    I completly agree with her the most thing disable us to speak secound language is the fear to make mistake and being judged from other no one is perfect and does not make mistakes and the learning prosses is so hard . So let's get rid of fear or doubt self and we have to express our self freely and make mistakes this is the only way to learn and improve our level

    Both my great grandparents from county mayo spoke Gaelic to each other as their own private language so the kids couldn't listen in so my nan used to tell me . My nan was born in Liverpool in England in 1907 she passed away in 2006. Her dad emigrated on his own when he was nine to Liverpool in 1800's and later met my great nan in Ireland and brought her over where they settled for life though he wanted to go America were his older brother s had gone before him .But my great nan feared she would never see what was left of her family .
    Apparently you couldn't speak Gaelic
    In England or at least it was frowned upon .it's a shame it wasn't passed on. My nans husband was born and raised in Ireland he was from county cork , Mitchell's town I think but passed away when my mum was nine , he was a miner and sadly got cancer I never thought to ask neither did my mother if he spoke Gaelic or his family . My father's side are all Irish descent too but again I don't know if they spoke Gaelic , they were just trying to get by in the slums in Liverpool when they would have arrived and on docks. My father's passed so can't really dig and Irish records etc don't go back very far .People should be proud in Ireland and keep the beautiful language going . I know how sad my family were to leave as they had no choice and how sad to not be able to keep there mother tongue for social and political reasons . If we wish to learn now we may be called plastic paddies .so sad , having to leave because of reasons beyond there control and then trying to fit in only place they can afford to live were the heritage they tried to maintain they were so proud of is oppressed to a degree by
    Their new country and then later mocked by mother land as not being good enuogh either or plastic when they were just maintaining that proud and nostalgic love for their home that's really staunchly carried as I know there grief was so strong for leaving . Keep up learning languages and don't belittle those who try to learn yours . Keep it up as others didn't get that privilege.

    The above are the languages I speak. Four of them I speak fluently. And I get by in the other two. Happily I do not get embarrassed about making a mistake and blithely sail without a care through the many awkward moments.

    I've learned to hate speaking/communicating in the foreign languages of Python, Java, & C++ with the ONE other person on the planet (a close relative) who understands these languages at all. He has caused me to absolutely HATE computer programming and taught me NEVER to discuss programming languages with him or anyone else ever again.

      @@Alenarien It's not perceived as a huge achievement by Irish speakers. Only monolingual people think it's a massive achievement. And her Irish isn't too impressive, her pronounciation is (like most people's I suppose) very anglicised and she makes grammar mistakes.

    FR - Je vous écris ce commentaire en français :
    Bonjour. Mademoiselle Gallagher nous a raconté dans cette vidéo une histoire drôle, à savoir, celle d'un malentendu linguistique dû au fait qu'elle s'en est servie d'un mot en gaélique irlandais tout en voulant s'en servir d'un autre. Cela a complètement changé la signification de la phrase dans ladite langue. Ici, portant, il se passe la même chose dans la minute 10:00. Le traducteur s'est trompé en français sur la signification de l'adjectif « excitant ». Croyez-moi, je suis navré de devoir vous le signaler, mais pour un francophone, ce mot a souvent des connotations sexuelles : « être excité » équivaut à avoir envie de faire l'amour, et ce qui est décrit comme « excitant » l'est justement parce qu'il est perçu comme susceptible d'éveiller ce désir chez quelqu'un. Un désir sensuel, érotique, charnel. Il aurait fallu traduire la phrase autrement, en prenant un synonyme du genre enthousiasmant, captivant, passionnant, etc.

    The problem that people who speak a Linear language ( English) when they try to learn a Non Linear language ( Gaeilge) is a real one, as it is not possible to translate a Linear language in Non Linear.

    Go raibh maith agat do sé sin. Is mac léin mé as Gailge i MN agus seo é an rud é. Is Gaeltacht beag muid anseo....ach... Labhraíonn muid Gaeilge agus tá muid ag foghlaim an teanga. I might have f'ed a lot of that up with the grammar... but that is the point of this TedTalks - I'm learning the Connemara dialect and appreciating my encounters with the other dialects with shows like Ros na Rún, in watching TG4, and listening to RTÉ. There is a learning curve and a progression of learning with any language. And at points you get to have a perspective of Celtic state of mind with Gaeilge-
    smugairle róin.... if I did it right, jellyfish is translated as seal snot. and wolf...mac tíre- son of the land....
    ríomhaire- computer.... back in the medieval day that was the person who calculated when events like Easter would happen. There is humor, a rich history, and a perspective to be experienced with this language, like with any language.
