Hi I’m an Irish man I’m from Kerry I never learned Irish in school because of the fact that I’m dyslexic I couldn’t keep up with the class this way is absolutely fantastic for me I love the fact that I can learn the IrishLanguage this way
i learnt Irish for one year in 2017-2018 every week for a year. I have learnt more in watching your Introducing Yourself in Irish. I can relate to your teaching style. You are a an excellent and proficient teacher. Thank you.
I've received many Irish lessons over the last 10 years and the pronunciation is always different. I've come to the conclusion that they must all be right. I'm still a lowly cúpla focal speaker as there aren't many opportunities to practice where I live. I do adore the language though. Thank you for the video.
My pleasure, and good luck with your journey. If you go to America, Scotland, Australia and Canada you'll notice lots of differences in the way their English words are pronounced.
Thanks for your videos. After I say hello to a person. I ask "how do you feel today?". How do you ask someone how they feel in Irish? Please consider setting up a patron account. A lot of UA-camrs find it more beneficial than PayPal.
Amazing video, man! I really loved it 😁. I'm happy to know that you took my advice of last video. Unfortunately, I can't donate to you yet, but someday I'll do it. Keep your great work, please 🙏🏽. beannachtaí ón Brazil (I don't know if it's right haha) 🇧🇷🇨🇮
I'm going to 1st year like in 3 days and I was worried I'd mess up my Irish because I'm not the best at it- But this was REALLY helpful like REALLYY helpful thanks so much 😊
Chomh úsáideach, cosúil le i gcónaí. Go raibh maith agat Dane. I was just wondering: how exactly would someone say “I know” for both nouns and actions? I know “Tá a fhios agam” and “Is eol dom”, but I’m not quite sure of how to structure the whole phrase. So how would you say: “I know what you did” (a noun)? “I know that you did it” (an action)?
Tá a fhios agam go ndearna tú é = I know you did it. Tá a fhios agam cad a rinne tú = i know what you did. You need to use the irregular Irish verb Déan which means to do or make but it morphs into ní dhearna/go ndearna etc too depending on the context.
Apparently so but it depends on the sentence plus there's many alternatives to saying that, for example you could use different verbs and diff questions like cad a tharla etc.
Dia duit 😊 Just want to say I love your channel. Being quarantined in Sweden, I am trying to learn a little Irish. And believe it or not, but I have found a few similarities between Irish and Norwegian 😁 Like BORD = table Same in Norwegian... very interesting language to learn, but also very difficult. Again, thank you for a great channel.
For a speaker of Germanic languages like English and Norwegian it is going to be tricky to get to grips with Irish but I'm delighted to be able to help and I hope you keep at it, déan do dhícheall agus de réir a chéile beidh tú ag feabhsú (try your best and eventually you'll see improvements) if you notice any other similarities between Norwegian and Irish please email me on danetyghe@gmail.com because I wondered if there would be parallels between these languages considering our viking past.
@@LearnIrish I will most definitely let you know 😊 Could I just ask one thing from you?? Could you please take it a bit slower sometimes, and repeat the Irish word a little slower?? It's tricky to hear it correctly sometimes. And I'm also a bit confused with the pronunciation of some words. Because I listen to different teachers, and they all pronounce the same word a bit differently. Like Dia duit.. The last word has been said in 3 different ways so far, and I'm getting a bit confused. 🙃🙂
Thank you for your feedback and I understand what you mean, the pronunciation of the Irish language is very dependent on the dialect, so I would say Dia duit like "deea ghuit" but that's because I am from the South of Ireland. You should refer to www.focloir.ie which is a great online dictionary with lots of audio files where you can listen to the pronunciation from the 3 main dialects.
@@LearnIrish Thank you, thank you, thank you 😊 I was wondering if it had to do with dialect... and the way they speak in Dublin, is that also how you speak??
In a way yes, Dublin doesn't necessarily have a dialect so it would entirely depend on the person you are talking to or who influenced their Irish. There is an unofficial fourth "dialect" called standard Irish which is often what is thought in schools and is a bit of a mixture of the 3 dialects. The most important thing is to remember that it is all the same language anyway and to enjoy the journey 🙂
Hello, thank you for the video. It was very useful but I can't help but wonder how would you say (if you can) "I am [name]" instead of "My name is [name]"
These videos are very helpful! I'm wondering about this though, I've found both Dia dhuit and Dia duit on learning platforms for Irish. What is the reason for this? Is it a dialect thing? Thanks in advance. Much love and appreciation from An Ísiltir :)
Yeah it's most likely a dialect thing, for many people years Irish was never written down and standardised so people today often look at it through the eyes of a modern English speaker which can be slightly misleading.
It's helpful thanks you're doing great I hope you just to repeat the words slowly so we can hear exactly what you say ok and btw why don't you create a simple app ( learn Irish with dane 😊
I've got a cultural question. Typically where I'm from if someone responds with "I'm fine/ok" it carries a somewhat negative implication rather than neutral, along the lines of "I could be better" Is this the case "Ta me go brea" or "Ta me ceart go leor"? Sorry for the lack of fadas (US keyboard) GRMA
I'm 29 and from Limerick and have often been lax in my attitude in learning Irish, but I'd really like to learn now as it is part of my heritage and brilliant language. But I am kind of put off by how we say hello. Is there any other greetings that don't revolve around God or Christianity?
You could say beannú (greetings) or heileo if it bothers you that much. I am not religious in any way but I deeply respect the spiritual nature of the way we say hello, it is a window on our past, an insight into the way people spoke and thought and I don't think people should be so oversensitive and insecure about it. I'm sure you've said "oh my God" a few times if you were shocked or disgusted about something.
Peter if you're that insecure about an ancient language then that's unfortunate. You probably wouldn't know that Goodbye in English is a later version of God be with you. Are you going to get offended by that as well?
That's interesting, it's not unusual for certain French and Spanish words and phrases to have similarities to Irish due to the travel and trade connections in years gone by 😊

That's very nice of you to say, I wish you continued success 🙂
I really enjoy your videos, thanks for making them. I'd love to learn more Irish as I was taught it in school but I've forgotten most of it.
Like a lot of people, thank you, glad you like them 🙂

I've been learning Ulster Irish but I definitely enjoy these videos it's good to see the different ways things can be said. Go raibh maith agat
Indeed, it's very useful to be familiar with the various different dialects, Beannachtaí.
I am taking an Irish course one evening a week for two hours, your videos help me a lot during the week to practice, Thank you 👍
Glad to help you, and best of luck with your course, go n-éirí leat agus bain sult as.
Would you mind telling me what course you took/are taking? Me and a friend are looking to enroll in one, and one evening a week would be ideal.
Thanks for your videos. After I say hello to a person. I ask "how do you feel today?". How do you ask someone how they feel in Irish? Please consider setting up a patron account. A lot of UA-camrs find it more beneficial than PayPal.

Chomh úsáideach, cosúil le i gcónaí. Go raibh maith agat Dane.
I was just wondering: how exactly would someone say “I know” for both nouns and actions? I know “Tá a fhios agam” and “Is eol dom”, but I’m not quite sure of how to structure the whole phrase.
So how would you say:
“I know what you did” (a noun)?
“I know that you did it” (an action)?
Tá a fhios agam go ndearna tú é = I know you did it.
Tá a fhios agam cad a rinne tú = i know what you did.
You need to use the irregular Irish verb Déan which means to do or make but it morphs into ní dhearna/go ndearna etc too depending on the context.
@@LearnIrish Does that mean that where it's a noun, you don't need a preposition after agam/dom, you can just go straight to the noun?
Apparently so but it depends on the sentence plus there's many alternatives to saying that, for example you could use different verbs and diff questions like cad a tharla etc.
@@LearnIrish Awesome, thanks so much.
