a story said in Irish!

[zschollful]

It sounds so much like English, but the words are much more different. Maybe English evolved from the Irish language. Now I have been inspired and will try to learn Irish!

[iloveapplejuiice]

before watching some of your videos i did not know irish was its own language, i thought it was gaelic lol i really want to learn a second language, but i dont know about irish, it sounds really confussing D :

[vikingproducts]

great to hear irish on you tube , keep up the good work and feck the begrudgers !

[RebekahQuinx]

dia duit ! conas a tá sibh ?

[taibshe]

The 2 forms are Gaeilge(Irish) and Gáidhlig(scottish). You dont pronounce them gaeliC. And yes, Gaeilge Últach(Ulster) is a little closer to Gáildhlig.

Anyone who loves Gaeilge that much to learn it, from wherever else in the world, can be called as Irish as anyone from Ireland in my book.

The only way to bring the language back is to teach it to children.

[masterbeef792]

whats hello in irish?



[WindyCityJazz]

@masterbeef792 dia dhuit

[Casey95881]

Tá Gaeilge do thuismitheoirí?

[MrNiallberry]

thank you for showing the world how to speak Irish

THANK YOU

[0oMilliono0]

I could understand that word for word! :DDD its great!

[Acid7Ibanez]

That was awesome

[MikDonsen]

Lol I'm Irish Canadian, I'm just as Irish as you. The people that left Ireland stopped speaking Irish about the same time that people in Ireland stopped speaking irish. Okay maybe I'm celtic versus Irish but all the same, if your celtic, i'm just as celtic. So would Irish people stop talking about how we have no right to our heritage. Obviously we weren't born in Ireland but our heritage defines out identity wherever were born.

[XGailoftheShaleX]

@MikDonsen, well said, i agree

[Artificialkel]

bhean an-mhaith

[alientheorist]

Yeah I have no idea what was said, I was nodding like I pretended to understand. It is a very intriguing language, if I ever start on Rosetta Stone I will have to start with this one.

[PNA853]

[Jeetman63]

I've watched your videos on learning Irish and I really appreciate your effort but I'd never remember your teachings learning in a forum like this. I wonder if there is a Rosetta Stone version for Irish (I doubt it). If not it's too bad because I had a chance to try an Italian version and the method is amazing!! I'd love to see an Irish version. In the mean time, keep up the good work!!!

[kutkittykat]

there are many programs that teach all of the Irish languages Irish Gaelic, Munster, Ulster, Connacht ,Goidelic ect. Rosetta stone works very well, i advise a forum also

[Jeetman63]

I checked into it and yes Rosetta Stone does have an Irish language program.

[whiked2112]

@Jeetman63 They do have a Rosetta Stone Irish Edition.

[iloveunclet1]

oh gosh :( i'm terribly confused....please don't be upset but let me get this straight...Gaelic is scottish ...and Irish is irish it has no title? :( i'm so sorry i am just confused. this was a very nice video it flowed very well. i didn't get much but i just started like an hour ago :) so its all good ^_^

[VV1zzz]

Gaelic is the irish for irish. But don't ireland is called Eire in irish. Has noting to do with Scotland as far as i am aware.

[iloveunclet1]

....i give up O.O i'm not getting any clear answers. i'm going to wiki.

[animalunaris]

Also, Irish is called 'Irish' because it's the national language of a country (Ireland) whereas Scottish Gaelic isn't just called 'Scottish' because it's not the national language of Scotland, it is one of three national language sin Scotland (English, Scots, Scottish Gaelic).

[youwantmetoeatwhat]

Sorry, its just that people from around the world are trying to bring your language back into daily use and people like you are scaring them off. I honestly didnt mean any offense. It just annoys me when people are interested in something that they know nothing about and the person who has the information treats them like an idiot. We want to bring the language back right? Not make people think that we are jaded because we lost it.

[madcow15792]

well ok i appreciate your thoughts but i am not treating anyone like and idiot........and yes I would like to bring the language back but i think we both know its not gonna happen so i am not scaring people off because if they are interested they wont be phased by me correcting their error and give up, if they really want to learn it nothing small will shove them off....they will take my correction in their stride and keep going!!

[madcow15792]

Irish...whats gallic??

i hope you dont mean gaelic because that isnt a language the language is IRISH

just thought i'd say lol

[youwantmetoeatwhat]

gaelic is a language. It is the native language of Scotland. Its a little like Ulster Irish. Stop being so oppinionated when u have no fact to back it up

[madcow15792]

ok well i didnt know that and for the record i am not opinionated....i have an opinion thats all....and yes I didnt know that gaelic is the native language of scottland so i made a mistake....sorry bout that but the language I am speaking IS Irish so I have a right to express myself when someone calls it Gaelic when it clearly isnt.......

[jordanaus75]

Nah the correct usage in English is to call the Scottish dialect (language) Scottish Gaelic, and the Irish form either Irish or Irish Gaelic. If you just say gaelic , then that refers to the branch of Celtic languages and is very broad because three languages belong to that particualar group. Its a bit like refering to English as Germanic and expecting others to know what language you are talking about. All the best.

[iloveunclet1]

um could i like message you and ask for an explanation? i hate to be a bother but i'm trying to learn and well i'm not so sure what things are anymore i mean no offense to you or anyone i promise!

[yyll007]

@youwantmetoeatwhat , There are two forms of Gaelige, Irish and Scottish. These are then divided into regional dialects in their respective countries of origin for each language. Each may vary slightly from each other in respect to where it is spoken. If you doubt this is true go to a bookstore and you will find Seperate books for Each form of gaelige! If they were the same their would not be distinctly diffrent forms of the language to learn.

[lolyinx]

Irish is gaelige...

[iloveunclet1]

oh goodness :( now its all confusing

[MrNapalm2]

Irish is Gaelic.. not that hard to follow

[iloveunclet1]

-.- you need to do some research and check what you just said.

[MrNapalm2]

y? im irish and i should know

[iloveunclet1]

lol well then okay haha

just be a lil polite to someone who may not get something the first go 'round

^_^ plz and thnks

[animalunaris]

The Irish language is called 'Gaeilge' in Irish, like how English is called 'English IN English, but in French it's called 'Anglais'.

Irish Gaelic is just a variation on the English name.

[Tones4me]

Is it Irish or Gallic? Thanks for doing this, it's fun.

Why are you moving to Spain?
