It's lovely to hear my Grandmother's language. She was to "shy" to even tell me how to say hello. Born in 1896 so no wonder. Your just an inspiration. Thank you for keeping the language alive. You don't know how lucky you are.!
I've lived in Ireland for three months (I am from Germany) and can't wait to go back. If it wasn't for my family, friends and my boyfriend (he's in the army and is bound to stay in Germany), I would have moved to Ireland.
Thank you so much for your work. It's such a great help. One small request would be to improve microphone quality so the listener can really pick up on the phones. Thank you. Go raibh maith agat
I'm first generation Irish-American and my dad never taught me anything other than eejit lmao but videos like these give me motivation to learn the language and more of my heritage!
You can’t be Irish and American at the same time. To be an American, you must either be Native American or you must descend from Anglo Americans who who lived in America before it was founded. Irish Americans are just Irish immigrants.
@@bezklavikaszekminmespukzk9961 weird take That's simply false. That's not how America works. "America" is a post-colonizatjon term. Immigrants are born in other countries. Americans are born in America.
@@bezklavikaszekminmespukzk9961 An Irish American is an American with Irish ancestry or an Irish immigrant. Anyone that was born in America or that has immigrated to America and holds citizenship, is American. You have some stubborn views on the subject for someone who is likely not American at all
Go raibh mile maith agaibh, a Siobhan is a Ghabrielle! Rinne sibh post iontach agus is cabhair mhór é dúinn uile i bhfoghlaim na Gaeilge! Beannachtaí ón Rúis agus an mbeidh an-tóir ar bhur dteanga álainn!
Gaelic is technically considered to be the “first language” of Ireland, although few people speak it really well. When I was there 30 years ago (hard to believe it’s been that long), all public signs (such as street signs, etc.) were listed in Gaelic first and English second.
Hi everyone. My mum and dad were both irish but both passed away now. I was born in UK and live there still. I remember my mum saying a phrase that sounded in english like...kokeen millish, I don’t know what it means or how it’s spelled in irish so I can’t look it up. Any ideas anyone? Hope it’s not rude!
Great video, I especially appreciate having the Irish Gaelic subtitles. The audio quality is rather poor though- even cheap clip-on microphones would solve this problem for future videos. Cheers!
This is most certainly a big step in the right direction. I keep looking for short stories, conversations in Irish. Being Religious I am ever mindful that the way the Jewish people kept their language alive was reading the first five books of Moses every year, along with the Psalms and the Five Megillot, Song of Solomon, Ruth, Lamentations, Ecclesiastes, and Esther. On the surface these are all just simple stories of the pastoral life, much like in Ireland. Leave Spiritual readings for more advanced students. Why not try teaching Irish the same way. Use Classical conditioning to present the new words and grammatical constructs, then read the story in English and Irish, quickly as you do, slowly as you do, and they quickly again. Pretty much all already know the stories in English, so hearing them, actually hearing them in Irish as we read the stories would be a great learning too. The Gospels are just story at one level as well. When can we start finding this on the internet? It would greatly speed up my learning.

My dear Lord!!!! Where does the language originate from? Can't understand anything. Had a boyfriend once whose father was Irish and when he got upset he would speak Irish and scare everyone. None of his 5 kids spoke Irish :).

Same same, my GPS stoppedspeaking when I cam in the door so I used to sit outside listening to them
I think you Irish people have a really interesting language (and a very beautiful country I hope to visit someday).
Its not that fun here
I visited Ireland and I had never had more fun in my life.
It’s good to visit but if you’re an Irish citizen you get constantly pooped on by the government
I've lived in Ireland for three months (I am from Germany) and can't wait to go back. If it wasn't for my family, friends and my boyfriend (he's in the army and is bound to stay in Germany), I would have moved to Ireland.
Thank you André. You are very welcome to come to Ireland. It's a beautiful country with friendly people. Beadh fáilte romhat anseo!

This is So wonderful!! So beautiful! Omg! I want to learn Irish! Whoever gave this a thumbs down is a sad person.
Thank you so much for your work and the content you bring, hearing people speaking at normal speed is really helpful to grasp the right pronunciation~
This is such a helpful video! Amazing
THIS IS AWESOME THIS IS SO GREAT FOR LIKE NATURAL IRISH CONVERSATOONAL LEARNINNG without living around people who speak Irish. Thank you!!!!!!
Thank you for this. Just listening to it in the background was surprised to see that I can understand a few sentences :-).
Love seeing this!! Keep up the good work and thank you so much for sharing!!
Go hálainn!
AAAAA IT'S SIOBHAN!!!! I love her music, so good to see her here
Lovely video, easy to read text and follow thanks so much ❤❤❤
Finally found how it sounds!
Go hálainn, go hionntach! Let's keep gaeilge together ♡.

Thank you for this! I understood about 75% so I reckon I’m doing ok. Go raibh maith agat!
I did only unterstand two words... :D But I loooove Ireland and his culture. They should bring gaelic back as first language in Ireland :)

Labhraím Gaeilge go maith, cé gur úsáid mé Google Translate... lol
@@kaymuldoon3575 still true today
Great channel!
Very interesting!!!
Loves this. always been curious to know more about Siobhan. She's always smiling and I always wonder what shes like off camera! 😅
that was wonderful!
First view! Thank you! You’ve taught me so much!
Iontach agus hálainn
Unfortunately the audio is very bad. Otherwise , very nice!
Are there tv shows that are just spoken in Irish? I’d love to listen to that?
Yes, you'll find them on the TG4 player: www.tg4.ie/en/
The Connacht and Ulster dialects are so distinct from the Munster one
Bhuel Siobhán, céard é an t-amhrán is fearr leat? Ná coinnigh chugat féin é.

Caca milis means cake in Irish :)
Great video, I especially appreciate having the Irish Gaelic subtitles. The audio quality is rather poor though- even cheap clip-on microphones would solve this problem for future videos. Cheers!
The pronunciation of every single word always catches me off-guard.
What kind of Irish accent was it at the end?
That's what Siobhan sounds like when she's speaking English! A strong Munster accent. Siobhan is from Tipperary, as she says in the video.
my dream

The sound quality is poor, too bad.
The sound is quite badly muffled, which is sad, since sound is the key element of learning a spoken language
I'd love to hear it clearly. The sound quality is poor,
Wish the sound quality was better
I had such a difficult time understanding because of the sound quality.

How to pronounce "bowl" in irish
Sadly the audio quality is very poor on this one. Can't really catch the intricacies of the language
Great vid but very poor audio... Lavalier wireless microphone or overhead mic would do wonders!

Sounds a bit like Yiddish a bit like Arabic in terms of rhythm
영어 억양이 많이 들리는 듯...
You can learn anything. But, you have how many lives?

brilliant girls but slow down a small bit
This has gotta be the worst language LMAO
Very bad microphone and poor acoustics of the room. A professional sound specialist is needed for this endeavor.
