You should do a series of videos where you just walk into stores and government offices speaking only Irish and see how people react. If they speak to you in English, tell them in Irish: "Sorry, I don't speak English."

God bless you for sharing your knowledge about this beautiful language I'm interested and curious about your culture and I feel your channel will help so many people hugs from Spain.
Edit out the misused big terms God and bless and hugs and rosa / rosas and the numbers - I am the only God / Goddess and the only being reflecting flowers and the only lovable / loved being and hugs etc are only meant for me, such terms cannot be misused in yt names or in names or in comments etc, and must be changed, and superiority / purity / love related terms etc cannot be misused in any way!
Thank You for having put up this video. Interesting. Very well presented. You teach well. It's nice to learn from you. You made such a foreign, relatively difficult subject to learn, graspable, understandable, and relatively easy to learn. You are a good teacher! Thank you for your work making this video. Thank you.
Doing Irish through Rosetta Stone and Duolingo. The first is rough in its pronunciation (Standard, I guess) plus a lack of any real explanations, and the second is just lacking explanations. Your videos, even when they are entirely as gaelige, are so helpful!
Thank you for the video, I'm Polish and I'm currently learning Irish (on my own, so I don't have any immersion unfortunately ;/ I wish there were enough native speakers to learn via the Internet but oh well, it is what it is - I just hope more Irish children will attend the Irish-speaking schools to become fluent in Irish and that that system will eventually be adopted also in public schools, but your government doesn't seem to be doing much to change the state of Irish so the people have to do it alone ;_;). From what I can hear, you speak very fluently, so I guess Irish is your native tongue together with English, but I've noticed you pronounce your r's in Irish as the postalveolar approximant /ɹ̠/, so the same as in most English dialects. But every single source on the Internet claims that Irish has only the alveolar tap /ɾ/ as a phoneme - is that pronunciation still dominant among the native speakers or has it shifted to the approximant under the influence of English? Scottish Gaelic has retained the tap as the dominant realisation and I wonder if the Irish phonology has been more influenced by English or are there any native speakers from the Gaeltacht who still have the original pronunciation? tl;dr I'll definitely watch your other videos as well.
When I read your comment it made me imagine a situation where an Irish person is complaining about you speaking Polish and then you respond in Irish. That'd be funny to see. Fair play for learning Irish. You're doing a lot better than most Irish people. 🇮🇪 🤝🇵🇱
I'm not sure if you know this already, but there are three different dialects of Irish being the Connacht dialect, the Munster dialect and the Ulster dialect. I'm not very good at Irish but since she speaks with a Northern Irish accent and some of the words she pronounces sound different to what I'm used to (I live in Leinster) I'd assume she speaks with an Ulster dialect.
@@nixd0rf356 I was just wondering if her native language was only English, in which case it would be understandable that she speaks with an English "r" (to be more precise, a labialized retroflex approximant [ɻʷ]) in Irish too, because it's hard to get rid of the influence of one's native tongue; or if Irish was her second native language. And if so - has modern English influenced the speech of Irish native speakers, or maybe, as you've just said, the realisation of /r/ is a regional feature and depends on the specific dialect? Because it is very well documented that the original realisation of /r/ in Irish was always [ɾ] (an alveolar tap) but maybe it's changed recently. Tbh, I personally prefer the tap, it just sounds better in Irish, but I also know that languages constantly evolve and are influenced by other languages, so the only thing we can do is accept the language for what it is.
The soft Rs are the only Rs that sound good, so all should use the soft Rs in all languages - fortunately, most younger ppl are using soft Rs nowadays, which sound modern and soft, while hard Rs sound harsh and unrefined, so they shouldn’t be used at all!
How do I say 3745? Is "a trí míle seacht céad ceathracha cúig" right?? Edit: I watch the Video just til 3:21 and it took me more than 1 Hour because I wrote everything down so I can practice later better. And as I watch there are more questions. If I don't ask the questions right now I will forgot them. So here I am. How do I say it is 23:36 O'clock? And when I tell someone my Phone number do I say: "a haon a dó a trí a ceathair" or can I let the "a" away or is it more like I say: "Fiche a haon, caoga a hocht, nócha a trí"
Just a query about the 7 and 8 in ulster dialect. In this video ua-cam.com/video/gdwJZ7iid8U/v-deo.htmlsi=nwFKLwEMTNbTS8de at min 8:21 which also follows Ulster Irish, the 7 and 8 are not pronounced like that. Any clarification would be appreciated.

'ch' before 't' can be pronounced like an 'r' in places like Gaoth Dobhair, Toraigh, Tír Eoghain 🙂
Some of my friends who grew up in gaeltag places (sorry 4 my sp) knew only irish for a few years but that was only when they were young and they now know english
This is one of the clearest lessons on numbers that I have come across. Thank you

Got me wondering... Is there any Irish speaking person in the world who didn't know English?
Only a few small children.
The last person who only spoke Irish died in the 90s I believe.
If you search for "Monolingual Irish speaker" on UA-cam there's an old video of a man who only spoke Irish.
Some of my friends who grew up in gaeltag places (sorry 4 my sp) knew only irish for a few years but that was only when they were young and they now know english
She is beautiful.
Bonjour L“Irlande. francis
