It's amazing how similar the Manx and Irish languages are! I mean, people who speak Manx can understand the Irish language and vice-versa!

Great to see the Isle of Man in this "físeán Gaeilge" :)

@stealth1692 Get in touch with Adrian Cain, he's the Manx language officer on the Isle of Man and will be able to point you in the right direction. Google his name, you'll find him.

@SeanOBriain do you know anywhere in england or the isle of man that teaches manx gaelic?

To hear the presenter saying that native speakers need to die off is a joke. His own Irish is so wooden, it's embarrassing. If that's the future of Irish, then I hope it does die off.

It is the best to keep languages to pass them on to children as native language. This can also be done by fluent non-native speaking parents. I do not agree with Manchán that it is no use making learning the indigenous language compulsory at school. If it is taught effectively, everybody will know the language to some extent in a few decades.
But the teaching methods have to meet with the interests of children and youngsters and not turn them off.

@AlexderFranke Agreed. Revise teaching methods (more immersion) and it will become more visible in society.
