@Cathain78 I see where you are coming from, but it's not strictly true. I know a few people who would wear a kilt everyday if they could, i am from the Highlands so it's probably more common to wear a kilt round here, everywhere else has Anglo influences. I personally would wear a kilt if my balls did'nt freeze. It's hella cold here with a kilt lol.
crap you will get more points in your leaving cert when you finish and a better chance of getting a degree if you intend to do it. when you leave ireland you will regret it i swear when u meet peopl from ireland abroad you'll want to talk only in irish and nothing else
Why is Japanese nothing like Korean or Chinese? Polish and German? Different languages. The few words of Gaelic (Scorish) were similar to Gaeilge (Irish) and as far as I know its the only language with any similarity.
But Jap/Kor Ger/Pol don't constantly go on about being brothers fellow celts etc, some ppl think Wel/Irish would be like Spa/Por or Pol/Cz but they're not
Funny to see that the ones bagging Gaeilge are always the ones who can't speak it. It's nowhere near dead, in fact it is having a huge revival around the world. To many from other countries, hearing Irish fluently spoken sounds pretty awesome and unique and the thought passes through the mind "why are the Irish bothering with English when the can speak this??!"...then you hear the whining of the lazy Irish schoolie and it is understood why.

For budding gaelgeoiri, you can get a 12,000 word English to Irish translator for your mobile phone just text the word 'focal' to 53503, in Ireland, or to 82222 in the UK.
How do the Irish, in general, feel about people who wear kilts every day? I know they're often worn in a formal fashion..
And, How do the Irish feel about Americans? My Grandparents, on both sides of the family, moved from Ireland to the US.. but i'm the only member of my family who wants to speak Gaeilge, wear a kilt, and listen to traditional Irish song..
charadochroi, more and more young people speak Welsh in Wales these days, and of course it's taught in schools, does Gaelic have a similar profile in the Republic?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
It is taught in schools and is usually refered to as gaeilge but luss and less people use it outside of school because it is basically useless for everyday life
it didnt occur to me that there was any1 speaking irish on you tube. i dont kno any1 else in dublin who speaks irish so i have noone to speak it with!! thanx for the video and ignore all those idiots. to put some thing right: a dead language is a language where all the native speakers have died out and the language can only be learned from writing.
how old are you? 10? i didn't know a language could have a sexual preference. but let's humour the thought. since your very own name is in irish; that must mean you're gay? you just dug yourself a into a hole you clown.
These are great videos ! I like your subtitles both in Irish and phonetic spelling plus the close up of your pretty young face showing me how to pronounce these strange words. It's going to be very helpful to me in my quest to learn to sing some Irish songs. -- HH
We shouldn't call the language Irish anyway. It's hiberno-gaeilic or just gaeilic in english. it was only after 1922 that eamonn devalera decided to keep up with the ignomonous Irish since he was a hypocrite shite.Ireland=english thought our island was full of iron ore deposites so they originally calle us "iron land" but then officially became ireland
Ok, i've got to set the record straight here. Gaelic is a group of three languages Irish (Gaeilge), Scotts Gaelic (Gaidhlaig), and Manx. As Irish (Gaeilge) is primarily associated with the island of Ireland and is technically different than the other two languages above there is no need to call the language anything other than Irish or Gaeilge.
The comments of some kids on this video about Irish makes me upset. :(
I love Irish, its the best language in the world.
Not just the Gaeltacht regions, ALL of Ireland should be a Gaeltacht! People who say Irish is dead, if you won't speak it then it will be dead stop being so lazy.
coming from an irish student!!! irish is hated in most schools and most people fail it... it doesn't mean its a disgusting its just that it is hated in ireland by students and has been forced into our schools
Look Irish is evolving and we shouldn't put someone down for making a great effort at speaking it!! Maith thú lean ar aghaidh leis an obair maith mar tá gá leis
Maybe you'll appreciate it later in life? I'm American and Irish is not a practical thing to learn, but I do love exploring it. For me, there is a benefit of learning different languages beyond buying a loaf a bread. Ya never know where or when your education will benefit you :)
I am Chinese and married to an Irish-American. You abandon your language and your culture. I am learning Irish - could you imagine China without Mandarin? NEVER! You should not be so lazy and maintain your language and be proud.
Word. Fair play to ya, Jess. Thanks for putting this up. My perspective is that there's not many languages like Irish in the modern world and the Irish people have had a long history with their language. It's *their* language. While learning the "language of power" as James McCloskey ("Guthanna in Éag") says, can be a useful and effective tool, the total shedding of one's cultural and historic language is often lethal for the language's survival. Once it's gone . . .
C'mon the only places where Irish is spoken is the Gaeltacht and even there it's floundering among young people, I think it should be made optional in schools as people could be learning a more useful language that is actually spoken around the world.
Yeah let's drop Irish. Enjoy the British newspapers, British soccor teams, British TV programmes that all Irish people love, admit that independance was a waste of time and admit that our ideals, loves, language and tastes are as British as the British themselves. Then people could be part of a more useful country that is the U.K. C'mon, the only places where Irish is spoken is Ireland and even there it's floundering among young people.
god i HATE irish.....and just because of school!im doin my leavin next year and im gona fail it coz i hate it with a passion...why is it compulsory?nobody realises that making it compulsory in school is whats killing the language!
Great videos, go raibh mile. But Jesus, I IMPLORE YOU NOT TO USE FOCAL . IE, it is nothing but Bearlachas, if anyone who does not know Irish choses to use it please be aware that any word you read with a J,K,Q,V,W,X,Y or Z in it is False Irish (Bearlachas) and any word you read beginning with a H such as héileceaptar is not Irish. Go n-eirí leat.
He's clearly not a native English speaker and has made a few mistakes, give him a break! You missed an apostrophe and can't spell illiterate, how ironic!
every language offers real insight into the culture that created it and a different way of seeing the world. i speak lots of languages and have loved learning them, although i didn't love learning irish at the time it was because i wasn't mature enough to appreciate it then. i do now.
Good idea - keep it up. The only slight criticism I have would be that the girl should learn the script off properly.
I agree with PhunLuvr. The amount of abuse that has been posted on this is depressing. A lot of the commentators could benefit from literacy classes too as they clearly can't write, spell or construct a sentence. OMG, Innit.
Where to start. She's a nice girl, trying to share a bit of our Irish vocabulary. Great idea! Keep the language alive, I say, even if the (mandatory) classes in school never inspired me personally. But, jeez, the percentage of comments that are simply rancid is depressing.
The level of aggressive bile that people feel happy to dispense on the internet is such a sad waste of everything. Anyway... slánte! [pron: slawn'tsha - for anyone like-minded, it can mean, Cheers! ;)
How many times have you been to France or Ireland? I bet where ever you're from would be glad to have rid of you because you're the kind of person that give your country a bad name.

Ill shove your shalele stick up ure mom's wet private and after ill make you choke on it dont ever talk about french people like you did. Fuck you and your family and i hope you become israeli hostages and get burned to death mofo
there is no need to be so insulting. if you're not interested in gaeilge then don't watch the video. our language was taken from us and the Irish people fought for hundreds of years to keep it alive. fair play to you for making the video. i love the language but can't speak it fluently yet. Gaeilge Abu!!
Just because you don't have a use for it, doesn't mean others don't. Why are you even wasting your time badmouthing, if you have nothing good to say? Go hifreann leat!

He's clearly not a native English speaker and has made a few mistakes, give him a break! You missed an apostrophe and can't spell illiterate, how ironic!

every language offers real insight into the culture that created it and a different way of seeing the world. i speak lots of languages and have loved learning them, although i didn't love learning irish at the time it was because i wasn't mature enough to appreciate it then. i do now.

LMAO it's not dead it's just not feeling very well -i'm gonna quote that!
good point on the use of the word gaelic too. who says "i speak fronsay"? it's francais or french. so why would irish be called gaelic?

Good idea - keep it up. The only slight criticism I have would be that the girl should learn the script off properly.
I agree with PhunLuvr. The amount of abuse that has been posted on this is depressing. A lot of the commentators could benefit from literacy classes too as they clearly can't write, spell or construct a sentence. OMG, Innit.

Where to start. She's a nice girl, trying to share a bit of our Irish vocabulary. Great idea! Keep the language alive, I say, even if the (mandatory) classes in school never inspired me personally. But, jeez, the percentage of comments that are simply rancid is depressing.
The level of aggressive bile that people feel happy to dispense on the internet is such a sad waste of everything. Anyway... slánte! [pron: slawn'tsha - for anyone like-minded, it can mean, Cheers! ;)

How many times have you been to France or Ireland? I bet where ever you're from would be glad to have rid of you because you're the kind of person that give your country a bad name.

there is no need to be so insulting. if you're not interested in gaeilge then don't watch the video. our language was taken from us and the Irish people fought for hundreds of years to keep it alive. fair play to you for making the video. i love the language but can't speak it fluently yet. Gaeilge Abu!!

One curse I always liked is:
"May the cat eat you, and may the devil eat the cat!"
Written as: "Go n-ithe an cat thú, is go n-ithe an diabhal an cat!"
Say it as: "guh nee-ha un caht hoo, iss guh nee-ha un deel un caht"
