[Brownton4]

MM HMMMM I hope I go to Ireland and find a beautiful lass like this.

[RACHELTAYLOR7]

Thats so similar to Scots gaelic.A lot of the words are the same.

[scd53]

Seán is ainm dom. Tá Gaeilge agam agus Tá mé i mo chónaí in Texas. Éirinn go brach!

[eoinhurleytv2]

[ojideagu]

@1994paramorefan Lol she's talking complete Aim Shit.

Is Aim Shit the new messenger from AOL?

[adambirsfelden]

it's sounds like dutch

[Niroshani]

@adambirsfelden Where are you from??? It's nothing like Dutch :D But I guess when you don't speak either of the languages it could :D As a dutch person I can tell you that I did not understand any of the words because they don't look like dutch at all.

[JoannaSlytherin]

Irish is so cool! I really like the language <3

[mucalinda]

She's got a very nice accent , both in English and in Irish. What part of Ireland is that Gaelic from?

[daveobri]

@mucalinda She states in an earlier version that she speaks Connemara Irish(west of Ireland)

[mucalinda]

@daveobri Thanks :-)

[whiked2112]

For those of you wishing to learn Irish. You can, the only thing stopping you is yourself.

[ManuelBetten]

@whiked2112 and there on nobody in the world who you could talk to

[whiked2112]

@ManuelBetten There are some you can talk to. Not much though. The language is generating more interest than you might think.

[XXxvampiregirlx]

she said aimsir rong

[CauDyGegDiolch]

what a lovely language to listen to, it sounds very similar to croatian

[mara235]

ag cur or ag cuir = Putting or literally, at putting. So it is ''at putting rain''' or ''at putting snow''. Just to let folks learning what the language is saying.

[jaboalable]

read my first comment first to last.

[fhetherton]

You are wrong.

If you like it, then it is worth it.

If you do not like it then it does not matter.

[jaboalable]

to learn it. most people leran it the hole way up to the end of secondary school which is the same as learning it up to the endof highschool or what ever you call you school.trust me its more hassle than its worth. exspesaly if your english because they cant prenouce words for there lifes

[jaboalable]

why are people dying to learn irish?

its more complicated than this makes it out to be this stuff is for bloody 4 to 10 yr olds if not younger and theres the present past and future tenses to learn to and then the rules that go with them and the irrugualar words and then theres the extra letters you add on take off ect. theres other rules and other words that have there own set of rules. its more hassle than its worth and i know it ive learnd it sice i was born and it will thake ye a while

[Khanstorm]

Well I'm taking latin at the moment, and the two have been complementing each other very well. Largely due to a lot of exposure to inflections and the like.
