Don't worry about dialects, a learner of English doesn't concern themselves with whether it's Scottish English or London English or American English. Just learn and embrace the language, it's all the one language.
Came over to Ireland about 24 years ago. Fall in love with the language and Ireland. learned Irish, as a brown person just so I can sing the national anthem the Amhran Na Bhfiann (warriors song) since then I never stopped learning. I say to this gentlemen go raibh míle maith agat!
I'm Russian and I'm eager to learn Irish! Yesterday I realized that the only way I can do it now is by audio-video course. Your videos are really helpful! Go raibh maith agat very much!
Success today Dane, I spoke to my Irish senior citizen friend in Irish who lives in my building.He was absolutely flabbergasted. I felt great! Go raibh maith agat ! Slan
My family moved over here during the famine, so we've lost all Irish speakers in the family, hopefully this will bring Irish back into the family! Thanks for the help :D
I wonder why we irish-americans stopped speaking irish. Especially considering other european immigrants like the italians, polish, yiddish? etc. still speak their original languages among family to some extent. (not all of course and probably dwindling but historically you know what I mean) It’s interesting 🤔
I had Irish ancestors who came over to the US during the Famine. At some point I guess they eventually spoke only English. I'm currently learning both Irish & Spanish to connect to both sides of my bloodlines and wish to visit both Ireland and Mexico someday. Using Duolingo for now as well as youtube resources such as this. This video is super helpful!!
Thanks John, glad to hear that. I think this pace and this content is suitable for a lot of people. I plan to keep making one or two videos per week. Best of luck with your learning.
I am visiting Galway soon and preparing myself to interact with `the locals. I am writing the sentences as I hear them (omitting the unpronounceable consonants). I just need basic phrases to communicate with people. Thanks for the video!
Very interesting! As I have just received my first Irish passport, I thought I'd try to learn a few words. My Irish father used to say Go raibh maith agat, but I thought it meant 'How are you' - thanks for putting me right after all these years!!
Dane, I love your site as many,. Bring a Scottish Gaelic speaker from The Gaelic College in My Country Canada out in Caoe Breton Nova Scotia. They teach their students both left and right fadas
love all the variations. i've been hunting around youtube for good irish-language beginner videos, and this one was helpful. i like that you focus on practical options that might be needed right away. i've posted two practice videos on my channel so far as i'm learning; would appreciate any feedback or comments from anyone who wants to practice irish together!
Thank you very much, I was looking for Irish language videos a while ago and was shocked to discover that there was basically nothing available so I decided to make my own. I will check out your channel, well done.
Gael-Astrálach is mé, and I appreciate your videos so much. I didn't have much opportunity to speak with my grandmother while I was a kid so now I am learning as an adult! Super helpful - go raibh maith agat!!
Hey Dane, I've just found your channel and I'm keen to learn. I was exempt in school so never learned how to speak Irish so now I'd like to be able to speak it. If you had any advice for a complete novice without a word of Irish I'd love to hear it. Thank you & thanks so much for these videos 😊
My advice is to start off with basic words and then move on to the Irish verb bí, perhaps look out for beginners classes in your area. Take it one step at a time and don't worry about fluency.
I have to say I laughed out loud. I'm Irish, and I never expected 'I'm on the pig's back' to be taught in Irish. It's not a phrase I ever hear these days, or ever use. It's a very old fashioned phrase and possibly only used by the older generation outside the cities. Great Fun!
Agreed, but maybe I'm now considered "the older generation." I'm from Co. Down, and if someone said this in a social context, it wouldn't be remarkable.
I like your speed and vocal tone in these 'new to me' phrases but more your enunciation . I can listen when I am tired and still take in what you are saying.
I wonder if you could go over the poem Pangur Ban and point out the differences between 9th century Irish and what the language is today. Also, as I read the English translations, I know that it must have been wound up some to fit it into a recognizable meter and rhyme, etc. Can you explain some of that? It seems like such a beautiful poem, I would like to learn more.
I'm Russian and I can't explain why but it's already 6 years since I fell in love with Ireland, her culture, languageand history. Exactly her but not it's, I'm sure every country is alive and has an own soul. I try to learn Irish Gaeilge but it's quite hard. 😅
I speak English fluently and I can sign in ASL a little so I've never spoke a different language besides English 😂 I love the way it feels on my tounge to say these words Go raibh maith agat!
In two weeks I'm going to Irland with my english class and I took the opportunity to learn as much irish as possible to impress my english teacher AND our tutor in Dublin. I'm looking forward! Go raibh maith agat :)
@@LearnIrish I love it here! I did impress my tutor and my classmates. I'm in Dublin since Monday and tomorrow we're heading up to Galway for the weekend. They said I could use my irish gaelic in Galway more than here in Dublin so I'm preparing for a (hopefully) not embarrassing conversation.
My great grandmother came to the US from Ireland but unfortunately died before I was able to meet her and learn the language. Im very interested in learning.
The learning starts now, good luck on your journey but don't forget to learn more about the history of Ireland and how we had to deal with the horrors of British imperial rule.

Anyway, I would like to learn Irish and try to impress him a little and also want to visit Ireland one day.
Great video, thanks Dane! I'm French, I love the Irish language and Irish music... I'd like to move over when the situation will allow for it. Currently learning Irish to better understand and appreciate it, especially in songs. Have you already made a video on the major regional differences in pronunciation? If not, could you recommend one? :-)
It can be tricky but well worth the effort, for a native English speaker learning the Irish language would definitely be one of the most challenging European languages to learn due to the unique pronunciation and different word order.
@@LearnIrish i am an american, but my parents born in Ireland, strangely, Irish words really roll off the tongue for me, and i find pronunciation almost naturally easy
Thank you for this. I am Jewish, but I wanted to learn another language of my heritage. This is a very helpful start. Go raibh maith agat(as cliched as that seems to be in the comments on this video).
My pleasure and I wish you every success on your journey, the sentence structure of Irish and Hebrew have some similarities re the word order so this might smooth your passage slightly. Bail ó dhia ort.
Virgo. Easy on the eyes. Nice, pleasant male voice. Lots of material and authentically Irish. Not in Killarney, my future home but...ah, Ireland's a small place. Okay, I'm in. Let's see how it goes. Love the grammar book and dictionary, not so crazy about the MAC but then again, Ireland is the money laundry capital of Apple and Google. If you help me learn Irish, I'll buy you dinner and a few rounds. Got a question for you, if I may know, please sir. I taught myself Spanish to C1 in 3 years but, that was at 10 hours per day. When I tried to learn German, everything I said sounded like a Spaniard in Berlin. I see the tú above, the exact same in Spanish and I’m wondering, do Spaniards who learn Irish sound better or more Irish than others? Would you say the vowels in Spanish are far more sharp and that’s about it? Also, that n- is the same as ñ (ny) in Spanish? This is fun!!
I was brought up to know féin to be pronounced as hayn. I speak Ulster Irish. ☘️ You are a wonderful teacher. I have friends who wish for to learn Gaeilge, but I don’t have the proper patience. I’ll be referring them to your videos!
It's similar to the fact that the Donegal accent is different from the Kerry and Dublin accents - it's a fact of life and something to be celebrated. Thank you for your support 😊
Oh really Kuşadası is great place I hope you got on the coach. . Every city of Turkey is like a different country. I live in Istanbul, and if you come one day I'll be happy to host you
Thanks, again, Dane!! You really are a wonderfully gracious and patient teacher. Your videos are easy to listen to, watch and even repeat for greater emphasis on remembering. Excellent job!😃
Just found these videos. I am an Irish American living in the west. Can’t seem to pick this language up. Can you do any videos on verbs. Ie; to be or I am etc. Is this the same as Connemara Irish? My husband isn’t much help. Thanks.
Firstly don't worry about Connemara Irish or any dialects - it's all the same language anyway. I have lots of videos on verbs, please check out the link below - ua-cam.com/play/PLXMkk3dIbp2mlpHmQ8I5aRNd_EI-0rUe2.html
Dia duit, Dane ! Can you use one word answers to some questions? Example: Cad é mar atá tú? Can you just reply : Go math, go raibh maith agat. Or.if someone asks... How is your meal ? Can you just say: An blasta. (I know I totally misspelled blasta 🙄...sorry ). Or do you have to use the full sentence? Tá sé blásta. Thanks ❤️
@@LearnIrish Thank you!! I saw the words "lach garman" on a monument atop Vinegar Hill where my ancestor, Thomas Gorman (Garman) was killed fighting the British. I'm descended from Gormans from that area, so naturally I was curious.... And very proud.
That's very interesting, I actually grew up in Enniscorthy and went to St. Senans primary school on the base of Vinegar hill. The world is a small place 😊🌍
@@LearnIrish I've been trying to research the history a bit, quite curious to know what became of the casualties of that battle. Were they buried in a mass grave, or were the families allowed to claim the bodies for proper burial. And where might my ancestor be buried. I LOVED Enniscorthy! Stayed at Wilton Castle on our visit there. It was my first trip to Ireland and I landed in that spot by total coincidence, not knowing anything about Vinegar Hill. I'm American, from Florida.
is there something wrong with Google translate??? it says that ta me ar mhuin na muice means " im on the mice" i took beginner's Irish with Cumen na Gailige at John Jay night school and i never heard this expression i also have a de Bhaldraithe dictionary and Buntus a Caint but im listening to your lessons for pronunciation
You must not rely on Google translate, it might be acceptable to translate single words but not phrases, it's simply not accurate enough and if you rely on it you will make a big mistake. Have you tried Duolingo?
Yes Duolingo is great, it's an app you download to your phone and you can test yourself and hear pronunciations and you can track your progress, I would recommend that you look into it.
@@LearnIrish no unfortunately I haven't been be able to trace my ancestry I haven't any found Crowleys that's my surname in Ireland I'm not sure if any of my forebears were Irish speakers I would be surprised they where since they hailed from the Irish speaking area from know as the gaeldetch region where Irish is spoken, I reserched people with my surname there is far more people in England with my surname than there is in Ireland my roots are Anglo Irish meaning my Irish ancestors intermarried with English people that has been happening for years in England and Ireland moving back and forth between two countries my ancestors originated in Dunmanway which west of Cork not far from where Michael Collins came from.
Some times it can be a w or a V sound and at times it depends on the dialect. I wouldn't worry about it too much, I think the most important thing is to get to know conversational Irish first and then worry about the grammar later.
Seems "GO" is the only 'Auxillary' in Irish. I may be wrong. In English, there is 'GO', 'BE', and 'DO'. In French = 'être' et 'avoir'. 'Faire / "DO" = isn't an auxillary in French.
Celtic is a general name given to the family of languages or group of people that includes Irish, Welsh and Cornish among others. Gaelic specifically refers to Irish, Scottish Gaelic and Manx. But Scottish Gaelic and Manx originate from old Irish.
@@LearnIrish Celtic includes a large array of people that were pre-roman who inhabited from Austria to Ireland. The Gauls, for instance, were Keltoi. It really gets on my nerves when people talk about British and Irish people being "the Celts". en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ancient_Celtic_peoples_and_tribes

That's very interesting, I actually grew up in Enniscorthy and went to St. Senans primary school on the base of Vinegar hill. The world is a small place 😊🌍
@@LearnIrish ♥️
@@LearnIrish I've been trying to research the history a bit, quite curious to know what became of the casualties of that battle. Were they buried in a mass grave, or were the families allowed to claim the bodies for proper burial. And where might my ancestor be buried. I LOVED Enniscorthy! Stayed at Wilton Castle on our visit there. It was my first trip to Ireland and I landed in that spot by total coincidence, not knowing anything about Vinegar Hill. I'm American, from Florida.
Go raibh maith agat! Taim ag usaid Duolingo?
Bain triail as Ling, tá sé níos fearr.
is there something wrong with Google translate??? it says that ta me ar mhuin na muice means " im on the mice"
i took beginner's Irish with Cumen na Gailige at John Jay night school and i never heard this expression
i also have a de Bhaldraithe dictionary and Buntus a Caint but im listening to your lessons for pronunciation
You must not rely on Google translate, it might be acceptable to translate single words but not phrases, it's simply not accurate enough and if you rely on it you will make a big mistake. Have you tried Duolingo?
@@LearnIrish no i havent-im trying to brush up on what i learned in night school and progress from there-is Duolingo good for that???
Yes Duolingo is great, it's an app you download to your phone and you can test yourself and hear pronunciations and you can track your progress, I would recommend that you look into it.
@@LearnIrish go raibh maith agat i will do that now
Best of luck - go n-éirí leat
I should learn Irish my ancestry is Irish it would useful to me.
Definitely, get in touch with your past bt learning the language of your forefathers
@@LearnIrish no unfortunately I haven't been be able to trace my ancestry I haven't any found Crowleys that's my surname in Ireland I'm not sure if any of my forebears were Irish speakers I would be surprised they where since they hailed from the Irish speaking area from know as the gaeldetch region where Irish is spoken, I reserched people with my surname there is far more people in England with my surname than there is in Ireland my roots are Anglo Irish meaning my Irish ancestors intermarried with English people that has been happening for years in England and Ireland moving back and forth between two countries my ancestors originated in Dunmanway which west of Cork not far from where Michael Collins came from.
If your ancestors hailed from West Cork they would have been Irish speakers, especially if before the mid to late 1800s
@@LearnIrish is there anyone in Ireland that only speaks Irish and cannot speak English I mean adults that don't speak English and only Irish.
Yes I would certainly say so, especially oder people on the west coast.

How come the bh comes out a 'w' rather than a 'v'? I'm confused.
Some times it can be a w or a V sound and at times it depends on the dialect. I wouldn't worry about it too much, I think the most important thing is to get to know conversational Irish first and then worry about the grammar later.
Hi I am Indian and I love to learn the Irish language. Can anyone teach me more please 🙏
Seems "GO" is the only 'Auxillary' in Irish. I may be wrong. In English, there is 'GO', 'BE', and 'DO'. In French = 'être' et 'avoir'. 'Faire / "DO" = isn't an auxillary in French.
Perhaps, it's not something I've thought about too much.
Using Duolingo I'm learning that bionn siad means they do be. That might be correct but it sounds grammatically wacky, Kind of like Ebonics, I guess

Is Celtics different from Gaelic
Celtic is a general name given to the family of languages or group of people that includes Irish, Welsh and Cornish among others. Gaelic specifically refers to Irish, Scottish Gaelic and Manx. But Scottish Gaelic and Manx originate from old Irish.
@@LearnIrish Celtic includes a large array of people that were pre-roman who inhabited from Austria to Ireland.
The Gauls, for instance, were Keltoi. It really gets on my nerves when people talk about British and Irish people being "the Celts".
