I speak 4 languages. English, German, Hungarian and Romanian. I've even tried a bit of Swedish and Icelandic. Hungarian, Romanian and English helped me a lot in learning German. German helped me make sense of Icelandic and Swedish. But I can't find any relationship with Gaelic. It's fascinating - a completely different world. Beautiful 😊
That's a fair mix of languages! Chapeau! If you go back long enough, there are actually similarities with other ancient Indo-European languages, such as Latin, Ancient Greek and Sanskrit. However, the modern languages have evolved to such an extent that only a linguist will be able to still notice the correlation. A different world indeed and what attracted me to study Celtic languages in the first place!
There are lots of Latin loanwords like athair/pater (father) mathair/mater (mother). Counting: ean, do, tri, ceathar, cuig, se, seacht, ocht, naoi, deich - like Spanish un, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, seis, siete, ocho, nueve, diez.
Maith sibh! Good on you both! These are some resources I’ve gathered that you can use. I would suggest researching these and more, then selecting one resource from each dialect. 😊 Ádh mór, mo chairde!

Thank you kindly for sharing this intro to Irish. You present the lesson in such a simple and very clear manner. I’m encouraged and inspired to learn more.
Thanks so much for this lovely lesson. When you talk about how the simplest exchanges are blessings, I got this warm feeling. I can't tell you how much I appreciate your passion for spreading the language. Slán! :)
Thank you for posting this! I was born in America but my entire family comes from Ireland, and recently I’ve been take up in a wave of wanting to learn and study about Ireland, including learning the language. I might even want to move back! Slán!
I've been working through the Irish course on the Duolingo app. I wish I had your teaching to supplement the whole course! This short video was extremely practical and helpful!
I've been researching my family history and it's brought me here. (Maiden name Curry, currently in The States) and your video has inspired me to learn Irish! Thanks so much for post this and making learning a new language so easy!!
my great grandmother was from county roscommon. mary mcdermott. i'm American but I love irish culture. can't wait to visit your beautiful country in a couple months!
Thank you Tina for your quick and easy introuction to the irish language. As an absolute beginner I find it very helpful to get a first impression of the sound of irish. Especially your advice on listening with closed eyes is a great idea. Please keep on. Best regards, Jens
Important to note that Irish is Irish but Gaelic is what Scottish people call Scottish. They are separate languages and the terms are not interchangeable.
Tiffany Thankyou, I think us IRISH are Special born with Red Hair & Freckles. We have our IRISH DANCING & MUSIC. Lots of funny sayings, YOU DONT SCARE ME I WAS RAISED BY AN IRISH MOTHER.

Hi, Tina.! Thank so very much for send me this interessant vídeo.😗💖🇮🇪🇮🇪 I'd love very much to learn irish language. The next year I will go to travel to Ireland.
You are wellcome always. And believe me I love so much your marvelous country with my heart, soul and mind. Like my spiritual country and my land.😘😙💖💖💖 much love and blessings for you and all Irish people.
im up north of lreland the way we prounounce is a bit stronger so the words change slightly, ive only started learning so another 40 years and hopefully l can say something in irish because im crap at it lol
It took me some time to figure the scheme of Irish spelling, but it was worth the time. Someone told me it would happen. He also explained that Latin has a pattern for long and short vowel, of which I still struggle.
Techt - The Celtic Messenger Thank you very much, I am happy that you find my video useful! If you're interested in more of my Irish language videos, check out my Gaelic Stuama Series. All the best to you!
Thank you! I really enjoyed that. I have tried and tried to learn Irish in many ways and am so unsuccessful and really, really want to learn! This has made it sound more accessible, I'm going to persevere.
Thank you so much for this course. In the past I've tried other Irish youtube experiments, but was unable to get the pronunciation. You've made it easy! Braidwood, Illinois
Thank you, SO VERY MUCH! I'm just beginning, but couldn't "hear" the words in my brainhead when I read them. Thank you, for going slowly and repeating the sentences, with your vocal control I can find the formation of the sound in my own mouth. I'm actually getting it. I can now hear the words, and can get used to the rules of spelling, too. 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚 Thank you so much!!!
Wow...I've dabbled a bit into different courses of the Irish language. But this was truly impressive. Especially the "close your eyes and just listen!" part; because this is even more confusing than French, sooo.....Thank you very much, Tina.
This was a nice beginners lesson in the Irish language. It's perfect for anyone, who is trying to get their feet wet, so to speak. However, personally, I have one tiny little problem .... it was the way certain words or phrases were pronounced. Yet, that is a personal thing, strictly due to a different dialect. You see, when I began learning Irish, as a child, I was exposed to the dialect spoken in Ashford, Co. Wicklow and up towards southern Dublin and the town of Dún Laoghaire.
Learning the phrases is one thing but like ourselves here in Ireland, you will lose them as quickly for there is no one else to speak it to. Best to find a friend or family member to learn it with so you can practice conversation regularly. Good tutorial though.
I definitely agree! I tried to learn Irish about four years ago and I did quite a bit but because there was no one to practise with (I live in the north-west of England!) I forgot every word. Any language requires practice.
This was really useful for me to start learning Irish, I'm also learning on how to make illuminated letters, so that way I can write on a piece of parchment a full story in Gaelige
I found interesting that in portugal we ask “how are you?” with the sentence “como estás?” we only don’t use “tu” because “tu” is already implied. despite this, the sentence sounds and means exactly the same thing: como = how, estás=are, you=tu. I know that portuguese is a romance language, but before the romans invaded the iberian peninsula we had a lot of native populations, maybe some of the words of the old language now extinct still survive on our grammar... but the similarities on that sentence are way too obvious.
I have been to Portugal a few times for when Rep of Ireland was playing Football but I remember when we were in Lisbon we lost 3 nil it pissed down all night in the stadium of Light then Holland beat us in the playoffs 4 days later in Anfield but we were outside of a Pub in Lisbon when some Portugues lads came up to us we could see and hear they were taking the piss out of us. so we started to talk in Irish or if you want Gaeilge but they went mad and started to shout at us you talk in English we pissed our selves laughing and then so the Portugues lads and then we all went for a Pint happy days love Portugal.
My grandmother was born in Co. Cork. When I first learned that there was an Irish language I asked her to teach me. She said she never learned it because "the English" made it illegal to speak Irish. She was born in 1909. I always wondered if this was true? She always hated "the English". Wondering if anyone else has ever heard this?
This was a thing and started as far back as the 1360s, when it was made illegal for colonists in Ireland from England to speak the Irish language and for native Irish to speak it to the colonists. In the 1530s it was made illegal to speak Irish in the Irish Parliament and in the 1540s it was made illegal for the Irish language to be spoken in areas of Ireland controlled by the English. She likely had hatred for the English because she would have grown up around the Irish War for Independence which wasn't the most pleasant of times, to put it euphemistically.
When England took over Ireland they made it illegal to speak Irish (along with many other things) and BUT there were some secret hedge schools where kids could got to learn so that's how the language stuck around then in1916 there was a rebelion against the English because ww1 was taking place and Ireland was neutral and we won the war but England still has "ownership" and of 6 county's in Ireland and the Republic just calls them the nort
@@_am_i_ell_ - The kingdom of Dalriada (Dál Riata) was in the north of Ireland and the west of Scotland - the Romans called the Irish Scotti and Ireland Scotia - the rivalry between Ulster and the other provinces is well documented , see The Cattle Raid of Cooley (Táin Bó Cúailnge) in the Book of the Dun Cow. Ireland never was "united" in recorded history and probably not even under the Tuatha Dé Danann.
Sadly it's true. Most Irish heritage and culture was outlawed as well. Growing up as a traditional Irish dancer we were airways told this is why we keep our arms down. So that an Englishman walking by on the street wouldn't see dancing if they glanced through a window.
Dear Mrs. Hellmuth.. I lived 6 beautifull years in Ireland.. AND I just picked up a couple of irish words and blessings.. I always wanted to learn the beautiful gaelic IRISH language... and THIS thing just made my heart and soul sing with joy... I am going to subscribe to your channel in just this second.. ;-) TINA HELLMUTH !! ich denke mal, sie sind auch Deutsche?? ;-) ;-) als Saarländerin fällt mir die Lautsprache eigentlich sehr leicht, hatte ich schon in Irland festgestellt.. weil viele Dialektwörter in unserem "deutsch" nicht nur so irre ähnlich klingen, sondern auch fast die gleiche Bedeutung haben... z. B. Willschde? oder.. Willett? sound exactly the same as "mhaith leat"... sounds like oh willett in saarländisch and means in german.. oh will sie.. *lol* cute, isn´t it?? I think this channel is goin to be a hole lota craic ;-) Grand stuff.. really cross me heart ;-) NoW...stay healthy, all the best for 2021... Slán leat, love ;-)

This video is very helpful, go raibh maith agat! I really appreciate how good your pronunciation is, especially your use of the rolled r’s (the actual way natives from all dialects pronounce Irish, and not with the retroflex r) and you pronouncing properly broad and slender consonants, maith thú!
half of my family is irish and i have irish blood but up no know anything about my heritage and i think the first this i should learn is the basics is there language
Fantastic video for a new learner from Canada. Why is it that sometimes that the Irish 'r' is slightly trilled and then other times it sounds like a regular 'r' pronouned in the English language? Thank you so much in advance. I love your style of teaching, very slow and you break it down for complete beginners, not to mention that you give us the literal meanings in Irish. Not sure if the R is always said the same or if sometimes it's rolled a bit or not....
Hi Moon child! Thank you for your kind comments. I am glad that you liked my video. : ) As regards your question: Well spotted!! It is true that the quality of certain consonants changes depending on the letters that frame them. However, it's a little too complicated for a beginner's course, so I omitted to comment on it. A good topic for a future video, though! Thanks! : )
Very interesting for an intro class. I like to know how to say something but also what it literally means. My family did DNA testing and found besides being Japanese we are Irish, French and Russian.

I love that she says “GWAYLgyuh” for Gaeilge. That’s the true way of saying it according to the rules of pronunciation, which I will include below:
The golden rule for spelling in Irish, caol le caol agus leathan le leathan, means slender with slender and broad with broad. The terms slender and broad refer to two categories of vowels.

The slender vowels are i and e.

Thank you kindly for sharing this intro to Irish. You present the lesson in such a simple and very clear manner.
I’m encouraged and inspired to learn more.
Irish is difficult but it is a very beautiful language! I live in Brazil and I love Ireland!
Thanks for sharing so much knowledge!
Thank You! I Am Irish but I could not speak it! But I now know to now!
Thanks so much for this lovely lesson. When you talk about how the simplest exchanges are blessings, I got this warm feeling. I can't tell you how much I appreciate your passion for spreading the language. Slán! :)
Thank you, Leaf! I am glad that you find my videos helpful. Slán leat!
Thank you for the post. You are a very effective teacher.
Thank you so much for this . Other videos are way to fast pace but you go at such a perfect speed and kept my attention the whole time.
Any of our 3 Gaelic languages are great to learn. She explains and pronounces each word slowly and clearly.
Thank you for posting this! I was born in America but my entire family comes from Ireland, and recently I’ve been take up in a wave of wanting to learn and study about Ireland, including learning the language. I might even want to move back! Slán!
I ALSO LOVE IRISH MUSIC!!! 😁
I agree Irish music is AWESOME!
Yes you're right! I love it too!
Glen Turney it is great stuff dude
I play the tenor banjo
No over here we havd no select music we just listen to grime or rap or pop or other shite like k pop
I love speaking simple talk. It never gets too complex!
I don't know why,but I feel a strong urge to learn irish even though I'm Romanian
I will get straight to Irish after I finish Esperanto!
Really enjoyed this. Thank you Tina.
Glad you did, thank you, Olivia!
I've been working through the Irish course on the Duolingo app. I wish I had your teaching to supplement the whole course! This short video was extremely practical and helpful!
Dia duit from Louisiana!
I saw the Irish fianóglach recruit ad and I’m in love with the language.
I am Irish but grew up in America so I only know English so now that I know my culture from my father I shel learn Irish!
Thank you, and please more video. I want to learn Irish.....😃
I've been researching my family history and it's brought me here. (Maiden name Curry, currently in The States) and your video has inspired me to learn Irish! Thanks so much for post this and making learning a new language so easy!!
you are such a wonderful teacher! thank you! I'm exited to see more of your videos!
Thank you, Nora! : )
Who legit thought this lady heard what u were saying
my great grandmother was from county roscommon. mary mcdermott. i'm American but I love irish culture. can't wait to visit your beautiful country in a couple months!
You make it so easy to understand Tina. Irish is such a beautiful language ☘️🇮🇪
Thank you Tina for your quick and easy introuction to the irish language. As an absolute beginner I find it very helpful to get a first impression of the sound of irish. Especially your advice on listening with closed eyes is a great idea. Please keep on. Best regards, Jens
Your teaching is far better than most as your giving the literal translation of the language instead of the English alternative!
"Conas atá tú" it's very similar to spanish and portuguese
I love this channel. it has taught me SOOO much Irish or gaelic that i can speak fluent in it
Important to note that Irish is Irish but Gaelic is what Scottish people call Scottish. They are separate languages and the terms are not interchangeable.
I'm Irish and I just learned how to learn how to speak it with your video
What a wonderful little course! Thank you and Slan!
I've just fallen in love with Irish, it's so beautiful and not as cumbersome as I thought it was! Go raibh maith agat!

@@jimogrady1131 you are right Irish women are so beautiful.
I am from NEPAL. I love Irish music.
Hi, Tina.! Thank so very much for send me this interessant vídeo.😗💖🇮🇪🇮🇪 I'd love very much to learn irish language. The next year I will go to travel to Ireland.
Hi Daisy! Thank you for your kind words!
You are wellcome always. And believe me I love so much your marvelous country with my heart, soul and mind. Like my spiritual country and my land.😘😙💖💖💖 much love and blessings for you and all Irish people.
I loved it. She's a good teacher.
Thank you for this. Learning the language for next year's trip to Ireland.
Thank you, Coinin! And have a great time in Ireland!
im up north of lreland the way we prounounce is a bit stronger so the words change slightly, ive only started learning so another 40 years and hopefully l can say something in irish because im crap at it lol
Daz G yeah your right I was a bit confused
It took me some time to figure the scheme of Irish spelling, but it was worth the time. Someone told me it would happen. He also explained that Latin has a pattern for long and short vowel, of which I still struggle.
Love your style, very very clear and beautifull accent, so easy to understand, God bless!!

Thank you very much, I am happy that you find my video useful! If you're interested in more of my Irish language videos, check out my Gaelic Stuama Series. All the best to you!
Thank you! I really enjoyed that. I have tried and tried to learn Irish in many ways and am so unsuccessful and really, really want to learn! This has made it sound more accessible, I'm going to persevere.
Thank you so much for this course. In the past I've tried other Irish youtube experiments, but was unable to get the pronunciation. You've made it easy! Braidwood, Illinois
Thank you, SO VERY MUCH!
I'm just beginning, but couldn't "hear" the words in my brainhead when I read them.
Thank you, for going slowly and repeating the sentences, with your vocal control I can find the formation of the sound in my own mouth. I'm actually getting it. I can now hear the words, and can get used to the rules of spelling, too.
💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
Thank you so much!!!
Hi Jennifer! Glad to see that my approach works for you! Go n-éiri leat!
@@techt-thecelticmessenger2767 I'll be watching again and again. 💚💚💚💚💚💚
Wow...I've dabbled a bit into different courses of the Irish language. But this was truly impressive. Especially the "close your eyes and just listen!" part; because this is even more confusing than French, sooo.....Thank you very much, Tina.
Thank you! : )
This was a nice beginners lesson in the Irish language. It's perfect for anyone, who is trying to get their feet wet, so to speak. However, personally, I have one tiny little problem .... it was the way certain words or phrases were pronounced. Yet, that is a personal thing, strictly due to a different dialect. You see, when I began learning Irish, as a child, I was exposed to the dialect spoken in Ashford, Co. Wicklow and up towards southern Dublin and the town of Dún Laoghaire.
Awwww. Thanks so much. From the Philippines
thank you please have more
Love this! Thank you...oops, I meant Go raibh maith agat!
I'm first generation American Irish and enjoyed your video, will do more.
thank u for the great lesson very helpful
Glad you found it helpful, Seamus!
Learning the phrases is one thing but like ourselves here in Ireland, you will lose them as quickly for there is no one else to speak it to. Best to find a friend or family member to learn it with so you can practice conversation regularly.
Good tutorial though.
I definitely agree! I tried to learn Irish about four years ago and I did quite a bit but because there was no one to practise with (I live in the north-west of England!) I forgot every word. Any language requires practice.
PLEASE MAKE A PART TWO :D
It definitely rolls off the tongue nicely!
Thank you Tina!
Thank you for this video, ma'am. I really enjoyed it.
Totally Impressed by her native sounding English. I could not detect that English is not her native tongue.
thank you for this really lovely video!!
Conas atá tú? is so similar to Spanish ¿Cómo estás tú? and they both mean the same thing. interesting.
ijansk If I recall, the Lebor Gabala Erinn says that the Milesians (Irish) arrived to Ireland from Spain.
@@Will-cu6vi You remember correctly, Frattelo! Although the stories in Lebor Gabála are of course just part of Irish Mythology.
This was really useful for me to start learning Irish, I'm also learning on how to make illuminated letters, so that way I can write on a piece of parchment a full story in Gaelige
That's lovely! Best of luck with that, Jane!
I love to speak Irish now
I found interesting that in portugal we ask “how are you?” with the sentence “como estás?” we only don’t use “tu” because “tu” is already implied. despite this, the sentence sounds and means exactly the same thing: como = how, estás=are, you=tu. I know that portuguese is a romance language, but before the romans invaded the iberian peninsula we had a lot of native populations, maybe some of the words of the old language now extinct still survive on our grammar... but the similarities on that sentence are way too obvious.
I have been to Portugal a few times for when Rep of Ireland was playing Football but I remember when we were in Lisbon we lost 3 nil it pissed down all night in the stadium of Light then Holland beat us in the playoffs 4 days later in Anfield but we were outside of a Pub in Lisbon when some Portugues lads came up to us we could see and hear they were taking the piss out of us. so we started to talk in Irish or if you want Gaeilge but they went mad and started to shout at us you talk in English we pissed our selves laughing and then so the Portugues lads and then we all went for a Pint happy days love Portugal.
Celtic and Romance languages are both Indo-European languages (just like Russian, German, English, Hindi, Sanskrit and many others)
I’m going to learn more thanks for your help
Beautiful language!! "Tu" (you). exactly like Spanish "you) Tu? Interesting...
Same in French: Tu
Same as Italian Tu
My grandmother was born in Co. Cork. When I first learned that there was an Irish language I asked her to teach me. She said she never learned it because "the English" made it illegal to speak Irish. She was born in 1909. I always wondered if this was true? She always hated "the English". Wondering if anyone else has ever heard this?
This was a thing and started as far back as the 1360s, when it was made illegal for colonists in Ireland from England to speak the Irish language and for native Irish to speak it to the colonists. In the 1530s it was made illegal to speak Irish in the Irish Parliament and in the 1540s it was made illegal for the Irish language to be spoken in areas of Ireland controlled by the English.
She likely had hatred for the English because she would have grown up around the Irish War for Independence which wasn't the most pleasant of times, to put it euphemistically.
When England took over Ireland they made it illegal to speak Irish (along with many other things) and BUT there were some secret hedge schools where kids could got to learn so that's how the language stuck around then in1916 there was a rebelion against the English because ww1 was taking place and Ireland was neutral and we won the war but England still has "ownership" and of 6 county's in Ireland and the Republic just calls them the nort
@@_am_i_ell_ - The kingdom of Dalriada (Dál Riata) was in the north of Ireland and the west of Scotland - the Romans called the Irish Scotti and Ireland Scotia - the rivalry between Ulster and the other provinces is well documented , see The Cattle Raid of Cooley (Táin Bó Cúailnge) in the Book of the Dun Cow.
Ireland never was "united" in recorded history and probably not even under the Tuatha Dé Danann.
Sadly it's true. Most Irish heritage and culture was outlawed as well. Growing up as a traditional Irish dancer we were airways told this is why we keep our arms down. So that an Englishman walking by on the street wouldn't see dancing if they glanced through a window.
This is so helpful actually being able to hear the words. Thank you so much
Dear Mrs. Hellmuth.. I lived 6 beautifull years in Ireland.. AND I just picked up a couple of irish words and blessings.. I always wanted to learn the beautiful gaelic IRISH language... and THIS thing just made my heart and soul sing with joy... I am going to subscribe to your channel in just this second.. ;-) TINA HELLMUTH !! ich denke mal, sie sind auch Deutsche?? ;-) ;-) als Saarländerin fällt mir die Lautsprache eigentlich sehr leicht, hatte ich schon in Irland festgestellt.. weil viele Dialektwörter in unserem "deutsch" nicht nur so irre ähnlich klingen, sondern auch fast die gleiche Bedeutung haben... z. B. Willschde? oder.. Willett? sound exactly the same as "mhaith leat"... sounds like oh willett in saarländisch and means in german.. oh will sie.. *lol* cute, isn´t it?? I think this channel is goin to be a hole lota craic ;-) Grand stuff.. really cross me heart ;-) NoW...stay healthy, all the best for 2021... Slán leat, love ;-)
Challenge for me.. I will learn Irish language.. and I am getting it free here.. time is the only thing I need to take invest.. wow..
Thank you Ma'am 🙏♥️
This video is very helpful, go raibh maith agat! I really appreciate how good your pronunciation is, especially your use of the rolled r’s (the actual way natives from all dialects pronounce Irish, and not with the retroflex r) and you pronouncing properly broad and slender consonants, maith thú!
GRMMA, a Dheoirdáin! : )
half of my family is irish and i have irish blood but up no know anything about my heritage and i think the first this i should learn is the basics is there language
I'm from Australia but I would love to learn this interesting language I'm curious :)
Good for you, Mezak!
Same
It's working for me. Thanks
My middle name is Ainsley but I’m from Jamaica and I learned it’s and Irish name so I hope I’m some Irish to 🥰I love the language
I found this really fascinating....Thank you
You're welcome, Pete!
every irish person should learn this im so good cead mile failte
We do...from our earliest years. Some may even speak Irish as their first language or Mother tongue.
Fantastic video for a new learner from Canada. Why is it that sometimes that the Irish 'r' is slightly trilled and then other times it sounds like a regular 'r' pronouned in the English language? Thank you so much in advance. I love your style of teaching, very slow and you break it down for complete beginners, not to mention that you give us the literal meanings in Irish. Not sure if the R is always said the same or if sometimes it's rolled a bit or not....
Hi Moon child! Thank you for your kind comments. I am glad that you liked my video. : ) As regards your question: Well spotted!! It is true that the quality of certain consonants changes depending on the letters that frame them. However, it's a little too complicated for a beginner's course, so I omitted to comment on it. A good topic for a future video, though! Thanks! : )
Thanks for this lesson. I've enjoyed it a lot.
Lovely video, thank you 😊
Very interesting for an intro class. I like to know how to say something but also what it literally means. My family did DNA testing and found besides being Japanese we are Irish, French and Russian.
Thank you, George! I am happy that you find my approach helpful.
Excellent learning there.
Thank you, John, I appreciate that!
i need this for the pub
Wonderful as ever :) Diolch i chi, Tina.
Diolch yn fawr, fy ffrind! : )
this was very helpful
