or Holy Spirit.
If Irish people can begin to integrate the little Irish they do know into their daily or weekly schedules I think it would help the language to survive more surely. The idea of saying prayers in Irish is a good place to start in my opinion. Another one would be playing games eg cards or having gaelic markets or car boot sales in irish. Things like that would help. Opening up Irish caf'es is a good idea and its being done already. Things like that would help. Bua don teanga.
Beatha agus slainte, a Ghaelfhear! Ta me ag foghlaim Gaeilge le se mhi anois.
Until I improve my Irish I will try to ask you in Bearla- how is it possible that so few Irishmen/women speak their magnificent native language given that it is official and obligatory in schools ?? Slan go foill!
Is this done in the standard dialect? I'm doing a presentation on dialectal differences in Irish and it would really help to know what you're speaking here. Go raibh maith agat!
@xXFireChickXx Dia dhuit.... glad to help in any way I can.... I began learning Irish at a very young age. I learned to speak Ulster dialect since I went to School in the north. I have visited the Galway Gaeltacht a few times and I am quite familiar with this also. This has influenced my own accent which is a mixture of the two dialects. Hope this is useful information.
invaluable and thank you as I am writing a song to Our Lady in part Gaelic and in part English so it has a (hopefuly) broader appeal. Have all but finished it - just need to add the violin and find a way to upload. Constructive feedback would be appreciated
@aindrereecesheerin .....you could use the webcam on a laptop to record a video in AVA format. Once you have a video file its easy to upload to youtube. Just open an account and then press the upload button. You then find your video using browse to search your computer files. Press upload once you have selected your video file and it will be uploaded. It may take a half hour to upload depending on the size of your video. Good luck and post me a copy please. John
What does the dh sound like in toradh...is it just a d sound? What about Dé? At first it sounded like te, but then it sounded like che or jay. I think I got all of it but those couple parts.
You heard right. adh is pronounced as 'ah'. Dé is pronounced as Jae. In Munster the -adh can sound as 'uv' and Dé can sound as Dae. In Ulster -adh can sound as 'oo'. Hope its not too confusing. Dialectic differences can be a problem to learners. Standard Irish tends to go for adh = ah and Dé = Dae. toradh = torah. Ask a silly question. lol.
Tá an ceart agat. Your'e dead right. Standard Irish is encouraged in schools. However when you go to the Gaeltachtai (Irish speaking areas in the west) the dialects are very much alive and kicking. They all contribute to the inherent beauty of the language.

Would a west Cork dialect be different? If so, do you know of any examples online? Thanks for this video and the others!

@gaelfhear I'm guessing the ah and de in standard irish applies, because its more uniform and phonetic.
