sembra una sfida per me

Patchy A couple of questions. Do Irish singers such as the Dubliners and, say the Bothy band, Lasarhiomna, for example get it right? I often listen to them to catch a bit more. What about TG4 and RnaG Do you run online courses. If so I would be pleased to get a link. Very inofrmative thanks Sean

Patchy, an bhfuil ar eolas agat gurbh é an leabhar sin a spreag Clannad leis an amhrán 'Theme from Harry's Game' a scríobh. Luaigh Clannad sa gclár seo é: th-cam.com/video/jt5UIOxLoi8/w-d-xo.html

Lots of flying spit and sometimes sound like a goat spitting. Not giving up and will swallow before trying to whistle and will blow softer until I learn.

Hi Patchy. I can't hear the difference between the broad and slender n in this video. Your inflection goes up on the slender and down on the broad - that's what I'm hearing most. Is like an ng as in sing ⟨ŋ⟩?

What is the name in the post.

The crazy thing is, I am not Irish, I am Dutch. But I could hear at once that most people speaking Irish are doing so with an English accent. Then I came across multiple videos of native Irish speakers and it became even more obvious how STARK of a difference, incredible. Actual Irish sounds nothing like most people have it taught.

Dia duit ❤.Saludos desde 🇦🇷

Go rainh maith agat agus slán.

I live in Munster

Good advice, Sir.

Gaeilge you meam.

I wish their was a book for Donegal dialect! It is said you should pick a dialect and stick to it. I would love that to be Donegal because I love and sing the music ... 😢 But all the books are from Connemara, as I understand it.

Go raibh míle Patchy

I know exactly what I think of pronunciation is, IT DOES NOT MATTER, so long as you're understood. How many non native English speakers do you know who has pronunciation all over the place and yet they can be understood.

Muy bella la letra y la melodía ❤

have you considered making a tiktok account

I appreciate this video.

Patchy I can't believe you're using AI generated art as well, they use an ungodly amount of energy and are made through the use of stolen images and stolen art. I really thought that a man as smart as yourself would have researched into how bad these are but it saddens me to see that you haven't

I tried to find you on italki but could not, can you please provide a profile link, thank you

Vey clever, you are not learning, you are actually acquiring the language, in 1000 hours you will speak that target language very well.

A wonderful video, thank you. Where are you based, I am interested to know do the people all speak with the same pronunciation in your area?

Go raibh maith agat

Can you post the text of this?

Iontach a Phatchy, is brea liom an seanchló agus an blas !

Tá san go maith, ach, ní bheadh sé níos feárr leis an R ársa (an R fada agus ní han "cínnleitir bheag" san do tugadh isteach sa 30íbh)? Agus an leitriú traidisiúnta d'úsáid leis an seana-chló, mar shampla "chroidhe" in inead "chroí"?

Not you too with the AI images :(

This is excellent, thank you Patchy.

I continuall thank God, for what Anloinseacht has put up on youtube... i was looking for this VERY help that he gives... nothing i could find, seemed to sound right--- then, after i found hus page, i understood... thank you, too patchy, for helping folks be aware of checking how we learn...❤

I guess the difference between the 2 n's is that for one, you pronounce it softly whereas the other one has more emphasis and accent on it

Patchy other than pronunciation, would you recommend other online videos on TH-cam for learning phrases and grammar as reliable sources?

I guess you could explain the slender r pronunciation as an in between of 'sh' and 'ch' or a sh but your using a lower part of your voicebox. Additionally, you don't say that harshly but rather softly

Realmente hermoso 💚

Do you know any good Munster books/channels/resources to look for?

Patchy, what text or course would you recommend for Ulster Irish and are there texts that cover Antrim Irish, as that was the dialect I was taught as a teenager, over 50 years ago.

Hi Patchy, I recently came across this channel An Spideog and I'm wondering how is his pronunciation? I don't think I'm good enough to tell whether it's good.

Cad faoi gabhpictiúir?

What about irish with mollie? On a separate note Is beidh to be pronounced bye or beg?

It's hard enough trying to learn besides the embarrassment of sounding wrong to the fluent listener

Too much faffing about.

I wouldn't mind some constructive criticism if you wouldn't mind reviewing my Irish

Hey Patchy, is it fine if it doesn't sound very strong at first? I'm actually Gomero myself but I have not grown up here therefore I do not speak it, however I'm learning it to impress my friends from here in about one month hahaha Is there any tips you'd give on how to "chiflar" instead of getting that average/low whistle unsuitable for long distances?

Not sure what the chances of you seeing this are as the video is old, but I'm going to say it anyway because I've been thinking about it and it's important. I don't think this is a productive line to go down as far as the overall health of the language is concerned. To be sure, at a level which is approaching fluency it is important to get the pronunciations "right" (although in my limited experience, the pronunciation varies so substantially from town to town it's hard to say what's correct. Indeed in cases like your Mary example I have seen the use of consonants completely change depending on dialect.) I believe the overall focus should be on communication. The people who complain about speaking Irish like English miss the point that people are trying to speak Irish, and are speaking Irish. I think the approach of native / fluent speakers refusing to speak in Irish because the standard is not "high enough" is unhealthy, and frankly arrogant.You can absolutely communicate with a standard far below what fluent/native speakers consider to be HL"high enough". To give some context, I've been trying quite hard to teach myself for about half a year now as a young man and I've come quite far with reading, writing and listening. But, a mixture of being a protestant-raised child from the north and the attitudes of fluent speakers have left me with almost no opportunities to practice my speaking beyond one or two Irish speaking friends. You should be reaching out to lower intermediates to give them opportunities to speak, not to "correct" them. Apologies for being rude myself, but the issue is terribly frustrating. If you don't see this, I may send you an email because I would like to hear your further thoughts.

I am Irish, Mhùira soundl like :weira.;the h is pronounced like 17:31 W. Slàn leath, h is silent.

I am Irish, Mhuùira soundl like :weira.;

Your introduction is so frustrating. Stop the waffol.

If you want to teach Irish, cut out chat that doesn't matter,just get to the point.

Go hiontach ar fad, Patchy! I've actually started a series which may interest leaners of Kerry dialect Gaelic.

Does anyone know if I could trust IPA transcriptions? I can read IPA quite well for a teenager, and I really want to know if they're able to be followed/trusted for Gaeilge. 🥲🙏
