    Many of the people commenting here from Canada and the United States are discovering and embracing their Manx roots. It's a wonderful thing.
    Irish Americans, through a wide range of orgaisations, have contributed PROFOUNDLY shaped the political and cultural life of Ireland. I would love to see Manx Americans/Canadians doing the same with their culture. Start a conversation group, an online newspaper, a festival, a lobby group, etc. We all have a role to play. Le gach dea-ghuí!

    Good work to all those who have learnt and are making efforts to learn more Manx

    This was filmed a few days before I paid my first visit to the Isle from Canada. I traced my Crellin roots. What an incredible island, people and culture! Absolutely amazing.

    I’m an American and my ancestors were Manx. I want to be like her.

    I have plans to attend the Isle on Man TT in 2022. My goal is to be able to converse understandably in Manx Gaelic. Getting a chance to go there is incredibly motivating to learn the language

      Aigh vie / good luck!
      Get in contact with the Learn Manx site or community when you've dates for when you're over - there should be a lesson or conversational group on which we're sure you'd be welcome to drop in on. :)

    I'm learning Manx Gaelic currently. Hopefully I'll be able to learn enough to become fluent without being able to go to Ellin Vannin.

    My Manx roots are through the Clarkes of Jurby. My Gram had a little Manx but I got hooked on Gaelg much later, listening to Moghrey Jedoonee on Manx Radio (Simon is just a little suspicious of me but Phil is more encouraging) and Clare ny Gael. I plan on visiting as soon as my health allows. In the meantime I've been learning all I can through Culture Vannin online and all the other resources. For all you do, Mr. Cain, gura mie ayd!

    When an ancestor left the Isle of Man, they very likely hoped for a day when they could "go home". And if that desire was unfulfilled, perhaps the desire passes down through the generations. The Manx part of us wants to Go Home.

    I thought we'd hear her speak it.

    I am Manx through my mother; went to the IOM in 2019 and my body and soul ache from the desire to return to that sweet island.

    Americans love to trivialise leaning a language. I notice she didn't speak a word of it in this interview. Just to learn the grammar, verb conjugations and vocabulary takes years of study and practice

    • @culturevannin8486

      She didn't speak any Manx in this interview, because there is a Manx Gaelic version available separately, here: ua-cam.com/video/MOE2dms_TBQ/v-deo.html
      (The link is also in the video description above).
