How close is modern Irish Gaelic and Scottish Gaelic? They must have come from the same roots, about 1200 years ago I think.
I remember the BBC series "The Highland Sessions" where Gaelic singers and instrumentalists from Ireland and Scotland got together and shared their common heritage. That was just great!
I would like to learn Irish but i'm still trying to figure out how to :( I was recommended an Irish CD thing and booklet on Yahoo Answers but i can't afford it really at the moment :(. My surname is Irish and i would love to know how to say it's Gaelic version, it looks so pretty. Jesjes1, can you suggest the best way to learn Irish Gaelic??
hi my name is teagan and i am irish but i have always wanted to learn gaelic and im so glad cuz this video was really good especially with the pronounciations
I'm in 2nd year now but I'm still really bad at irish!! I can have a small very basic conversion with someone but that's about it!! Having being taught it since junior infants (start of primary school, if you didn't know) I think I should be better but we're taught it so slowly it get extremely boring!
Its not Gaelic- it never was. Gaelic is Irish, Scottish and Welsh. Irish in Irish is Gaeilge-pronounced Gway-il-ga When the British took over Ireland ages ago English became our first language But everyone in Ireland speaks at least basic Irish because we learn it here from junior infants. There still are some Gaeltacht areas in Ireland where Gaeilge is the first language and people hardly ever speak English there. Hope that helped. But please dont go around calling it Gaelic-the Irish hate that
I haves lived in Ireland since 2007 and I remember that when I first learnt the languege I thought it was so hard! Also to Sebastian3719, the Irish for "gaelic" is "gaeilge"
"IRISH" MADE EASY" "Top o tha marnin to ya " Translation - "Have you any Guinness ?' "Erin Go Bragh" - "Erin sweetheart, can fit a pint into yer bra". "Padraigs quite a go-getter" - "Patrick's actually got a JOB".
Thank you so much..The name is Jake Dunlap, i came from a huge irish family and i have been dieing to back to the old country, this lass, has warmed my heart...good health to you...p.s. you have very beautiful eyes./
I don't really know... I see what you're saying! They probably said something else... or they just got down to buisness, and forgot all formalities :) lol... I don't know :)-
Thank you, was very useful. I live now since two years in Dublin and I still can't speak Gaelic! (ya, I know, shame on me) But now I really start to get in. So uhm go raibh maith agat and slàn leat!
It would seem that way, wouldn't it? But actually, to say "I speak Gaelic" is like saying "I speak espanyol" instead of "I speak Spanish." The word "Gaelic" is an anglicized version of the Irish term for the language (I'm not sure what exactly the Irish word is). So in English, the correct term for the language is "Irish".
I look up to you a lot for keeping the language of your ancestors alive! We are in the same situation here in Louisiana. Our old French dialect is dieing out quickly. Thankfully, there are still 200,000 people in the state who speak the language! Good luck with everything!
You are very entertaining to watch and make learning the language very easy! I already knew what the words meant, but it was helpful to hear it from a native speaker. Thanks for posting!!
You never just say 'cén chaoi' when you greet someone. You say 'cén chaoi a bhfuil tú', also the word 'slán means safe, sláinte means health. You say 'sláinte' or 'sláinte mhaith' good health when you want to say 'cheers'.
When you say 'slán' or 'slán abhaile' meaning safe home.
I love these videos i like laerning new things like this and just saying them and impressing people...Because it's fun. :) I teach it to them ofcourse. :)
thanks so much for your videos i'm czech and i'm trying t learn irish...i have no person who can speak it :D so i apereciate when i can hear pronnouncation,so go raibh maith agat
God i did'ny realise there was so many other countries and nationalities interested in irish!! its great to see that! I'm studying irish in Maynooth at the mo and its the best decision i ever made.. i love my language sooo much now!!
It was the Celts that were in Ireland first. "Irish" is gaelic, just alot of people call it Irish. This is because there are many different kinds of Gaelic. The Celts were mixed with the Vikings, than with the English, while they were united. But this is really complex history. I hope i helped :D It was a form of Gealic, well, at least that how it looks from the remaining Irish (Celtic) writings and myths. I hope I helpped! :D
It helped greatly. And thank you very much. My mother was black irish. But i have received many different answers, as to what these people were. Any idea? And your right the history is very complex. Thanks again. You might take a look at michael tsarions video's on youtube. He has some interesting theories.
My mother's maternal grandparents came from County Kerry. They had dark hair and blue eyes. My Mom told me that the reason some Irish people have dark hair,is because of Spanish sailors who were shipwrecked off the coast of Ireland. I don't know if it's true,but that's what I was told.
I heard that too from one of my relative's..Recently.. and many others..I think your mother maybe right. I think the irish and their history is a facinating topic..large overlooked in my opinion...thank you for the reply...
As much research is finally going into ireland's history. I think some amazing discoveries will occure, that lend credence to these idea's and other's.."Maurice Cotterell" is somone i enjoy greatly. He has written books about his own irish culture and many others that are worth a look.
@Jane1620 the vast majority of irish people have dark hair, nothin to do with the spanish or anyone else, just us- there is a stereotype that we are ginger with fukkin freckles but jayzus i know on average 1 ginger per 100 people- there are loads of gingers in scotland it is there characteristic not ours
no there are some all Irish areas in the country but most people know hardly any Irish at all! Everyone has to learn it in school though but its not taught very well in my opinion im good at Irish but only because i went to an all Irish primary school
simply due to the fact we're not taught it properly in school. Please tell me how an American can learn irish in one year yet intelligent students learn it for about 12 years and we still cant string a proper sentence together
yet after 2 years of spanish/french etc we know more of that language ,
Lovely! :D I am just trying to learn enough Irish to hold a simple conversation with someone...and this was very helpful! I am also learning from a podcast...some of the things you teach are different from the things on there. AHH regional differences! Confusing!!
Jess, if someone were to say "Slan tamall" to me at the end of an email. Correct me if Im wrong but does that mean, talk to you in a bit or something like that?
jes- Go raibh maith agat-> for your help! i literally study your videos like homework (only this is fun of course), also, thank you for putting the captions and the word-for-word in the description panel everything done the way you do it is so helpful! :) smiles and a hug from chicago
To answer your question, Yes I love your new hair. I loved your old hair too. But in the newest video it looks like you pulled a Bald Sinead. Please tell me it's an optical illusion ;-) Either way, best of luck with RTE - it looks like you are beginning a very succeessful career. Congratulations! ps Love the Irish minilessons.
hi jesjes i am half irish and half english my mom has been teching me gealic and she is from dunleire county dublin and by watching differnt gealic videos i have learnedthe gealic differs from differnt parts of ireland like cork is all high-pichted and i was wondering is you could do a video on the different accents in gealic.
i'm almost full irish and my grandma has been doing the same thing and when my cousins come over from ireland and they try to teach me and my cousins. we are from county cork.
Difficult language. But it has a pastoral beautiful meaning. I heard it when I was in the western part of Ireland and it almost had a Nordic sound, and even an Indo European sound the latter actually where the Celtic people have their ancient beginnings.
I wish i payed more attention in school, all i really remember is "can i go to the toilet"and you gotta know that or you aint going nowhere. I think it was" An bhile chead agum dulgode an letterus", i know i just butchered the Irish language but i gotta learn it again.Thanks for these tips.
thankyou..very informative - I am trying to learn the language and am using 2 different progams and they pronounce things differently between them - maybe different dialects - I noticed your greetings are slightly different too to what I have heard - its very nice to hear a native speaker and appreciate you sharing your knowledge
Im 16 from australia and tomorrow i have to put on an irish accent for a school English performance! Even though im half irish, and went there last year its so easy to get confused with pommy accent if ur an Aussie!!=] you have no idea how much that just helped me!!
Cad é mar atá tú from Helsinki, Finland! Am going/coming to Ireland 31.8. and i´m waiting for it so much. Your language sounds so nice, and the way you speak englihs sounds great too! Tóg go bóg é...
hi there. my name is justin. i live in los angeles. and i am preparing a scene by the irish playwright connor mcpherson's play, "the weir."
so i have a strange request. could you pleae record yourself reciting the scene where jack is talking about watching the love of his life getting married...
i don't know how i could ever pay you back...but anyway that i can i will.

To answer your question, Yes I love your new hair. I loved your old hair too. But in the newest video it looks like you pulled a Bald Sinead. Please tell me it's an optical illusion ;-) Either way, best of luck with RTE - it looks like you are beginning a very succeessful career. Congratulations! ps Love the Irish minilessons.

Difficult language. But it has a pastoral beautiful meaning. I heard it when I was in the western part of Ireland and it almost had a Nordic sound, and even an Indo European sound the latter actually where the Celtic people have their ancient beginnings.

I wish i payed more attention in school, all i really remember is "can i go to the toilet"and you gotta know that or you aint going nowhere. I think it was" An bhile chead agum dulgode an letterus", i know i just butchered the Irish language but i gotta learn it again.Thanks for these tips.

thankyou..very informative - I am trying to learn the language and am using 2 different progams and they pronounce things differently between them - maybe different dialects - I noticed your greetings are slightly different too to what I have heard - its very nice to hear a native speaker and appreciate you sharing your knowledge
