hey there. I have a cookoff team and we do a couple of Irish Cookoffs a year and our team name is Extra Stout Cookers. Our motto is: Chun an grá bia agus dí = For the Love of Food and Drink. I was wondering if you could help me on how to say this, cause i do believe i am saying it wrong. if you could help me out i would be much obliged.
I'm from Russia and I'm eager to learn Irish. Don't know why or what for (but suppose smth). Now I'm looking for teaching videos or something like that. :)
I absolutely adore Irish and I think it sounds beautiful in its own way that is separate from most other world languages. I would love to learn it, but I truly have no idea where I would learn it. I live in the U.S. and Irish isn't exactly... readily available. Any suggestions, besides a Rosetta Stone-style learning method?
Maith thu!! Nach éist le MrCricket0277. They need to think before they comment!! Gaelic is spoken in Scotland!!! (which is very similar to Gaeilge having spent time in Scotland and conversed with native Gaelic speakers) In Ireland we refer to it as either Irish or Gaeilge. As an international personal when I am conversing in America and people ask me which language I am speaking I always say Irish!!! Also in the Irish Educational Examination you sit "The Irish Paper 1 and 2" Go figure.
@MrCricket0277 Maybe you should learn the name of it before commenting on it, it is the Irish Language, nobody here in Ireland calls it the Gaelic language. I think a lot of people outside Ireland make this mistake because the Irish word for "Irish" when talking about the language is "Gaeilge" which people think looks like Gaelic so that's what it translates to but no it is the Irish Language
My ancestors are Irish, my grandmother came over from Ireland to America, and since I heard the Irish national anthem when I was 10, I've wanted to learn Gaelic, such a beautiful language, cheers
How about posting segments of tutorials. I'd like to pick up a 3rd language. PS: I'm one of those ugly Americans :D Bit of sarcasm there on one of the posts down. Sorry, couldn't help it. I'm Irish myself but don't look it either
Ignore the comments from ignorant Americans.Their obsession with "looks" is so pathetic, lol! Being Irish has never been about looking in a certain way.They're just jealous of you because you speak the language better than them.Keep in mind that not all Americans are like this.Some are actually pretty cool people.
Such a nifty language. I'm from Canada, and my French is only rudimentary. I can tell you who I am, how I am and my age. We're only taught it from grades 4-7(maybe 8?) I wish they would make everyone learn the language until they're fluent, without having to go to a francophone school. I took German in high school and can tell you useless things about me and ask for directions.
Good on you for keeping up with the traditional language of your country.

@C0T0HA I don't really expect all of the country to ever speak ukranian because some of it never spoke ukranian to begin with. Like here in Odessa or Crimea
You should make a video highlighting odd pronounciations, or literal meanings. You know like "focloir", which I think means dictionary, is pronounced fuck-lore in one of the dialects. Could be Connemara.
Also, "ag cuir amach" is to be sick, or to throw up, but it literally translates into "to put out", as my teacher so gracefully pointed out.
Anyway, I'm impressed you have such a grasp of the language, after not speaking it for half a decade.
You've made a wonderful video, perhaps you might help those of us who wish to learn the language? Would you be willing to make a video teaching simple every day phrases, days of the week, and numbers maybe 1-10 to start! Good job, a really good job!
Could anyone tell me if Irish is hard to learn? (My own scale- spanish=very easy, english, german= not that bad, finnish=almost impossible (GRAMMAR!) ). I love the way it sounds, and I'd love to learn at least a little. But the written language looks like some Cthulhu prayers, no offence, I love it too! :D
@wyprawaDoPiekla It's a relatively easy language to learn. e.g: English has over 200 irregular verbs ~ Irish has 11. They're some of the most commonly used words. After that, you just learn the root word for everything else and there are general variations for plurals and cases which apply to most of the others. If you're interested in learning, I could send you some info/guides.
@brennan93 I AM!! If it isn't too much trouble, that is, I would love to learn. I've never been interested in the Spanish or French they offer at my school. :P
I've never heard this language spoken before in my life. It's really cool. I hope more people learn to speak it and teach the younger generations. It should never be allowed to dwindle away.
@isabelzavoranu I have been learning it for a little over a year and a half now, it has been the hardest language I have learned thus far, but I finally can hold my own in a conversation. I hope to teach my kids to keep the family heritage alive.
@isabelzavoranu Irish has seen a surprising resurgence in the US, where I live. A number of universities are offering classes in it and apparently there's a growing demand that's hard to fill for Irish teachers. I say good on it.
I am American, and this is the language I want to devote myself to learning haha. I think it's so beautiful, and I'm quite proud of my Irish heritage. Thank you for using your talents and making a great video :) very inspiring
@ciarannixon you should be glad some people, even those of "just" Irish decent from America, or where ever else, have an interest in keeping the language alive. If I was born in Ireland, I certainly would be fluent in my native language, and be proud of it, as so many other cultures are of theirs. I was born of Irish decent, in America. It was not my choice to be born in America, it was of necessity that my family immigrate here because of the deplorable conditions in Ireland at the time of

haha tá sé greannmhar dar liomsa go bhuil na daoine ag scriobh ar an fisean seo "i will learn it" agus "its a shame i cant speak it" ach ní mbeidh siad ag fhoghlaim agus ní mbeidh siad líofa dáiríre.

Slán a chara.
I feel so dumb. Im a bit Irish (Coleman) on my mothers side, and I had no idea that Gaelic was a langage till I started listening to this band Gaelic Storm, I really thought people from Ireland spoke english, just with an accenct. Thanks for posting this video, it was cool reading it and listening to it, even if your grammar was off.
go raibh maith go leor ceart Tá mé ag foghlaim na Gaeilge anois, a dom nach bhfuil sé sin deacair, mo sheanathair agus úsáid mé í a labhairt le chéile roimh rith sé amach go raibh sé go hiontach cuimhní
Im finnish with a hint of irish blood in me and i would love to learn gaelic but to my knowledge there is no way to learn it in school here so i would have to come to ireland. Maybe someday i will have the chance to come there and learn it. =)
Waw !! I'm french and I would like to learn Irish... I learn English, German and Chinese, and learning Irish is my dream *__* And I love Ireland too :P
*giggle* I know what you mean about dropping out of English when talking to people. My mum and I do that sometimes with Dutch or Spanish. You get such funny looks from people.
Awesome! I am American and would to learn Irish. My ancestors are from Galway and Mayo, but my great grandparents were the last of their generation to be bilingual. I have visited Ireland many times since the early 1980s and how sad and rare it is to hear Irish spoken. All the kids all say they hate learning it in school! Thank you for helping to keep the language alive!
An bhfuil aon Tagálaigis agat fosta? Tá Béarla, Fraincis, Spáinnis agus an beagán Portaingéilis 's Gearmáinis agam. Cad is féidir liom a rá? Tá suim agam i dteangacha! :)
Tá a lán Gaeilge agam mar níl líofa agam ar an drochuar, ach tá mé ag iarraidh a chur fheabhas ar mo chuid Gaeilge. Sílim go bhfuil sé tábhachtach an theanga náisiúntach a bheith ar! :)
Is aoibhinn liom sin!!! Is meas agam ar fheadh aon duine abalta ag caint comh leat, is meas agam aon duine abalta ag caint as teanga eile!!!! Is rud go hiontach e. Ta bron orm, Nil me abalta a chuir an fhada thuas mo focaili agus ta mo gaeilge uafasach ach is aoibhinn liom an teanga.
You're much better than me and I've been learning it in school for 12 years! You've stunned me. :o It's a beautiful language, I wish I could speak it that well :\
Interesting. I myself only learned 2...wait, 3 words and phrases from my grandad so I understood absolutely none of what you said, my friend. Most people don't assume I'm all irish when they see me, just because I developed a nice farmer's tan. I'm one of those so few Irishmen that have very sallow skin so living in southern california I tan. Unfortunate, but I have auburn hair, just for whatever reason, my sallow skin tends to tan.
@MokongX3M:If i listen correctly now the Celtic-Irish orginal language must have had a huge influence HOW the German Saxons+the Danish Angles started pronouncing their Germanic dialects a few centuries after invading+settling in England.
English is very easy to learn for most Germans because up to 70%of the words are completely related to German+English people not learning German or having no feeling for German won´t even guess it!
The North German Saxon dialect still sounds partly too similar!
@qvagnsn6 mise freisin agus is múinteoir bunscoile mé. Is maith liom gaeilge, Tá sé go maith ach tá sé deacair, bíonn an gramadach deacair, agus nílim cinnte cad ba mhaith liom a rá i ngaeilge ach, lá éigin beidh mo chuid níos fearr agus beidh mé sásta le mo chuid gaeilge le cúnamh dé.
this was really cool! and also i saw a bunch of ppl asking or wishing in the comments that they could learn Irish and u can with pimsleure language tapes (thats what i am doing right now) and it helps lots. It doesn't help u to read or write the language but is a good thing to start off with.
I completely agree with you, it is such a shame more people dont speak the language here and we all know why it is, irish is seen as a mess subject except in the honours level classes,there are too many lazy gobshites in this country that would prefer to speak the language that was beaten into us than our own national language.
I can speak the langauge myself and i have a friend that is fluent so i talk to her when i can , nuair a bím ar meisce! :D....Athbhliain faoi Mhaise Daoibh a cairde
I wish I could speak Irish! I stayed in Ireland as an Au-Pair for nine months a few years ago. I learned a bit of Gaelic there and bought a book with a CD to learn it but it's too hard to learn by yourself if you have no one around to practice it with!
I'm an anglo woman living in south Texas. I've lived 80 miles from the border of Mexico a majority of my life and the culture is very prominent where I'm from. I'm not a fluent speaker of Spanish but I do understand quite a bit. More so than I speak. I can identify with having people speaking another language in front of you thinking you won't understand because of how you look. I embarrassed a friend's uncle when he tried to pull that one me not long ago.
@sica3820 It's the same with French, as it is an official language of Canada.
While I do not speak French fluently as I live in the West Coast, I understand it enough to know what a person is talking about to me when they are speaking in french.
we are not reluctent to speak english dofusfan12121212 u must be confused bak in the 1800s if we didnt speak the queens tongue (english) we got a bullet between the eyes so just to correct you we all speak english this american kid in the video can speak better irish than i can lol and im irish
@MokongX3M ...i mean no offense when i say this m8..but are you actually irish? you dont look it? where you born in ireland? are one of your parents another ethnicity? cuz you look part phillipino or somethnig...again no offense at all m8
@sbaker12 He's black Irish, which means he's part spanish (same as me) I'm 50 % Irish with a bit of Maltese and English chucked in. So I'm not exactly white skinned
@MokongX3M:Or is this Irish with an English accent you´re speaking here?
The origins of the development of English pronunciation over the last 1500 is still a riddle to most Germans on the continent (e.g. - riddle = Rätsel),though English seems also to be a bit more influenced by Latin which influenced language everywhere in Europe where the Romans were occupying(Fenster=German for window=Latin:fenestra).Judging from my English knowledge i´d say 70% of words are German,20% Anglic,10% Celtic....
@MokongX3M:....and the simple reason for the continental Germans or the Gaelic in France - which was fully occupied by Romans - to accept a Latin word like e.g. fenestra (French: fen´e`tre) was only that they had nothing at their houses like that - because the rough climate had not inspired them yet to develop or construct something like larger open windows.....
@dawallacefella In the 19th century Irish speakers wanted their children to speak English as it provided better employment prospects. Parents and teachers discouraged children from speaking Irish and would punish them if they did. Over a number of generations the language was widely replaced with English. There is absolutely no way the English would have ever shot some in the 1800s on the basis that they spoke Irish. The English never violently coerced the Irish into speaking English
@dawallacefella American Kid? Now that would be impressive. Haven't heard of Irish being taught in any school in the States before college. Not even round here near Chicago which claims a high population of people with Irish heritage. Bit sad if ye think about it.
Gaelic is a nice sounding language, one that does not annoy the ear while listening to it.
I am sure that there are millions of Irish Decendants in North America that would love to learn this language...........including myself. If I could find a person in my Canadian city that can seriously teach this language I would definately pay for lessons.
@videocircus Irish is quite a difficult language grammar wise. The verbs change according to how many syllables they have. Although many are now fluent, there is an american irish man who came over to Ireland and live in a gaeltacht (irish speaking region) and is now fluent in a few months. Also it doesnt translate directly. e.g Dia duit is used as hello but actually means god be with you and the reply is "dia is muire duit" which means god and mary be with you. ádh mór ort - good luck to you
@dofusfan121212 yeah irish people are very reluctent to speak english beacuse of the war you will have to hav a good grasp of the lanuage if u want to survive here
No we speak English here. There are very few places in the country that speak it most of the time unless the people from those area's are talking to tourists or from those of us who do not speak Irish fluently. These places can be found in parts of counties such as Kerry, Mayo, Gallway, Donegal. There are other places but I dont have the time at the moment to name all of them.
Anyway, you should come over here in the summer in my opinion that's the nicest time.
Good work! Hopefully I'll be able to post an Irish Gaelic video soon... I'm not actually Irish (unless being a complete mutt counts! lol), but i've been learning at the University of Montana which strangely enough is one of a handful of universities in the US with a Irish program... I only have 2 semesters under my belt so I'm not that good yet... but it's awesome to hear the language spoken because really the only place I can hear it in the way its meant to be spoken is my professor.
Haha, I <3 it! I hate it when douchebags talk in a language they think you can't understand. My family is american irish/scottish, but half my family have lived in Spain, so we are pretty fluent in Spanish. There is such a thing as ginger spanish-speakers!

Ba mhaith liom tú a dhéanamh níos mó cosúil le físeáin seo. Ba mhaith liom a fhoghlaim Gaeilge a labhairt ach im ag baint úsáide as an aistritheora a chineál seo. na daoine seo a léamh comment nach labhraíonn Gaeilge go mbeidh ní fios cé. :) lol
Today I started learning Irish! Yaaay! x3 I love this language, it sounds so different from all the other European languages (well, except for the other Celtic languages of course). It's really cool that you did this vid. It's important that young people learn this language! <3 The Irish are super cool but imagine how awesome theyd be if theyd all speak Irish!
@Alischnurr most people do there are still alot of parts of ireland that ONLY speak IRISH and for learning irish congratulions i hope u do really good in it:)
@XXxvampiregirlx Erm, no, not as far as I know. There are some small regions (which are getting even smaller) where Irish is spoken as the mother tongue, but even those people have problems with the grammar because English has just such a big influence. The English syntax is adopted for Irish so to speak.
The other Irish might learn some of the language in school but they don't really use it. It's a dying language.
You should teach me Gaelic.
I have future intentions to visit Ireland and would love to be able to speak the language. :D

@ciarannixon you should be glad some people, even those of "just" Irish decent from America, or where ever else, have an interest in keeping the language alive. If I was born in Ireland, I certainly would be fluent in my native language, and be proud of it, as so many other cultures are of theirs. I was born of Irish decent, in America. It was not my choice to be born in America, it was of necessity that my family immigrate here because of the deplorable conditions in Ireland at the time of

haha tá sé greannmhar dar liomsa go bhuil na daoine ag scriobh ar an fisean seo "i will learn it" agus "its a shame i cant speak it" ach ní mbeidh siad ag fhoghlaim agus ní mbeidh siad líofa dáiríre. Tá sé deacair agus nuair a feicfidh siad go bhuil sé deacair, ansin, déarfaidh siad "ahh forget this". Ar aon nós, tá an físeán ar fheabhas agus ba cheart duit cúpla físeán eile a dhéanamh!

Interesting. I myself only learned 2...wait, 3 words and phrases from my grandad so I understood absolutely none of what you said, my friend. Most people don't assume I'm all irish when they see me, just because I developed a nice farmer's tan. I'm one of those so few Irishmen that have very sallow skin so living in southern california I tan. Unfortunate, but I have auburn hair, just for whatever reason, my sallow skin tends to tan.

@MokongX3M:If i listen correctly now the Celtic-Irish orginal language must have had a huge influence HOW the German Saxons+the Danish Angles started pronouncing their Germanic dialects a few centuries after invading+settling in England.
English is very easy to learn for most Germans because up to 70%of the words are completely related to German+English people not learning German or having no feeling for German won´t even guess it!
The North German Saxon dialect still sounds partly too similar!

I completely agree with you, it is such a shame more people dont speak the language here and we all know why it is, irish is seen as a mess subject except in the honours level classes,there are too many lazy gobshites in this country that would prefer to speak the language that was beaten into us than our own national language.

I'm an anglo woman living in south Texas. I've lived 80 miles from the border of Mexico a majority of my life and the culture is very prominent where I'm from. I'm not a fluent speaker of Spanish but I do understand quite a bit. More so than I speak. I can identify with having people speaking another language in front of you thinking you won't understand because of how you look. I embarrassed a friend's uncle when he tried to pull that one me not long ago.

@MokongX3M:Or is this Irish with an English accent you´re speaking here?
The origins of the development of English pronunciation over the last 1500 is still a riddle to most Germans on the continent (e.g. - riddle = Rätsel),though English seems also to be a bit more influenced by Latin which influenced language everywhere in Europe where the Romans were occupying(Fenster=German for window=Latin:fenestra).Judging from my English knowledge i´d say 70% of words are German,20% Anglic,10% Celtic....
MrSKINFLICK 10 months ago
@MokongX3M:....and the simple reason for the continental Germans or the Gaelic in France - which was fully occupied by Romans - to accept a Latin word like e.g. fenestra (French: fen´e`tre) was only that they had nothing at their houses like that - because the rough climate had not inspired them yet to develop or construct something like larger open windows.....

@dawallacefella In the 19th century Irish speakers wanted their children to speak English as it provided better employment prospects. Parents and teachers discouraged children from speaking Irish and would punish them if they did. Over a number of generations the language was widely replaced with English. There is absolutely no way the English would have ever shot some in the 1800s on the basis that they spoke Irish. The English never violently coerced the Irish into speaking English

Gaelic is a nice sounding language, one that does not annoy the ear while listening to it.
I am sure that there are millions of Irish Decendants in North America that would love to learn this language...........including myself. If I could find a person in my Canadian city that can seriously teach this language I would definately pay for lessons.
videocircus 1 year ago
@videocircus Irish is quite a difficult language grammar wise. The verbs change according to how many syllables they have. Although many are now fluent, there is an american irish man who came over to Ireland and live in a gaeltacht (irish speaking region) and is now fluent in a few months. Also it doesnt translate directly. e.g Dia duit is used as hello but actually means god be with you and the reply is "dia is muire duit" which means god and mary be with you. ádh mór ort - good luck to you

No we speak English here. There are very few places in the country that speak it most of the time unless the people from those area's are talking to tourists or from those of us who do not speak Irish fluently. These places can be found in parts of counties such as Kerry, Mayo, Gallway, Donegal. There are other places but I dont have the time at the moment to name all of them.
Anyway, you should come over here in the summer in my opinion that's the nicest time.

I only have 2 semesters under my belt so I'm not that good yet... but it's awesome to hear the language spoken because really the only place I can hear it in the way its meant to be spoken is my professor.

@XXxvampiregirlx Erm, no, not as far as I know. There are some small regions (which are getting even smaller) where Irish is spoken as the mother tongue, but even those people have problems with the grammar because English has just such a big influence. The English syntax is adopted for Irish so to speak.
The other Irish might learn some of the language in school but they don't really use it. It's a dying language.
