Excellent explication of vocabulary and grammar as well as pronunciation which is of the highest importance in controlling a language! I’m happy to have stumbled upon your UA-cam video. Thanks very much for sharing your knowledge!
I'm an American poet living in Ireland, attempting to learn Irish, so this is wonderful! Thanks!
And new Patron here as well :)
You sound creative. Best wishes and thanks very much for your support 😊
This was great! I’d love to see more videos that use Irish language poems to teach. Go raibh maith agat!
It was a good suggestion from someone in the comments section and certainly a good way to learn.
Maidin mhaith! Thank you so much for doing these videos! They are some of the best I've seen on UA-cam and are a great help to me!
Great to hear and it's my pleasure, slán go fóill 🙂
Very difficult subject matter. Well handled, mo chara. Nice model on which to build more of the same. Keep up the good work!
Beautiful job! Integrates language and literature.
Thank you, it's a lovely poem, Caitlín Maude should get any credit going

Your poems seem to be going down very well. I enjoyed this video too. Go raibh maith agut!
Variety is the spice of life and I think its a good idea in a UA-cam channel too 🙂
Excellent!
Thank you
GRMMA arìs Dane. A poignant , nostalgic poem dealing with the loss of virility in old age. Please do more poems as it really is a motivatng way to learn and remember new vocabulary. Keep well, a chara.

Go raibh maith agat agus slán go fóill!😀👍
Míle buíochas agus beannachtaí, beidh mé ar ais go luath le cúnamh Dé.
Great video! Would it be possible to have a vid on Irish poetry forms, like the limerick and so on? It would be great to see how they compare to Welsh, which in my opinion is the dog's bollocks when it comes to poetry ;D
I always remember S4C growing up because we could get that in the South East, I'll certainly look into that, I was considering doing a comparison with Welsh so I'll have to try and learn a few Welsh words.
@@LearnIrish If you want, I can give you a list that I've noticed are similar. Although the spelling and pronunciation is so different, when I see the meaning of an Irish word, I can often see it's actually quite similar to the Welsh word, which is another reason Irish is so awesome
@@LearnIrish a quick example for you, I once asked my boss from North Wales how much milk he wanted in his coffee and he said 'joch' which apparently means a splash up there and made me laugh when I found out deoch is a drink in Irish haha
Very good 😁 please email me on danetyghe@gmail.com and I'll have a look, could be the makings for a great video.

Is there any reason your broad and slender rs are more like those of English? Would be nice to hear some good examples of Irish broad/slender constant pronunciation
Perhaps you might be a bit more specific, what words are you referring to?
I just mean that your pronunciation of the Irish tapped broad rs [ɾ] and slender rs [ɾʲ] are both the English phoneme [ɹ]. I assumed that you were a native L1 speaker, so it was strange to hear use using otherwise English sounds
First example is this video is teochreasa
That's the way they come out for me, but I'm not a native speaker, I have learned Irish all through school and speak it as often as possible. You mentioned Teochreasa, what do you mean by that?
You pronounce teochreasa in the video with the aspirated English r, like in the word regret. The Irish slender r here would to the best of my descriptive abilities be pronounced as a r/d/z ish sound, as I'm sure you're aware. Fyi in your Spanish Irish video you pronounce the tapped r in Rey (although rolled in Spanish) as it would be in broad rs in Irish. Would be nice to hear you try and use it in your videos 😁
Had'nt heard of the the writer, i will find more of her work.
Go raibh maith agat agus slan.
Well done I'm glad to help you with these videos
@@LearnIrish Dia duit.
So i went off and checked the poet out, very sad such a young girl. She also sang as Gaeilge and her full Album is here on youtube.👍
Go raibh maith agat as seo.
I have a video request le do thoil.
It might be a lot to ask for, but could you please make a video sometime with some tips on sentence construction?
So far, I've found that sentence construction has been very challenging (for me atleast).
I'm not confused with basic stuff like the order of words (I know it's a verb-subject-object format), and I realize it's an entirely different language, so not all sentences have the direct same translation (e.g. fuair sí bás le hailse literally means "she died WITH cancer" and not "OF cancer"), but I never know which preposition to use where, even though I know what they're English equivalents are.
So if it's possible, I would REALLY be grateful for ANY tips & tricks you have on sentence construction please.
I know that what I'm asking for is extremely broad and unspecific, and there probably aren't any tips for these kinda things, but for example: is there any reason why it's "Cad is ainm duit" and not "Cad is d'ainm"? Or is it just something one needs to get used to.
I hope that what I'm saying makes sense, and sorry if it doesn't...
Thanks again for the video! Beautiful poem!
The best advice I can provide you is the following - please don't directly compare English to Irish, they are completely different languages with utterly different grammar rules. If you search for answers by wondering why an ancient and poetic Celtic language doesn't somehow follow the rules of a much younger Germanic language, then perhaps you need to adjust your way of thinking. Happiness awaits on the other side, join us.
