very helpful! thanks :) i'm irish by birth, but my mother is australian so we moved here when i was very young and i don't have much contact with my irish family, so it's nearly impossible to learn irish! subscribing now :)
I appreciate the fact that there are people out there willing to teach this Language, because I want to be able to know this before I go to Ireland and also learn it for Heritage reasons. Thanks a great deal man. Ill be lookin through your vids a ton and hopefully memory serves me.
Well make sure if your in dublin that you can recognise an Irish person because many of the people around the city are tourists or immigrants! Not many would be able to speak the language apart from saying simple phrases but they would probably appreciate it as its the native language! My best advise would be to visit Galway! In Connemara almost everyone speaks the language fluently but you'd have to start the convo. because they'd know by looking at you that you're not from around!
@knockcrogherymurray I just returned from visiting Connemara today and they do speak entirely Irish! I love it!!!! Keep up the good work with this video series AnLoingseach
I'd love to learn Irish. I'm really interested in foreign languages and I'm 1/5 Irish!
The only thing is, do people really speak it anymore? I mean if I went to Ireland would people know how to speak it, or would they just speak to you in English. I know it's a minority language...
You'll always find someone to speak in Irish to but if you don't speak it first, very few/no people will speak to you in Irish first. They'll only be delighted to speak to you in Irish so don't at all be discouraged!!!
Wow, thank you for telling me the name of my own language, from my own country, where I actually live.
Just to clear up, Gaelic generally refers to Scottish Gaelic but can also refer to any of the Gaelic languages; Irish, Scottish, Manx. Saying "I speak Gaelic" meaning "I speak Irish" is like saying "I speak Anglic" when meaning "I speak English".
Irish people tend to call it Gaelic only when talking to someone who they think won't understand what they mean by "Irish". Wow.
@AnLoingseach Don't be put off by airheaded trolls like this, a chara. This is no excuse for this snide remark, but in the US the majority of us Diaspora Irish grew up being told of that our ancestral language was Gaelic, not Irish. Like many things, the preferred name for the language became something different here than it became in Eire itself. I didn't realize it was referred to as "Irish" until I finally began studying it myself. Keep up the good work.
@AnLoingseach Gaelic is essentially a language tree, is it not? Sort of How English is a Germanic language, and Spanish is a Romance Language. Gaelic does not refer to the Irish Language, but the Irish Language is Gaelic. I'm actually trying to self teach, so I hope I'm at least in the ballpark....
Don't waist ur time on adults my friend. Invest on the brains of 0-4 year-olds & after 20 years u will have 1 full generation who speak their mother tongue naturally, then next 20 years will be the Golden ages when everybody bellow the age of 40 will be proud2say my first language is Irish, that's the key my friend. The Irish should pick up their mother tongue not learn it. The system of Irish education is wrong from the base, causing the poor pupils to hate this beautiful rhythmic language
Just for future reference, if you're worrying about length for us viewers, personally, I can't get enough of listening to gaeilge (especially the Munster accent), so I'd actually like it if they were longer.
I don't know about everyone else though.
This isn't to say that you need to make them longer. I'm just saying that if one of these videos is a bit longer than usual, here's one person who wouldn't mind at all.
Good work! There are many people craving to learn Irish around the world but who don't have resources like this or people to practice with (outside of Ireland), particularly in the Munster dialect. Keep it up!
Nice to see some native speakers of Irish having a go at teaching the language. However, can I suggest that u just pick some phrases and then role-play simple conversations to show them in context..makes for a more interesting video and also would save u having to make long explanations.
GRMA. This will help me to understand Munster speakers much better. Tá Gaeilge Chois Fharraige agam, agus is deacair liom anois s aríst na canúintí eile a thuiscint.. focail mar "ná fuilir", "..fuilid" agus mar sin de.
oh,..eadar dà sgeul. An bhfuil an Gaeilge agat cosmhail ri Gaeilge Cois an Fhairge? Tha Gàidhlig na h-Alba agam...agus ta leabhar Gaeilge Cois an Fhairge agam

What is the actual phrase for the verb "to be" and how do you say it?
initformusic16 2 years ago
I was going to do all this in 2 videos time but sure...the "verbal noun" (See Lesson 5) is "beith" (beh) but it generally appears as "bheith" (veh).
For example, "bheith marbh, to be dead" conjugated is "Táim marbh, I am dead", "Tá tú marbh, You are dead" etc.
Now, "bheith" cannot be used directly to say something/someone IS something/someone else.
"bheith ceoltóir (musician)" is wrong.
You need to say "bheith i do cheoltóir, to be in your musician"...I'll explain in 2 videos time...
