I do appreciate these pronunciation videos. The more I hear the words with seeing the spellings, the more I pronounce the words in my head correctly when I'm reading.
definitely same here! it's also made it easier for me to keep up with other videos with these terms, I use subtitles and the auto-sub really struggles sometimes lol
This is a great pronunciation guide, and hearing it too. It is also great to see some of the Old Irish versions too, would be great if this was an entire series for spelling and pronouncing Irish mythological characters, gods and goddessess, fairy folk and many others as their is so much to Irish mythology and getting the right way to say these names I find to be so so important.
Thank you Lora! I'd love to hear more videos on Irish and entomology. I'm fascinated by the language and how much I hear the echoes of the Irish language in the spoken English of Irish people - even those who don't speak Irish. How you have made the English language in your own way. I love that so much. Go raibh maith agat!
This was very useful. Thank you! I love all your videos and just took my first IPS class. I can’t wait to learn more from you, you’ve been such a great, helpful source 🌞
Great information Lora thank you. I’m definitely excited about the book. And thank you for the correct pronunciation. I definitely was not saying these words aloud, definitely afraid I was saying them very wrong 🫣
I hope you don't mind me being a bit nit-picky, but the word is sióg with the old diminutive suffix -óg (for feminine nouns in the second declension). Síog (which is pronounced quite differently) is a streak, a stripe, or a geological seam. Also, the singular (vocative) form is A Dhuine Uasail (uaisle is the genitive plural). Sin a bhfuil agam, a chara. :)
I was wondering do your books have charts on what gods and goddesses came first a lot of things that I'm getting confused on. I thought Irish people don't use the word Celtics isn't that different people like old Britannia, Scotland and most of Central Europe also.
Correction: the Modern Irish is sióg, plural na sióga! - www.teanglann.ie/en/eid/si%c3%b3g

This is great, now I won't have to guess anymore on how to pronounce some of these words. Thank you so much.
Thanks for this video. This is way better than PBS' recent video on the Tuartha Dé Danann.
Thanks you for these videos. It makes learning easier. 😉

I loved this pronunciation guide. And may I ask who created the template? It's gorgeous!!!! Very classy and springlike.

etymology lols... I like bugs too 😉
Is there anyway to get caption on these videos? I kept hearing the English "She" when it was "sí"
The words are spelled out on the slides?
@@IrishPaganSchool I was talking more in terms of the closed captions
Weren't at one point, the Tuatha de Danann giants, or perceived as such?
Not really, no.
