As a person of Irish descent, Ireland never fails to fascinate me. Good job on the video. I can see myself living in Ireland one day, and would love to learn the language. Erin go brach :-)
How irish are you REALLY?
I have learnt a bit of Welsh though Duolingo and Irish appears similar as it should be. I'd love languages such as Irish, Welsh , Scots Gaelic and Cornish and Manx to be used more
As an irish speaker i will say that yes they are all celtic languages and related in some way(especially irish and scottish)but at the same time irish and welsh are completely different(to me anyway). I kind of thunk of it as wales us3d up all the letters ireland didnt:))
Thaitin an scannán seo go mór liom. Is teanga álainn í an Ghaeilge. Is Spáinneach mé agus faoi láthair foghlaimím Éireannach
tá gaeilge den scoth agat, maith thú féin :)
@@aislingmck2125 Go raibh maith agat. Ach tá níos mó le foghlaim agam fós
maith thú ! go n- éirí leat !
Tengo que aprender Espanol.
Beautiful.
Great video, however, you can go one step further and let the viewer have the choice to see the subtitles in Irish.
What is the name of the (presumably harp) tune that plays throughout? It`s quite nice.
The point he made is important the Irish language is slightly different depending on whom you learn it from, when I learned Irish in school it was Connemara Irish because at teacher training college this is what was taught, but I live in West Cork and there are three very slightly different dialects Cape Clear closer to West Kerry Irish, Muskerry Irish and Sliabh Lucara Irish where different words were used for different objects, same applies to Ring Irish in Waterford, Donegal Irish which is closer to Scots Gaelic, Co Meath Irish is Connemara Irish because most people who settled there were from Connemara and was referred to as Civil Service Irish. The difference is very slight, it would be the same difference as Lowland Scots and Ulster Scots one could understand the other.
Donegal I found the easiest to understand and sounded the closest to my own East Ross Gaidhlig.
Funnily enough in Dublin and Edinburgh we were always asked if we were Irish and I Dublin a girl from Donegal refused to accept I am a Scottish Gael. She knew a Donegal accent anywhere 😂😂
Kinda reminds me of staying in Wester Ross at a wee village o Londubh translated to black swamp.reminds me o
Londonderry. They thought they their were being funny preening London that translates to brown swamp to the Irish word Derry. Given a pure celtic name Londonderry ach weel slainte mhath h,uile daoine, bho Alba.
Was that Maria Doyle Kennedy doing the voiceover?
i wonder what the schools were
County Londonderry* There was never a county derry, before the plantation it was county Coleraine.
There was a town of Derry before any county though so try again.
Doire Colmcille mó chara, an bhfuil ead ort? Faugh a bealaigh Amadán.
@@antseanbheanbocht4993 Níl leabhráin sé gaeilge. Tá sé amadán mór.
No such place as londonderry ,,,its just derry
As there's no such place as... those two words... It's 'the north of Ireland', 'the six counties', 'occupied Ulster'... No matter what, build another boat and leave. Hope the same thing happens to the likes of ye as what did before.
I hope that we will find a better way to teach Irish, because this second rate pigin Irish from the Gaelscoileanna sounds like and uglier version of English. The people in this video spoke beautiful Irish. As the lad was saying at the end about not having ‘the same’ Irish. I sadly think that will be the case. It just needs to be taught with the phonology from the Gaeltachta and sincere passion and it will survive.
Sounds German..
I have noticed that to.. it's probably just serendipity but Old High German was build on Celtic and Celto-Romance society.
The Irish language is little more than an antiquated form of nomenclature ie personal names and place names. It does not warrant deliberately divisive legislation supported by deliberately divisive politicians, none whom speak it as a first language.
I don’t see how the promotion and preservation of a native language is divisive, only the refusal to allow the development of the language could be said to be divisive and exclusive. Not one individual wishes to replace English, nor force Irish on anyone, but to have the opportunity to engage with it there for those who wish to avail of it.
Every Country the English have invaded they have raped plundered and enslaved the native people and forced the English Language on to them, the English did everything in their power to destroy the irish Language, children got beaten in school if they where caught speaking irish and now when people are trying to save what's left of the language we have people like you.. you should educate yourself on the british war crimes on the irish people and culture and may be you might have a more open mind..
@streetmuggedbypolice
That maybe so, but it just wasn't in ireland that the English beat the kids in school for speaking their native language it was in every land that the English invaded they are responsible for the loss of many languages, shame on them
An bhfuil ead ort ?
Irish is the oldest vernacular language in Europe , Isnt that worth legislating for? You probably didnt object to the " Bord o Ulster Scotch"🤣 being funded by the tax payer. Its like the Irish government setting up a bord of Hiberno English = ridiculous. 🤣
