Irish people must care his treasure. If the ancient gaelic is not used and cared it will have a black future. The basque people are in a similar situation with the basque language (euskara), but perhaps our langauge's situation is better than yours. I was twice in Eire and it is true that the gaelic is not heard on the streets, maybe a little bit in the north and west of the island. Good luck with this battle. ZORIONAK halako hizkuntza izateagatik ta ez galdu aukerarik altxorra honekin!!.
@xakerreta With the galician is the same. Only in the small villages and in the countriside you can hear it. It's very strange to hear galician in Vigo or in A Coruña, for example. Saudiños desde Galicia!
feel sad... coz I see lots of difficulty here... stronger culture beat everything? thats stupid but society need it.
I'm Japanese. and sometimes I feel boring in America and Canada. the landscape is all same. when I went to Thailand, I was satisfied and totally fall in love with Thailand because there is a original culture.
@BFFbleachfansforever well I'm planing to study in European countries.... hope to visit Ireland too, of course :) luckily, we can talk by using English... i donno its good or bad tho....

@stevroch: Although lostboy76 is putting his point across rather abruptly and he is sort of generalising,, there is a grain of truth to what he's saying: Basically, a sizable portion of the Irish population see it is an almost compulsory duty to get paralytically drunk at every opportunity, rather than learn a new, life-enhancing skill.
Is Ceanadach mé, ach in ollscoile tá Léann Éireannach á déanamh agam. Is bréa liom an cúltur agus an stair na hÉireann. Níl Gaeilge láidir agam... go foill, ach ba mhaith liom a bheith ag cainte sé, mar le Yu Ming. B'fhéidir lá éigin! (Tá brón orm, is féidir gáire leat ar mo gramadach!)
Wonderful little video. And sad, too. I lived in Ireland for a year. The Irish are lovely people but most of the them have no real drive to learn Irish. They care more about a good craic at the pub. The Irish language will probably die this century and most will be too drunk to even notice.
With respect , go and fuck yourself and your little racist stereotypes. "Most will be too drunk to notice".......I'm fluent in irish and I dont drink so again, Fuck you and your narrow minded myopic observation ya Moose Fucker [ <<Irony there, just incase you are unaware of the concept]
@stevroch Racially, I AM IRISH, too, you moron. And "racist" is the most overused, worthless word in modern usage because of oversensitive twits like you. I don't give a shit whether or not you drink. The Irish language is in freefalll; the Irish predilection for booze is unchanged. It's not a leap to say that most Irish would rather spend time at the pub than studying their ancestral language.
@LostBoy76 Actually we all start learning irish when we're three or four and we dont stop studying it untill we're 17 or 18.Its esentiel if you're irish you study irish and if you're interational and under 10 and move here you study it aswell

yeah its very good and it does make people be ashamed not to be fluent in irish .. but i dont think anyone would think people would get irish mixed up with chinese :L:L just cause hes chinese :L:L:L

Does anyone feel slightly sorry for Yu Ming after he spent six months learning Irish and he does not understand English? We watched this in Irish class and we all did feel sorry for him. Honestly, I'm the best at Irish in my class and I wish everyone spoke our native language. But the British changed everything and I think that Irish should be studied over English.
Ye actually haven't a clue what ye are talking about, how is the Irish language at fault for the financial crisis and emigration?? The video is designed to make a mockery of so called 'Irish' people like ye.
I am a Chinese student in London, but after visiting Ireland, I must say that I like Ireland better than the UK. I think there is some like-mindedness between Chinese and Irish people: both are old civilizations, both have endured sufferings in early modern era and both have a large diaspora population worldwide. This video is just hilarious! When I did a walking tour in Dublin, fortunately, my tour guide, a Trinity College student was competent in Gaelic.
This is exactly what Ireland needs........ another fucking non-national learning to speak the Irish when thousands of our young men and women are going to other countries to make a living. Fucking Crap Language....!!! By the way I live in Ireland and it is' a fucking crap place to earn a living. We have Financial Criminals as Politicians.... what fucking new.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Went through the Irish School system and still can't speak a word of the language. So called Irish teachers taking big Money per week like the Irish Bankers just another burden on the Irish Taxpayer. Don't email me I'm not interest in your Irish Tax Free Loading paid for by the Irish State opinion either..!!
@itsmefergal You didn't learn your kind of English in the Irish School System either which you are trying to insult. Listen Garbage Mouth, unlike you, this young Chinese Actor gives Ireland good representation. You talk like something that crawls out of the Sewer at night! Why don't you move to England where you really belong!
Brilliant absolute sheer class! Such a disappointment that we claim Irish as our national language when many people dont understand a word... great short film ! epic!
An-mhaith! Is aobinn liom an scannán seo. Is mór an trua nach bhfuil níos mó daoine ábalta a chaint as Gaeilge. Táim i mo chónaí i Tír na mBasach agus BA MHAITH le na daoine a fhoglam Baiscis. Agus ina theannta sin, tá easpa seirbhísí as Gaeilge! Is mór an náire! >:(
This may be the best film ever made. It makes me cry every time. I wish I was as brave as Yu Ming, and I wish more that the Irish language had not been stolen, forcibly, from its people. Is Merichaneach me, but my dad speaks Irish, and I am teaching it to my daughter. I just showed her this film to drive home the horror of what happened in the country of her ancestors - not only was the land taken, but the very LANGUAGE. Thank God for Conradh na Gaeilge.
Very sweet short film. Came across this a couple of years ago and just stumbled on it here by accident. Couldn't remember the name of the film, and so glad I found it again.
i can never get over seeing Asians speaking with an Irish accent never mind Irish itself. I live in Waterford so I know a handful. Its like the picture doesn't match the sound.
@bweedin Well if ur born in Ireland you have to Learn it in school as a subject and if you imagrated to ireland and you have been here before you where 7 years old you also have to lean it as a subject but you be suprised how many irish people dont even know how to say hello in irish :) (i can)
@bweedin its fairly bad ... its only spoken in little pockets on the western side of the country (mainly) ... Galway is about the only city where u will hear it, and even then usually just a few words here and there. In Dublin people will look at u funny if u try to use Irish ... but yet about loads of people will tell u they speak it .. but they're generally full of shit ...

@FreedomValentine Heh heh definitely, I've been studying Irish for fourteen years and I'm still uselss at it. Although I did do Higher Level for Leaving Cert...
Chonaic mé an scánann sin i mo rang gaeilge, agus bhí gach duine sa seomra ag gaire ag an buachaill yu ming!! Agus Tá a gaeilge go g-íontach ar yu ming!!
Rachaidh mé go dtí an ghaeltacht i gConnemara an samhraidh seo chugann!! Tá an-sceitimíní orm agus béidir anois gheobhaidh mé "A" i mo theastas sóisearach don ghailge mar a rachaidh mé go dtí meanscoil gnáth, nach ghaelscoil! :-) Dá mbeach a tuigfainn (tú) cuir litir orm!! :)
Hombre , me encanta sabes que Irlandais es muy bonito y ahora cunado vuelva a mi pais voy a aprender de nuevo mi idioma .... ba maith liom Gaelige caint , nios fearr ... pero como todo con tiempo poco a poco estoy mas despuesto hacerlo
Chan eil Gáidhlig na h-Eireann agam ach thuig mi beagan. Fiolm goirid glé mhath! i don't speak Irish (I speak Scottish Gaelic), but I understood some of it. A wonderful short film! I absolutely loved it! :-)
@anndra2 Haigh a chara! Tá cara agam anseo in gCathair na Mart agus is as Oilleann Bharra í agus tá Gáidhlig na h'Alba aicí. Tá sí ag foghlaim Gaeilge (na hÉirinn) freisin!
Hi friend! I have a friend here in Westport (Co. Mayo) who is from the Isle of Barra and Gáidhlig is her first language. She's also learning Irish and currently works as a teacher in a Gaeltacht school in Conamara.
Excellent lesson to be learned - same could be true for the Native American Indians and preserving their language. Really enjoyed this short film! Thanks for sharing!
Chonaic mé an gearscannan sin anuraidh i mo rang Gaeilge. Cheap mé go raibh sé saghas brón, mar tá an scannan ag abair go fuair n-ár teanga náisiúnta bás. Ach, tá sé greanmhar freisin.
Is brea liom an gearscannan seo! Maith go leor! Beidh Gaeilge an teanga a usaidimid inar saol an t-am go leor go luath. Tiocfaidh ar la 32.! Agus ta a fhios agam go bhfuil mo ghramadach uafasach x.x
English is my first tongue, but my ancestors were German, Irish, and Polish. I'm learning Russian, and I have learned Spanish because it is useful in my profession. I really wished my ancestors passed down their languages though; what an amazing heirloom that would have been.
Iv lived in sydney in for the past few years, and was at the opera house for a photo stoot. Met this lad from sri lanka and he started talking to me in irish, i was fucken sickened with myself when i could not reply.
What a fascinating movie. I see an analogous thing here in America among Chinese kids who can't speak their own mother tongue...it's a sad thing to behold.
This was amazing.... it just shows how much Irish has actually been lost... It was a good idea for a short story... Atleast there is still the Gaeltacht!!

An-mhaith! Is aobinn liom an scannán seo. Is mór an trua nach bhfuil níos mó daoine ábalta a chaint as Gaeilge. Táim i mo chónaí i Tír na mBasach agus BA MHAITH le na daoine a fhoglam Baiscis. Agus ina theannta sin, tá easpa seirbhísí as Gaeilge! Is mór an náire! >:(

This may be the best film ever made. It makes me cry every time. I wish I was as brave as Yu Ming, and I wish more that the Irish language had not been stolen, forcibly, from its people. Is Merichaneach me, but my dad speaks Irish, and I am teaching it to my daughter. I just showed her this film to drive home the horror of what happened in the country of her ancestors - not only was the land taken, but the very LANGUAGE. Thank God for Conradh na Gaeilge.

Very sweet short film. Came across this a couple of years ago and just stumbled on it here by accident. Couldn't remember the name of the film, and so glad I found it again.

i can never get over seeing Asians speaking with an Irish accent never mind Irish itself. I live in Waterford so I know a handful. Its like the picture doesn't match the sound.

generally speaking, how is the level of Irish in Ireland?
bweedin 1 year ago
@bweedin Well if ur born in Ireland you have to Learn it in school as a subject and if you imagrated to ireland and you have been here before you where 7 years old you also have to lean it as a subject but you be suprised how many irish people dont even know how to say hello in irish :) (i can)
Dollery045 1 year ago
@bweedin its fairly bad ... its only spoken in little pockets on the western side of the country (mainly) ... Galway is about the only city where u will hear it, and even then usually just a few words here and there. In Dublin people will look at u funny if u try to use Irish ... but yet about loads of people will tell u they speak it .. but they're generally full of shit ...

@anndra2 Haigh a chara! Tá cara agam anseo in gCathair na Mart agus is as Oilleann Bharra í agus tá Gáidhlig na h'Alba aicí. Tá sí ag foghlaim Gaeilge (na hÉirinn) freisin!
Hi friend! I have a friend here in Westport (Co. Mayo) who is from the Isle of Barra and Gáidhlig is her first language. She's also learning Irish and currently works as a teacher in a Gaeltacht school in Conamara.
Pretty cool eh!

English is my first tongue, but my ancestors were German, Irish, and Polish. I'm learning Russian, and I have learned Spanish because it is useful in my profession. I really wished my ancestors passed down their languages though; what an amazing heirloom that would have been.
