  • I love the videos.

    BTW Funny Thing. In portuguese (my language) ''conas'' (how??) is in portuguese : vaginas.

    NO kidding.

    =)

  • great video..cunis a taw too....that will work

  • this is so cool. Tricky and scary.

  • I'm American, part Irish, the Irish language is a very beautiful and ancient language.

  • 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!

  • thank you ^^ this is very helpful, me and my friend are doing a presentation for english, oral exam about the republic of ireland ^^

  • can you tell me how to say " live free and be happy" with proper spelling in irish and then can you give the pronunciation. thank you in advance!!

    I LOVE YOUR ACCENT!!! Its very beautiful!

  • funny , we say " Como estás tu" (how are you) in portuguese and in Irish " Conas atá tu" , so both languages have Latin influences , cool =D

  • are there any books or anything to learn irish?

  • GREAT video, and yes, there aren't enough of them. Your delivery was fabulous and easily understood. Thank You, and God be with you.

  • Thank you for the lesson.Ralph.

    Agus gurá mile mile maith agat. Bimse buairte buan gán ló!

  • you are the most butters irish thing ive seeeeeen in lonnng

  • Oh my goodness! Your accent is adorable! <3

    Ahahaha!

    Your videos are very helpful! Thanks for posting :)

  • Cool!

  • Cad é mar atá tú? sounds so much like the Australian "good day mate". Wonder if there's some history with those :)

  • Why couldn`t ppl speak just plain english, so everybody could understand eachother??? it sounded garbage to me...

  • What an ignorant thing to say. Gaelige is a classical language.

  • Thats a boneheaded thing to say.

  • which is very difficult, because the spelling doesn't accord with it!

  • Thanks for giving the pronounciation!

  • 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??

  • She is so beautiful she make me want to take off my brog and smash my céann with it... I'm learning irish now

  • 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

  • Amo cada vez mais a língua irlandesa... é encantadora...

  • jesjes1,what is your email?if you care to give it out,to talk?

  • Ar fheabhas, go raibh maith agat as an ceacht a thabhairt dúinn. Bhaineas an taitneamh as.

  • 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!

  • i am irish and speak english to but aint it funny we have all these nice words and meanings but people know us as drunks

  • HAHA!!

  • @sheepcurry you got that right ppl in my school call me a drunk all the time

  • @sheepcurry but, I thought you guys were proud of that?

  • I love as Gaeilge. It's complexities intrigue me. Unfortunately there are no Gaelige classes in my area.

  • Go bpléasca scata Fomhórach ólta do dhiosca crua

  • I have one question, is gaelic spoken by all the irish??My grandfather was irsh but i don't remember him speaking gaelic.

  • 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

  • Thank you for taking the time to do this Jes, most helpful.

  • wish there was a way i could outrigh just learn irish its a bleeding beautifull languige

  • Go raith maith agat. :)

  • raibh*

  • 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".

  • Is there very much difference between "Irish" Gaelic and "Welsh" Gaelic ?

  • One look at YOU, Jess, and I want to fly to Dublin tonight !!!  Hmmmm Aer Lingus...

  • 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 :)-

  • @kisstheirish05 The Pagans had their gods... but I don't know about the Mary part!

  • "Gugh row ah mah ag-uth"

    God above dubs can't pronounce Irish at all.

    Learn it from the west!

  • ^^ ; Álainn hehe

  • 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!

  • nice upload. i'm fascinated by Celtic languages, so i enjoyed this.

  • very nice language

  • haha wow

    not to sound ignorant

    but I didn't even know irish was a language.

    I just thought it was an accent

  • i think the language is Gaelic... to say it was "Irish" would be like saying Americans speak "American"... but then again, i could be wrong

  • Fair enough

  • 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".

  • fair enough. you sound like you know what you're talking about, so i'll go with it

  • it's jee-ah ghuit

    not dee-ah

  • im irish but only know how to say slan

  • what if i am the person who's leaving.. do i still say 'slan leat' or should I say ''slan agat'?

  • Great! Thanks a Million! I have a little pub act singing the traditonal tunes, and this really takes it up a notch!

    You rock!

  • 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!

  • Go raibh maith agat :)

  • thanks for the energetic and wonderful preaentation. tou make it easy and btw you are gorgeous!

  • this language is awesome! not enough people speak it!

  • by the way, how do you say yes and no?

  • I like your new haircut :)

  • 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!!

  • If a 1st person says "Dia duit" in greeting and a 2nd person says "Dia's Muire duit," what would a 3rd person say?

  • Once you bcome a Druid or a born again Pagan Celt you might want to say "May the God and Goddess be with you".

  • Comment removed

  • im irish

    its a fun language to learn

  • I don't think this video in Irish is very good.

    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.

  • Are You From Belfast .?

  • Wow... thanks :) :D Umm... do kids learn it in school? o O

    Greetings from Sweden

  • thank you so much jesjes1 yes this video was so important for me ... to lurn a bit of irish thank u so much again... :)

  • i love the sound of this language, it's beautiful

  • God be with you - that is impossible there isn't one!

  • scottish gaelic all the way!! alba gu bráth!

  • scooby dooby doo

    ca bhufil tu!

  • what i find interesting is that "tu" in Irish is the same as you in Spanish...neato

  • a lot of languages use "tu" for "you", like the other romance language like french, italian, portuguese and romanian

  • Very nice, go raibh maith agat for this video!!

  • Is there a need for this? Why did you say that? You fool.

  • fuck off

  • OMG this is so complicated :P Rather haveing a few Scopes than trying to understan this :)

  • do u have a facebook account? id like to add u on there. think ur vids r great

  • Wasn't gaelic brought to ireland? Their were people in irelang before the gaels. So what was the original language?

  • 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...

  • A few years ago, my sister and I and my son went to Ireland. The tour guide said the same thing about Black Irish.

  • 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

  • Whoo! You rock! Thnx for making these videos...I'm of Irish descent and I've been wanting to learn Irish Gaelic for the past couple of days.

  • Jess you are fierce. Im a New Yorker with roots in Ulster County. Thanks for the vids

  • haigh Jesjes.  We love your vids! Thanks very much for the lessons. slan, 67 music

  • hi jesjes1! ur video is so interesting. I really love cultural languages and i think the irish language is so cool> it's so different! i love it.

  • Would you be able to tell me how to greet a nun in Irish? Its just I'm very friendly with an Irish nun!

  • jess tell me something. exactly how much do u really speak in gaelic outside of school

  • excuse my ignorance,

    but does mainstream ireland speak this regularly?

  • 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

  • never!

    the majority of Irish students despise Irish

    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 ,

    funny aye

  • 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?

  • and you're annoying... =_=

  • would be soooo interesting.. a blog in which someone just stares at the cam and says absolutely nothing...:S

  • look at muserine's youtube home page ... she stares at you at the top.

  • 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

  • How do we say "jesjes1 is a beauty goddess!" in Irish?

    jesjes1 dhuit, everybody ;-)

  • that was so cool, I've never heard irish before

  • yay! this is EXACTLY what i needed! awesome very helpful video!

  • i love irish

  • Go bhfoire Dia orainn

  • Slán. Go raibh maith agat! Slán leat.

  • where are you from in Ireland.

  • 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.

  • Is brea liom sé, tá sé go hiontach

    Go raibh maith agat :)

  • 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.

  • Cool XD

    I'm Irish aswell, good luck learning Irish, it's quite cool to know it

    And it's Dun Laoghaire :P

  • 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.

  • how old are you?

  • you should deffinately make more vids about how to speak irish.... theres not very many on youtube... thnx

  • fair play to you girl, fluent irish speaker here and was delighted to see the video, again well done

  • is mór an gar go

  • Awesome video! I am learning Irish gaelic becuase I have a little bit of Irish me! ^^

  • 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.

  • I'm from the north, and you say it much different from me, haha.

  • Fuckin awesome I love Gaelic !

  • Thanks!

    Very helpfull!

  • 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

  • HEY!!!!
