[t4r0n]

Ta cupla focal agam - I guess if someone says that to me... I would react totally wrong :P

[bheadh]

Ar fheabhas! Go hiontach! Go raibh maith agat, a stor! Ta tu go h'alainn comh maith! Beannacht De leat agus beannacht De le hanamacha na marbh. Slan.

[thrainful]

i love irish people:P

[daveSeeks01]

jes you have a great accent and you should teach irish gaelic as a profession

[flyingforme]

Go raibh maith agat for making these videos. I am an Irish-American struggling to teach mise the beautiful Irish language. Can't get to Ireland, can't find a teacher near me. Please keep making these - it really helps. Slan agus beannacht.

[EllieMaeD5]

Like This, I'm Irish !! (:

[FinuteD1]

@spellcraft0204 pfft no we dont, its more like about 2 or 3 percent can speak irish fluently, nut everyone knows basics

[liverpool8142]

[ViiCKii15x]

@liverpool8142 Tá tú ag feachaint go hálainn anocht (Taw two ag feach-ant go haw-lin anocht)

[Calmacara]

Great! now i can start learning irish.

i am from austria and i really like the sound of irisch language

thank you

[warboss4]

thank you so much these videos help so much

[usherandjusb]

i am intrested in learning irish gaelic and ive been looking for a teacher and i find you quite easy to learn from and wondering if you good teach me irish gaelic!!

[unataaffe]

Yes a lot of people still speak irish as their first language

[jimmyk1love]

It would be better and not all that much more complicated to say: 'Níl ach cúpla focal agam' for 'I only have a couple of words', and 'Níl mé ach ag foghlaim an Ghaeilge' for 'I'm only learning Irish.' 'An féidir leat caint níos maoile' means 'Can you speak more slowly?' not 'Can you speak slowly?' or 'Can you speak slower?'

[palokowski]

You are very beautiful

[melodicanify]

THANK YOU, I was dying to know how to say this.

[pbrucpaul]

What's her name and where is she from?

[afropagangirl11223]

[misdreavus11]

[Mumwaldee]

All you need to know is:

1. I'd like 2 beers please

2. Where is the bathroom?

3. What time does your husband get home?

[quakey987]

come back Jesjes and teach us Irish !

[suluksummuskulus]

why should anyone learn a PIG language? :P But however does... good luck and have fun.

[TheOnlyRaverDoll]

@suluksummuskulus...says the fuckin nazi...fuck off wil u your language is fuckin stupid, i did it in school and hated it, its a load of shit and u germans are boring bastards...pog mo thone loser

[BartlebyKyoto]

@TheOnlyRaverDoll ,

Well, I am German and -as quite a lot of Germans, who have a love for Ireland - trying really hard to learn Irish. I am sorry that you made some bad experiences learning my language.

However just because you had some trouble learning it, it isn't a "stupid" language and I don't like being called a boring bastard by somebody who doesn't even know me.

[Skyifictionable]

@BartlebyKyoto Ich bin Irisch und ich leibe Deutsche leute. Du bist nicht dumm. =D Ich finde Deutsch, sein schoen. Es tut mir leid... meine Deutsch ist nicht so gut.

[zobazoba69]

I didn't know people were still learning celtic languages.... Sorry but I thought they were «dead languages». Anyhow, I have a question for you: is the «irish language» similar to the «scottish language»?

[edel7272]

@zobazoba69 ah i dunno but i lovr the scots and irish all the same...

[mrsszmanda07]

lol..I love the Irish language I just wish they made it fun to learn in school instead of forcing it down our throats..I really wish Irish was my first language.

[homoflapjack]

well done you ginger bitch you know a dead language FFUUCCKKYYOOUU!!

[07adamb]

@homoflapjack wow you are a major fucking dickhead, hope you get run over by a fucking bus you prick!!!

[welshperson123]

im welsh and i can speak welsh, would it be harder or easier to learn irish?

[rnbldsrnmsvlbl]

Can I ask what part of Ireland you're from? Because I find the different accents a bit confusing... Like for example, some people pronounce the s in slán like "sh" -- what's the difference? I want to be consistent, but I don't know which accent to choose!

[rnbldsrnmsvlbl]

This is very useful indeed! Thank you so much!

[elepe91]

no one speaks irish in ireland now...

[SomethingxWorthxIt]

@elepe91 1.5 million out of 5 million speak Irish Gaelic. It's unfortunate :(

[drdaldds]

Watching the Celtic Woman Shows...makes me so proud to be irish. They strike a chord with me. I captured and saved your You Tube post. Nothing is keeping me here. I wonder if I may begin again in ireland. I have my talents...am a doctor and am great with computers. I may consider that as potential for the last years of my life.

[drdaldds]

Very nice...thank you...and I will be learning the garlic Irish eventually. My mother was Rosemary O'Flynn...and I consider myself mostly irish...as I have it on my father's side as well. I am Dan...and I had my mother sang the Londonarry air to me so many times, I cannot count them all. My son was born with red hair and the celtic freckles...though I have to remember that from memory now.

[Rosiiie69]

@drdaldds "My son was born with red hair and the celtic freckles... Though i have to remember that from memory now." .... How come? :o

[MsSr18]

@drdaldds u mean gaelic irish,, not garlic... nd u mean londonderry? irish people call it derry! nd no one calls them celtic freckles.. there just freckles!..

[258mickey]

@drdaldds hahaha garlic

[macaibeau]

Thank you for the lesson!

[sagrr]

Infheistíochta ar an brains de 0-4 bliana agus tar éis 20 bliain beidh ort 1 giniúna a labhraíonn Gaeilge go nádúrtha agus beidh bheith bródúil as a rá "Tá mo chéad teanga Gaeilge", a bhfuil an eochair do rath.

[wthomasz]

I need to learn Irish so when my family visits we can have conversation...

[misconfiguration]

You are beautiful.

[jimbobeire]

Most important things to learn first in any language. "Hello" "My name is..." "I am from" "Speak slowly, I only speak a little of your language" and of course "where are the toilets!" Cá bhfuil an leithreas! Of course, in Irish that's not an emergency phrase, as we all understand English as well.

[MusicIsMyLife6991]

Can you repeat that please? - An feidir leat abair sin aris, le do thoil?

I'm not sure of the spelling :P

Slan

[jcon119]

i am sooooo glad i found you on here.

[schribbbber]

Arranmore Island ,The party capital of Ireland

But its a must visit for a shindig !!

Hail " Hail " The Celts Live , Here .

[nny113]

Eirinn Go Brach. thats all i know in Gaelic

[CeciliaSkish]

good one to know tho!

[APestunabasta]

I speak French muhahahahaah. My grandmother is Irish but I am a French-Canadian and she doesn't speak a word of Gaelic. Oh well.

[BenTheBrilliant]

Dia duit!

[AshliiRose]

Love this, love you, Go Ireland !

[CanadianQueer]

You are quite beautiful and charming. Nice video. <3

Btw, do a lot of people still speak "Irish" as opposed to english in Ireland?

[cjvec]

@CanadianQueer some parts of ireland have it as their first and english as second, whilst other have english as second and learn irish throughout school. We also have gael-talks, which is a specific place where only irish id spoken, and many people will go there over holiday or with schools in order to better their irish.

[Uzzie101]

@CanadianQueer About 10% of Irish people can speak it fluently, but very few speak it as a mother language i.e. they dream in irish.

It's sad, really.

[MegaShampers]

@Uzzie101 is there some thing wrong with you?

[Uzzie101]

@MegaShampers No, I'm Irish.

[Uzzie101]

@CanadianQueer LOL! "CanadianQueer" wtf?

[homoflapjack]

@CanadianQueer 8 percent of irish people say they speak irish fluent no one speaks it any where anymore at all just in schools where its forced down our throats and the people that do speak it live in the middle of no where in a field

[MegaShampers]

@CanadianQueer no not really its just english speck in a few counties and then the rest of the counties speck irish

[CeciliaSkish]

@CanadianQueer no it's almost dead. few people speak it fluently, and i don't think there are any native speakers left. the english made sure of that with their cultral genocide.

[xStageFrightx]

@CeciliaSkish yes there is native speakers in the gaeltacht

[krista5500]

@CeciliaSkish i thought gaelic is one of irelands languages. im learning t and im getting it really easily...lol

[AvrilCullen13]

@CanadianQueer

Yup :) In Gaeltach areas, e.g west Kerry, west Mayo ect.

It's not really spoken much anywhere esle though - unfortuantley. I speak Irish at home sometimes too. I really like it and it's defintley worth having a go at learning if you ever come here!

[MarilynMonroe4eva]

@CanadianQueer

hahaha no! people speak english in ireland nearly everywhere (except the west)

[supersmileyface97]

@CanadianQueer naw only on the arann islands off the coast but you'd still come across the odd peron speaking irish because they might prefer it to english :)

[IamDaReAlSeaN]

@CanadianQueer

There aren't many native speakers about 60,000, but there are many many fluent speakers, and most people have a command of it. I'm near fluent, still learning. There is a renewed interested in the language, so the number of fluent speakers and first-language speakers has boomed. I learned it out of interest, don't want to see my country's native language and culture fade away. People disliking their own country's native language is a phonomenon I believe is exclusive to Ireland

[bronahartemusic]

@CanadianQueer No, only if ur in an irish school like me (:

[ChocolateMadness5000]

@CanadianQueer the majority of people speak english, but you will find parts of the country that have irish as their first language. Every school teaches irish so basically EVERYONE (I mean everyone) knows these:

hello (Dia duit)

hello to you too (Dia is muire duit)

how are you (conas a tá tu?)

I'm good. (Tá mé go maith)

thank you (Go raibh maith agat)

please (Más é do thoil é)

can i go to the bathroom (An bhfuil cad agam dul go dtí an leithras)

for most irish people , thats all they know :P

[spadinajack]

Jes, YOU get purtier every minute !

[Fronlax]

Nice eyes, but terrible teeth.

[betrayed1]

@gggggg501

[greenieactress11]

[sintoeaglecen]

[greenieactress11]

thank you!

[TheMicko71]

@greenieactress11 conas a dearfa,

[MidnightDC696969]

[Niandralades91]

Gaeilge is taught totally wrong in schools. They are teaching you to sit an exam not to speak fluently. i will learn it out of school someday

[sarge6925]

Please help me!!! Can you translate this ta me i mo chonai a deach mallog i maile leath cliath agus as evan maite chonaha. I know this part: I live in????????

I dont know the rest its a province but its in irish?

I might have spelt a thnig or more wrong.

[speedmurf]

Well I presume you meant...

Tá mé ina conaí deich mílte as Baile Atha Cliath agus...(were you trying to say Dublin is in Leinster?)

I live ten miles from Dublin and...

I tried, sorry...

[shayno90]

@sarge6925 Seems like you were trying to say "I live in house in Dublin and I like my residence nó as Gaeilge "Táim i mo chónaí i Baile Atha Cliath (not sure of the area here) agus is aoibhinn liom m' áit chonaithe.

Cúige Laighean is Leinster as Gaeilge btw.

[VicDaSlikAK]

[happyguy20]

[speedmurf]

Yes...unfortunately

[shittyairline]

[Joelwww7]

[Rastacrat]

[markinhosxxx]

Wonderful eyes

[Ulsterfree]

diddo, she has gorgeous eyes ooooohhhh!!!!!

[dimgwalltameiben]

It saddens and amazes me that most ppl in Ireland don't want to speak Irish. It's such a beautiful gentle language.

[GaryRingland1963]

Thank u!

[MephistophelesMyLord]

Why don't they want to speak Irish?

[Tejinu]

Its different all over the country. Irish is spoken more widely in the south and west than it is anywhere else. Its barely spoken where I'm from, but recognised all over.

[littlesars]

Its not that we dont want to.. its to do with history and the English people making us all speak english when they came to Ireland years ago.. thats how our language is almost gone :(:(

[kumagokathy123]

@MephistophelesMyLord because most people in ireland learn english at home and only start to learn irish in school and the way its taught in the schools isnt great and makes most people hate it.only by going to the gaeltacht did i start to like speaking irish i absoultly hate it in school.

[jimbobeire]

@kumagokathy123 Same here. Any time I get up to Connemara or Erris, I like to use conversational Irish. What they thought us in school was how to discuss poems and stories. About as much use as a glass hammer.

[speedmurf]

I really want to be fluent but I'm not going to become fluent learning it in school, I will hopefully (as is my plan) move to the Gaeltacht (Irish speaking region) when I am older and learn it PROPERLY

[aine8891]

How to pronounce irish names: well first of all my name is aine (girls name) and its pronounced on-ya. aoife- "e-fa" seamus- "shay-mus". Tadhg "tie-gh" Diarmuid "deer-mid" Liam- "lee-um" Maire-"my-rah"

[wqpeb]

SWEET! Now tell me how to pronounce the great Irish names!

Fascinating how nothing seems to make many sense to us unfortunate ones. Aoife. That one had me fooled. Is it not Eeefe' or whatever?

And so many many more. Seamus is really Hamish?

Anyway,Love ya.

[indielover08]

Hi :) I'm American, from California. In Ireland, do most people speak this language? Or does most speak English on a daily basis?

I am absolutely in love with your accents. My goodness. Too bad California doesn't have an accent ;)

[jamespatrick15]

every 1 speaks english more than irish. but gealic(irishg)is the 1st laungrege of the country.

[indielover08]

Oh :) Well, thank you for answering! :) By the way you're beautiful!

[jamespatrick15]

[indielover08]

oh just kidding, I didn't read the name, thought it was the girl answering. PSH, how embarrassing.

Maybe you're beautiful? :)

[metalmusi]

everyone has an accent man..

[indielover08]

That's why I added a winky face. I know California has an accent, but it's not as cool as everyone else. We are so plain. And I'm a girl. lol

[metalmusi]

ok haha.. everyone has an accent girl.. yeah i am colombian, but I moved to the us and learn how to speak english and i udes to be ashamed of my english, but then someone made me realize that no matter where you are from everyone has an accent.

[langerdan1000]

na not at all everyone speaks english most people only speak bog standard irish.. or basic irish

[RachLovesMusicxO]

Helpful, Thankin ya. :)

I love irish. :D

[PeterCronin08]

lol when will the situation of someone talking to you in irish come up and even if it does they understand english so talk normally ^^

[jamespatrick15]

there a camp where you have to spend the week speaking irish . there words the americans and all use that are irish even i didnt now they were irish words till my irish class. there a new word feck witch is like the nicer fuck. but we use it 4 comedy here it a funny word course it was a made up word on farther ted a irish sitcom

[xoxminnxox]

[greenieactress11]

whoops, i'm dumb! i didn't look at the other videos, SORRY!!!

[greenieactress11]

Do you think you could do a video about how to say greetings and how to have a small conversation in gaelic ?

[Franclorn]

Jaysis!

[TheInfinityEffect]

[silent0saint]

Have you ever heard of Irish Gaelic?

[speedmurf]

It's not Irish Gaelic, it's Irish when said in English and Gaeilge in well Irish

[jordie1234567890]

most of irish speak english, only very few speak it

[ehmioacllewen]

Ya its sad that only 10% of Irish people speak Irish every day. =[

Jesjes, you're intelligent, curious, beautiful and engaging. Ignore the petty, ignorant and hateful comments on here.

[TheGreatPotota]

Why the hate? She looks like a Potato Coon. She sounds like a Potato Coon. Odds are the seh IS a Potato Coon.

[SRArepublican3]

cause i hate fakes and she most likley is a "potato coon"!!!

[tyrteasof010]

whats wrong with her pronunciation!!! i love ur english pronunciation its really nice and understandable-..thanks!

[UBER069]

oh my GAWD I love the accent of Irish Women. After I post this my lovely, I have to go take a cold shower. I think the trick for me to learn to understand Irish, is to meet you in person, get stinking fucking drunk with you and just have you babble on in Gaelic ( it is Gaelic isn't it correct me if I am a dullard). The whole time you are yammering on in Irish of course, you will have to defend yourself from me soundly because I will have an awful time trying not to bed you down. You're delicious

[abelfastlad]

focal or fuckall?

[roisin2k88]

FOCAL !

God , Im Irish and I've been learning it for ages so .... I understand ALOT !

[abelfastlad]
