Part 2: ...Of course, now I almost forgot everything from those lessons, but every day I dream I could improve it and visit your beautiful country. So, if you'll be somehow in touch with me, AnLoingseach, I'll be saying go raibh maith agat constantly. :)
P.S. Oh yes, An Blascaod! That was the second book Dad brought me - a bi-lingual autobiography by Peig Sayers from the Great Blasket Island. Wonder if they still speak irish there!
And windshadow333, I' planning that too! What if... ;)
Slán from St. Petersburg, Russia! :)) Learned Gaeilge a little back in the early 90's as a school kid, when I became obsessed with Ireland, your history and language - needless to say, at the risk of supreme geekiness. :))) My dad bought in London a Teach Yourself Irish book&tape by Diarmuid Ó Sé and Joseph Sheils (ever heard of them?) and brought it to me as a gift. How cool was it. :)) Of course, now I almost forgot everything from those lessons, but every day I dream I could improve it and
I'm going to Ireland in the Summer and would like to visit some areas where mostly only gaeilge is spoken. Is there any places like that, or is it all english now?
Dingle in Corca Dhuibhne in Kerry is a nice place to go. There isn't a huge amount of Irish in the village although it is an official Gaeltacht, but the villages to the west of Dingle are Irish-speaking. You should take a trip out to the Blasket Islands. And Tralee town is less than an hour's drive in the road which isn't a Gaeltacht but there's a lot of tourist attractions there...
Well, that's what I recommend if you're coming to Kerry...
Well, I would like to see Dublin, but I don't want to spend too long there, because I think it is talked about like it is the only city in Ireland (at least over here in the states it is). I'm more interested in meeting with the people and taking in the culture. You mention Kerry, and I really would like to see the south because I think the story of Irish independence is one of the strongest in all of history, and the south was a major part of that.
@windshadow333 Donegal & Conamara are the stronger of the gaeltacht areas, and coincidently - are among the most scenic places in Ireland. I found Dingle to be a very weak Gaeltacht when I went there - also, my local gaeltacht An Rinn isn't very strong either. All gaeltachtaí are lovely to visit in their own rights.
Ok, I have concluded you should become an Irish teacher. It seems you are a natural. You make it real simple and easy to understand. You speak the Munster dialect right?
I'll actually be remaking this video soon enough and putting in all/most of the prepositions you'll find. For whatever reason, videos on my laptop are smaller so I can put up longer videos with better quality so I might remake the first 5 videos.
Yeah, Munster. I don't won't to overload the videos with dialectal differences or confuse viewers but some of the prepositions in the dialects vary greatly so I'll just mention the most common differences!
this kid is doin what my french teacher did in high school. except its possible to learn what you need from this conveniently instead of that bitch. o.O
