  • Mhaith an fear! 

  • Maith th, fair play :)

  • I wish I could learn Gaelic. Very neat language and I hope it stays around for a long time. My ancestors on my mom's side were from Ireland. I wouldn't want to see it disappear.

  • Maith thú, físeán iontach.. Labhair í agus mairfidh sí go deo

  • Maith thú gas! Caithfear a rá go bfhuil tú ag déanamh jab thar chinn le sin. Cá bfhuil tú i d'chónaí? Cén chaoi go bfhuil tú ag eiridh le na chainiúntí éagsúla? Ná bach leis an ngrammadach seafóideach, ní bhaineann éinne úsáid as as Béarla so cén fáth gur dhéanann sé aon difríocht as Gaeilge ach oiread!

  • Fair play ghuit mo chara..Bhi me i Bhonscoil angus meanscoil ag labhairt as gaeilge ach ta se (almost) imithe anois..Sin cein fa ata me ag eist leat ag labhairt..Because maybe it will refresh the irish in me..But fair play to you for putting these videos up..I love the irish language,its beutiful!!

  • @MrSnozberry What is a good reasone to learn the Irish language?

  • painful...

  • It reminds me when I tried to speak French.  Just the effort to speak it is plenty. The grammar will come later.

    When I was in the MBA program at Penn State, I had foreigners in my group. It was sometimes comical when they made grammatical errors, but I refused to correct them. Eventually, they corrected themselves and stopped calling things "he and she".

    I say go ahead and make those errors. How else is anyone going to learn a language?

  • I think that a bunch of you need to step back and ask yourself what matters more to you... "Gaeilge cliste" or a dead language.

    I'm learning the language too, but people like you make it way harder to get up the confidence to try using it.

    I give this guy lots of credit. He's young- he'll probably be spinning circles around you bogheads in a few years.

  • Lean ort a stór!

  • People are mean. :/

  • hey give him a break! He is doing his best and making the effort to spreading our language to the world.

  • Comment removed

  • shut up at least he tried his best to speak the langauge

  • Maith thú a dhuine. Thig me gach aon fhocal a dhuirt tu. Is brea an gno an gno a bhfuil tu ag deanamh.

  • I stopped listening at1:22 after "Níl mé múinteoir". That's horrendous grammar dude

  • Stop saying 'go dtí go rinne mé' when you want to say 'since I did'. It's 'ó a rinne mé'! Its on your other video aswell and it pisses me off. Then for about two minutes you ramble on about how you said 'greannmhar' instead of 'gramadacht'.Its GRAMADACH!!!! And dont even get me started on 'níl mé múínteoir'.....AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!­!!!!!!!

  • Oh god the grammar... Have you ever heard of An Chopail? if not, look it up... you'd do well to

  • Dia Duit! Is mise Ray Ray!

    Is maith liom YOUTUBE! 

    IS MAITH UACHTAR REOITE!

    IS MAITH LIOM!

  • That's why I didn't post any language videos when you invited everyone to in one of your early vids...

    I wanted to, but was sure my grammar would be off.

  • grounver? how is it spelt?

  • what are you speaking?

  • gaelic dumbass

  • Okay what ever you say oceanbreeze...I mean

    ocean gust, fukin fag!

  • I'm a chick..

  • Ur Irish is Amazing

  • Lean ort a bhuachaill!

  • Thanks for posting these video's I'm part Irish American and I think it's sad that many Irish people no longer can speak thier language. It is a very beautiful language.

  • Maith an fear :)

    Ná tabhair meas le na daoine atá ag abair 'faggit' agus rudaí eile chomh uafásach le sin

    TÍR GAN TEANGA, TÍr GAN FUCKIN ANAM!

    lol

  • Your Irish is very good. I understand most of it but I have some trouble with parts. Irish was my first foreign language. Great vids.

  • ur irish is feckin brilliant...im learning it in school 10 years now and i still cant really put anything together..

  • Your Gaeilge might not be perfect, but on the plus side, I understand you much better than most others I've come across on YouTube or TG4. Funnily enough (no pun intended...), that's probably *because* you're out of practice and don't have all the idiomatic language that completely immersed Irish speakers would use every day!

  • :) Youre doing better than me, thats for sure.

  • great video! I'm American an my ancestors are Irish. I'm trying to learn a bit of Irish but it's tough! I hope the language continues to grow back!

  • haha right after talking about grannmhar and gramadach you made the mistake again hahahaha

  • Lmao i think it was me who told you that 'greannmhar' was 'funny' :-P

    you shouldnt worry about it though, for what its worth, i think its fantastic what you're doing for Irish ;-)

  • its grammar not grammer lol only prob there is see

  • Dia dhuit mó chara!

    You're Irish is MUCH better than mine..I've forgotten soooooo much...I'm in America now 15 years and have lost much... :-( Need to re-learn

  • Dia duit. Maith thu! Maith an fear. Thaitin se go mor liom. Go raibh maith agat for keeping an teanga alive. Taim ag foghlaim na Gaeilge(ta se an-chrua, gan fadas). You sounded ceart go leor to me.

    Gaelgeori don't speak an teanga perfectly, Bearloiri either. Na tog aon cheann de sin amadan Kiaranono. Boidh an diabhal acu! At least you're trying. He should write as Gaeilge if he so good. My only correction is in the English subtitles, the word is spelled "grammar."

    Tog go bog e!

  • "Níl mé múinteoir" classic

  • Rock ar aghaidh! Cool.. Cén fhaid a bhfuil tú ag foghlaim Gaeilge? You know what you're saying anyway and I know what you're saying so thats iontach!

  • Maith an fear! Fair play tya man.. I'm 17 & have been doin Irish in school since i'm 4 & i'm still not that good! I find it hard do put sentences in Irish together.. Fair play tho!

  • ta gaeilge nios fearr agatsa na an cuid is mo de mo chairde. sin an fhirinne. La naomh phadraig shona duit!

  • dia gwich, i think. well, thats all the irish i no.

  • there's no "w" in the irish alphabet

  • yeah that's how you'd pronounce it, but it's spelt 'duit' not gwich

  • That was awesome. Beyond awesome...Ive never seen anyone do a video in another language just because they wanted to before XD

  • Hey Kiaranono, what does it do to you, to think that some non-Irishman speaks your country's so-called "First, Official Language" better than you do?

    Canadians, Americans, Australians, NZ'ers, you name it, THOSE will be the saviors of the Irish language. Plainly Irish people like you are utterly incompetant when it comes to preserving your own tongue.

  • at least ireland has its own language does america have its own language i dont think so

  • Unless you count a few hundred indigenous ones.

  • There isnt Hundreds, theres like 10

  • In the whole of the continent of America? North and South?

  • Unless you count a few hundred indigenous ones.

  • Kinda.....called english. And if you say its the same as UK's english.....well you obviously don't live in US or know about the UK.

  • This bigot kiaranono is the perfect example of why the Irish language is gradually sinking into extinction. Kiaranono sees somebody actually using the language and promoting it, and the first thing he/she/it does is engage in a racist attack against the speaker.

  • every school in ireland teaches irish its not going to be lost just like that

  • Your videos are GREAT!.

    Don't listen to any of the people here who put you down or complain about your grammar in the comments section.

    I dont see any of them posting videos or making the attempt you are making.

    Good work.

    Keep it up.

  • I always find it funny how the down the country folks saw Gaeilge, gaoth, etc. Sounds so different to the Canúint up here in Donegal. Agus is fearr Gaeilge bhriste ná Bearlá cliste i mo thuirim ;)

  • fuckin inspiring to a yank like me trying to learn a language that his parents speak...go raibh mile maith agat!

  • My Nationality? *looks at borth cert* Oh what do you know I'm IRISH *checks residental record* Lived in Ireland SINCE BIRTH

    Perhaps you shouldn't be jumping to conclusions

    :P

    And I know my accent isn't the strongest of accents (and has a tendency to change by itself) but it certainly isn't asian.

  • ahh okok im so sorry man so sorry i didn't chek it^^xDD so gabh mo leithscéil!! lol ciaoo

  • is a Chinese baby who is not born in china not Chinese?

    im not born in Ireland but im Irish.

    my name is irish and my family can be traced there for centuries.

  • That's pretty harsh don't you think? OK we've established that actually MokongX3M IS Irish, but really, how do you expect Irish to survive if nobody but the Irish are allowed to speak it? You personally don't own the language.

  • no one ever made it a law that only the Irish can speak the Irish language

  • I don't know if that was a reply to me? If it was, I wasn't saying that there was any law, just that Kiaranono seemed to think that no body excpet Irish people had any right to speak the language. If other nationalities want to learn it or speak it it can only help the language survive and grow.

  • your videos are helpful, cause you talk slow enough for me to pick up on it, and the (mostly) constructive criticism helps to break things down. Yer a good teacher, like it out not. I've seen a couple of your videos... I don't remember how you learned the language. thanks

  • Hey just wanted to say i've been in an all irish school for past 14 years and you're grammer is a hell of a lot better than most ppl i've come into contact with so its not that bad

  • Your Irish grammar is all over the shop but maith thú!

  • "Unfuckle me kyart!"

    OK, *now* I know what he said, but only because I couldn't go to bed without figuring out what "unfuckle me kyart" means.

    So congrats, man. You taught me some Gaelic.

  • 28 seconds - Lá Fhéile Pádraig

    You said "daoine ag cur ceist liom." It's daoine ag cur ceist orm.

    1.18 - Níl muinteoir mé!

    1.52 - "Sa tús"

    2.04 - Na focail a tháinig as mo bhéal

    2.29 - Na focal a bhí mé ag iarraidh a rá"

    3.28 - I trácht thíos ansin

    3.30 - Chun mó chaighdean Ghaelige a ardú

    for the next ten seconds you totally butchered it, i don't know where to begin!ha

    Grammer is spelt GRAMMAR,that is English!ha

  • nice one, cheers for the breakdown :)

  • anyone lecturing the guy on his grammar shut up yer the reason no one wants to learn irish the gaelatcht nazis,culutral elitists.great video man go hiontach.

  • hello! Leaving Cert Irish student here, figured I'd post some comments on your grammar.

    At 1.07, it'd probably be more correct to say something like "Chomh maith leis na teachtearachtaí sin" Freisin isn't really the right word, and you're not pluralising messages. At 1.12, it should be "múineann" because it's present tense. At 2.08, it shouldn't be chuaigh, because that's went, not came, but I can't find my dictionary to tell you the right word. 3.17 greanmhar instead of gramadach again.

  • aon duine a bhfuil in ann caint as gaeilge, le do thoil, abair amach do cuid gaeilge mar ta mise liofa.

  • Níl mé liofa ach rachaidh mé leis.. comhrá atá i gceist agam.

    Nó b'fhéidir gur mhaith leat féachaint ar an bhfíseán thuas idir an dá linn. Mura bhfuil an sraith seo feicthe agat fós, seans maith go mbainfidh tú sult as.

  • Your a good egg!!!!!!!!

  • Your grammar is ok-ish lol.When u say múinteoir its "Moon-Chore" not "Moon-Tore", thats just a base that u mistake some of the "T's" when their ment to be "Ch's".Your grammar needs abit of work,like alot. Maybe use irish more or buy a Grammatical text book? but other then that Its awesome

  • you broke your camra T_T

  • ohhh wow so that's what irish sounds like. i have only heard and irish person speaking english with an irish accent and so would have never thought that this is what irish sounds like. thank you

  • MokongX3M, how do you say You are brilliant?

    lol because, you are absolutely BRILLIANT! I love your videos.

  • Tá tú go hiontach? or is that you are wonderful? hmm...

  • ahhh an-maith!!

  • you are seriously such a c.unt. What is the American accent goin on? Is the fringe back in fashion?? You made no point whatsoever, like every single video you post , mar shampla, the game that Ireland drew to San Marino... just rambling on... chuckling to yourself... Oh and that video of you with your "girlfriend"!! possibly the most cringworthy youtube post iv ever seen... "Give me a kiss".. oh lord the shame. Slan leat agus go raibh maith agat

  • u need help!

  • (directed at Carrick0160)

  • And yet you take the time out of your day to watch them all...?

  • an mhaith ar fhad!

  • Nunca perdáis vuestro idioma

  • Yeah, your grammar needs some work, but it's still great to see people speaking Irish on YouTube! :D

  • Dúirt sé "níl mé muinteoir"!!! Is é: Is múinteoir mé agus Is éireannach mé, is sasannach mé, is buachail maith mé, is fear mé srl

  • an botún is bunúsaí atá ann - is fuath liom é nuair a deirtear a leithéid...

    tá caighdeán cuíseach maith aige, ach tá na-chuid feabhas uaidh...roinnt ranganna b'fhéidir

  • a Ghaeil a chara, na bí ag gearán fa "bhotúin" sa teanga. is rud misláintiúil ar fad é go bhfuil fuath agat ar mheancóga fhoghlaimeoirí na Gaeilge. tá súil agam nach bhfuil tú ag dul a bheith i do mhúinteoir...beidh do chroí briste go laethúil!!

  • Just no. It is probably the way I Was taught, But it is just and My other classmates will agree, A Waste of time really. And Robjdaledge "Ledgend" Is spelled like this LEGEND, Back to the point, I Am currently learning German and a bit of French as well as doing Irish, And Irish too complicated the way we are taught, German and french - Vocabulary, Irish, Essay.. Huh?

  • your english doesnt seem to be too great, maybe should brush up on that. that way youd be learning three foreign languages french, german and english because if you consider yourself irish then english is as foreign as any other language that isnt irish..... is fíor amadán thú....

  • My English is as good as anyone else's. I Don't see how you can comment because there is a few mistakes there. And darragh, Home is where you make it, Ireland has and always will be my home,

    So please don't talk crap about considering myself Irish.

  • wat has "home is where you make it" got to do with anything? he wasnt saying ireland isnt youre home, the place where u live, just that it was an important for our culture etc. douglas hyde and patrick pearse seemed to think the irish language was an important aspect of being irish

  • Oh is brea liom an Ghaeilg ach tá mé foghlaim an chanúint Dúin na nGall. Tá sí difriúil...

  • Bhi me ag imirt "online" cupla blian oh shin, agus thosaigh diulach as Ceananda caint liom as Gaeilge! Bhi me gobsmacked! Ta an Gaeilge nios mo caillte agamsa anois. Gabh mo leathsceal, nil fhios agam conas a scriobh an fada ar an "keyboard". Ce hi an smartarse thios? ;-)

  • Ctrl+Alt+e=é

    mar shampla

  • hit the key you want and 'alt gr' at the same time(down next to your spacebar...)

  • ba mhaith liom thú a mholadh as ucht fís a dhéanamh as ghaeilge! is iarracht maith é agus lean leis! tá do ghaeilge measartha ach tá sé ag feabhsú an t-am ar fad ach amháin an fadhb 'greannmhar agus grammadach!' maith thú! molaim thú!

  • st patricks day in irish is lá fheile padraig

  • yes well done

  • hey leave irish alone!

  • the only reason u hate it is coz u have no pride.....go join the protestants and their protestant whore queen in england, you far darrig

  • I don't think having like 2 lessons for irish a week is enough, personally i think its easier to learn irish first then english.BTW IM SORRY FOR WHAT I SAID=[

  • You're fourteen, we all hate school at fourteen, or at least parts of it. I go to an Irish class where the majority are adults who DETESTED Irish the first time round...then they got older and they became aware of the facts of history and maybe they had their own children and then they realised how important their own language was.

  • It's a shame your teacher hasn't actually given you a reason to love Irish, but I don't understand why you would actually HATE it.

    Do some research on why you don't speak Irish, why the language (which is your birthright) is so inaccessible to you.

    If Irish was spoken by everyone in Ireland now, it would have developed and modernised just as much as English or French (it's doing well as it is though), and you would use it just like you use English now.

    Have an open mind.

  • lol its spelt Grammar

  • Maith thu- after all the years most of us spent sloggin in Irish classes in school you'd think we'd all be able to speak like you. You managed to have a four min conversation with yourself in basic Irish...so what if the grammer wasn't totally fluent. All you need is the core.....

  • Tá do Ghaeilge go hiontach! I take it in college, and I'm only a semester in. Are you self-taught? Really impressive. A tip for you is in your pronunciation I didn't hear some lenition where it should be "Mo ghaeilge" or do "ghaeilge". Singular possessive adjectives cause lention in the singular and eclipse in the plural. Hope that helped!

  • 3.16 u did it again u said funny wer u tryin 2 catch us out?

    ta tu sexy ha!

  • ah crap, nope that was a mistake again, haha, can't believe it happened again and i didn't notice... can't believe it too this long for someone else to spot it also, cheers

  • That was brilliant, i'm irish myself! My irish is terrible tho! But this video is interesting, if there was only more people like you who made more video's in irish, maybe irish would be worth while learning and maybe it would be more appealing and interesting haha!! Anyways, that was brilliant i'd never be able to say all that off the top of my head!

    Well done!

    Chloe.

  • haha I'm Irish and I learn Irish in school and you can speak better Irish than me! lol!

  • An leadranach ar fad! ni raibh tu ag caint faoi aon rud. bedir pioc piosa nuact or rudai suimiul agus caint faoi seo ar la naomh padraig.

  • Bhain mé taithneamh as. Is cuma céard a bhí á rá aige. Ní mór an líon daoine atá ag labhairt Gaeilge ar YouTube.

  • Bhain me fein sult as fosta. Shil me go raibh na h-abhair a raibh se ag LABHAIRT faoi (ni ag caint faoi!) suimiul. Ma ta tu ag deanadh go ndeanfa fein fisean nios fearr... dean e. B'fheidir (ni bedir!) nach bhfuil a chuid gaeilge foirfe ach, ar a laghd, ta se a usaid agus ag cuir ar dteanga chun tosaigh le meon dearfach.

  • Rock ar aghaidh!!

    lol

    Ah maith thú

  • because its our native fucking language thats the meaning of learning it, people died so we could speak it although we dont, we can.

  • Looks can be deceiving, i have zero connection with Mexico. Schools in Ireland teach Irish to kids.... they maybe just don't teach it well enough which is one contribution to the lack of it in general use these days

  • Cad é an Gaeilge le racist intellectual amoeba?

    With people like you around, there will always be a rich stream of pig ignorance in the gene pool!

  • oinseach cinioch = racist intellectual amoeba!!! .... and I couldn't agree with you more a chara!

  • It seems you feel really educated when interested in such a total waste of time .... that's why the world is so fucked up. Also, you sound like a NAZI, reliving those dead languages. Cuando quieras te caigo a patadas por ese culo: PAJUO! (I'm also able to insult you in other languages)

  • Please don't place your obvious limited cerebral resources under strain by attempting to insult me (either in English or Spanish). Your expressed bigotry and pusillanimous nature is insult enough!

    Suas do!

  • Ok ... Have fun in your Nazi and Skin Heads meetings, I bet you lead one of those ... One of these days the police will catch you and kick your ass to death. Pedazo de cabeza de guevo Oligofrenico. Debes ser mas feo que una mula muerta, ademas de asqueroso pedazo de excremento fetido.

    Sleep Well ... with your master... THE DEVIL ...

  • Actually, I'm a bit of a soggy liberal.

    Ádh Mór!

  • "Sleep Well ... with your master... THE DEVIL ... "

    seriously, are you six years old? listen to yourself.

  • Im irish too,you make me jelaous being able to speak irish fluetnly :( I can hardly spit out two words

  • Tugann tu ceadúnas do gach duine nach bhfuil gaeilge maith agaibh e a ra. Maith thu. Sin an sli an teanga beo a aiseiri.

    Just a comment on Angry aussies blog. You notice he said figurine many times. Guess where that 'english' word originates.

    And if you want to be nerdy that James Bond character Pussy Galore. Where did Galore come from?

    No Prizes for saying 'the ocean'.

  • Ah an AngryAussie fan too, that guy is bloody awesome

  • you said "gramver" in 3:17 again as grammar.

  • no i said "grammer", don't know where you got the "v" from :P

  • At 1:37 'their' should be 'they're'... glad you are staying away from teaching Irish since the English isn't too hot either.

  • I never tried to say my English was perfect either, my main concern when editing was the placement of the subtitles, this usually leads missing any spelling mistake as i pay little attention to that :p

  • no listen, you didnt go back and look what i meant is you said the word for "funy" (gramver?) instead of the word for grammer (grameducht?) I was the first to catch it NOT liklesmith.

  • Oh sorry i thought you were on about the subtitle, which is why i was confused, so i didn't notice. My bad, you spotted it first then :)

    because you spelt it wrong that's why i thought you meant the subtitle, i think it's spelt "grainmhear" (someone correct me... hell i bet some already put it in a comment, i'm just lazy to look, sorry)

  • funny is spelt 'greanmhar', and grammar is gramadach - there ain't no t in the spelling or the pronunciation

  • You're a fucking retard too

  • Irish people rule!!!

  • Awesome video.

  • Good job.

  • I wouldn't be the best at Irish either but you know a lot more than a lot of people do.

  • Rock ar adhaigh!!

  • Kap her lit lad!

  • you are cute and a dork.... i love it!

  • Maith an fear, is breá liom do chuid Gaeilge. Is cuma faoi ghramadach, labhraíonn tú an teanga bheo. Meas mór!

  • Iontach maith mo chara! Coinneál suas an dea-oibre! B'fhéidir sracfhéachaint a rinne ar do ghramadach, ach is gaeilgeoir iontach tú!!

    Oh...agus tá sé níos fearr (nó níos gaelaí dá laghad) "anuraidh" a úsáid mar "last year"!! Tóg bog é, agus maith thusa arís!

  • cheers for the tip

  • I've wondered for a long time about the lyrics of an Irish pub-song "Whiskey In The Jar", do the lyrics "musha ring dumma do damma da" mean anything and what does "whack for the daddy 'ol" mean. Hope you answer thanks.

  • doesn't mean anything

  • Some peoples comments on youtube is so annoying and ignorant, if you have nothing nice to say then don't post.

    Maith thú a Franklin, tá do chuid Gaeilge an mhaith. Rinne do cúpla meancóga mar a dúirt tú ''Níl mé múinteoir'' níl an ceart agat ar seo a chara, is é ''Ní múinteoir mé''.

  • Rinne tú féin cúpla meancóg (uatha i ndiaidh 'cúpla').... tá brón orm, ag magadh atá mé. Is fearr Gaeilge bhriste ná Bearla cliste :) maith thú Franklin!!

  • Lol, a couple of grammar mistakes there. ^_^
