Tá ceist agam, le do thoil! Let me preface my question with the fact that when I learned Irish, it was Canúint Uladh. I’m quite sure the answer is that it’s dialectal. Why isn’t “daidí” pronounced “da-jee”? Isn’t the second “d” a slender consonant because of the i and í that surround it-and aren’t slender d’s (almost) pronounced as j’s? That is how I learned it when I started learning Irish as a boy. I even searched focloir.ie and listened to all 3 accents-all pretty much said “daddy.” That said, I listened to “deaide.” Connacht and Munster were almost “dad-juh” while Ulster was spoken as “ja-juh.” Are their accents/dialects where this would be correct? It seems like most Irish lessons available today are leaning more towards Munster dialects, followed by Connacht-or a “standardized version.” It feels like Irish is changing and that there isn’t any consistency. When I learned Irish, I was also taught the w-glide and y-glide for broad and slender consonants, respectively. Do you feel that Irish is changing to fit the needs of learners? Now that I’m relearning it, it seems and feels foreign. Go raibh míle maith agat, a Bitesize!
Siobhan: Keep up the wonderful tutorials...I am 66% Irish per recent DNA test. Last name from Co. Donegal. Typical American kid forever searching...and searching some more to answer, "where are my people and who am I.?" A tremendous psychic break for all of us Americans ....both white and black. Rather traumatizing actually... 1976-1977 I went to Ireland 19 y.o au pair girl. Found my people......except for my Polish-immigrant Grandma maternal side. ...and fell totally in love w/the most handsome Irish Guarda...such a happy and magical time. Wooohhh..what a babe! Coming back to Dingle Peninsula in mid-winter 2018-2019....any suggestions? ....and yes I am a Ginger and kids in a pub at 19 y.o. were shocked when the shy girl finally opened her mouth and they discovered quickly that I was a Yank! What fun! Thank you and thank you again for you work...signing-up for free month course; then will sign-up again for $$. Aloha from Hawaii🌈😎🏄...
I'm learning Irish through my six year-old and love it! Such a lovely language.

You can't go wrong with spending time around Dingle and out on the Dingle Peninsula. Enjoy it!
