Hi. Nowadays I am struggling to pass my driving test as well as helping my son to learn lrish for his junior cert higher level exam. I wonder and happy to see you in both ways as your driving videos help me alot. Could you please teach Irish according to the exam paper so that it make easy for me to understand and help him in less time. Being a full time mother Its really difficult to learn from the start. Thanks a million
Thank you very much, glad to help you on both channels. I'll consider doing some junior cert stuff. I actually have done a leaving cert poem a few months ago so it's a good suggestion.
When are words ending in "igh" pronounced with a short "i"and a soft "g", and when should it be pronounced like a long "ee" and silent "gh"? Are there regional differences?
I’ve wondered this as well. I would have thought „gh” would be pronounced /y/ when slender, which in a lot of these verbs it is, and thus would be an „ee” sound at the end, but I hear it being pronounced like a normal /g/ and it makes me wonder why there’s an h there at all.
I don't know what you mean by a short i and soft g but it would definitely depend on the dialect. Either way I wouldn't get overly excited about it. In the English language a person in London might say Hello, a person in Melbourne G'day and a person in Texas Howdie, and nobody asks why.
Munster does short i g. Most others are long ee. I don’t know about official standard. This mostly applies to verbs. I believe the book Basic Irish: grammar workbook goes over this.
Just curious, but what dialect do you use? You have one of the clearest and easiest to understand Irish accents I've hear (side note, I wish DuoLingo would hire you to do their audio samples), but it does sound different from what I've heard elsewhere.
Thank you very much 🙂 I don't really have a dialect as I see it because I am not a native speaker but I have learned it since the age of 4 or 5 in school. It would be a bit of a mixture with a slight leaning towa the Munster dialect. But it's all the same language anyway 👍
There are some people in the Irish Language Facebook groups I’m in that would call it “Urban” Irish. They seem to constantly point out “non-native” speakers in tutorials such as Dane’s. From what I understand, it is using English phonemes in place of native Irish phonemes (hard to pronounce these in my case). All very annoying at times because yes, isn’t it all the sam language? Give us poor learners some slack, I say! As I progress I’m hoping to be better at the native way of speaking, say in about 20 years!;)

Very helpful, go raibh míle maith agat
Beannachtaí 👍
Go raibh maith agat!!
My next missing is to nail verbs like need/want, know, to be able, should. These are not your average verbs but very useful.
They'd certainly come in handy 👍
And he made videos about those things so you must of been very happy with them 👍😊
Can you make a video with some verbs and all the aspects of the verbs present/conditional you always give me such great info! Thank you!
I'll keep that in mind, best wishes
Great video Dane. G.r.mg!

An-úsáideach Dean.

Míle buíochas 👍
Dúirt tú 'Bigger if you cann'. Try 'Tuilleadh más féidir leat'

Is iad an-deas ar fad, ach tá na phictúirí miseageanach an-soros ar fad. Sin an smál amháin atá ann
Ní thuigim, miseageanach? An-Soros?
I like the verb: seinn-to play. (Ta se ag seinm lei.) Feach- feach anois me. (Look at me.)
A great verb to describe playing music, maith thú.
Is there a way of doing a one-time donation, rather than a monthly one? Patreon doesn't seem to have that as an option.

Bhuaigh mé Echo Dot inniu. 🤔
Níl mé cinnte faoi sin ach maith thú ach go háirithe.
@@LearnIrish yeah I'm not sure that was a great prize either. I'm technologically challenged
