The Irish TV series "No Bearla" was fun -- at one point the presenter travels across Ireland without using English. Quite a challenge, especially when his car breaks down. It's on TH-cam also.
Aontaím go hiomlán leis!!! Dá múinfí an Ghaeilge níos feárr sna scoileannaí bheach se i bhfad níos feárr! Agus seo teachtaireacht go mhúinteoirí Gaeilge agus go mhúinteoirí bunscoile bíoch Gaeilge Mhaith agaí!!
My great grandmother is from Galway. From what I understand also a large Irish speaking region. That's just one reason I'd love to learn the language though. It's a beautiful language that should be preserved and back to flourishing
I'm American, not Irish, but I've always loved seeing the advancement of the Irish language over there. I love language and love seeing language diversity.
Younus from South Africa here. Shame that this beautiful language is not taught or even recognized in school's except in Ireland. My great grandfather was Irish. Yes, so it would be awesome to learn some Gaelic.
I have heard Irish spoken in the islands in Galway Bay a few times and the closely related Scots Gaelic in the Outer Hebrides.I assume that the two languages are mutually intelligible if spoken slowly a bit like Dutch and Afrikaans?
I'm taking the Duolingo Irish course, and I've discovered that even with that app, there are limited resources for learning the language. About 50% of the phrases in Duolingo have a spoken recording that go with them, and Google Translate only offers written translation (without audio, as with other languages that have a larger "membership"). With this being said, it's difficult to learn phonetics and all of the rules. I'm still trying to learn though! Thank goodness there's TH-cam to help fill in some of the gaps!
_Tuaisceart Éireann_ is the usual form for Northern Ireland when referring to it as the part politically controlled by Britain; it's name as an legal entity. But Nationalists and Irish speakers will often use _Ná Sé Chontae_ meaning 'the Six Counties' which refers specifically to the six counties in Ulster that were kept under the control of the British. Another term would be _Tuaisceart na hÉireann_ which translates as 'the North of Ireland'. This sense expresses the idea of that part being a part of the whole which is Ireland. _Éireann_ is the genitive form of _Éire_ . Just as an aside because it's an aspect of the language I love, directions in Irish are relative to sunrise. So _thuaidh_ is the left side as you face the direction the sun rises in, and the south is grammatically related to the right hand. So _thiar_ which means in the west is also understood as 'back' or 'behind' in certain contexts.
All it takes is 3 generations for an entire language and culture to disappear. It is up to all of us, individually, to do our part to keep our languages and cultures alive.
The least that "should" be done is for ALL Irish students, and foreign students who want to, to be taught their names "as Gaeilge" as we were in 1st Class in Primary School! It's a shameful sin for kids to get to 6th Class without the gift of knowing their name (Christian And surname) as Gaeilge.. Who's responsible for this crime?? 🙄😳🤬💔
I see you get comments removed that you don't agree with so I'll repost the essence of what I said. The 1.76 million statistic is true and accurate. Your statistic of 100'000 isn't.
I don’t know why some people make a big deal out of Irish. Almost nobody speaks it. In Ireland more people speak Polish, Portuguese or Ukrainian than speak Irish. English is much easier for everyone.
most people dont feel comfortable speaking a language that is from a foreign country that has historically been oppressive toward them, it also stands as a pillar of culture and heritage for irish people.
1.76 million people speak it. And those who can't generally know at least some irish. So that's very misleading and untrue to say nobody speaks it, or to claim that more people speak Ukrainian, polish etc. Makes me think you didn't even bother to watch the video
It would be nice to see Irish make a "full recovery"...used regularly throughout Ireland.
@@PatAudreyK like? also just to warn you if you ever plan on coming to ireland people here will just think you're american, they won't see you as irish-american
@@PatAudreyK nevermind, what phrases do you have that come from irish?
Thank you for the subtitles, as I don’t understand Irish. It was delightful to listen to the language -I’ll return to this channel often!
So what have you learnt
We all should start teaching everyone irish (In a useful and better way) so that our country will become great again with freedom throughout it
You probably don't even speak Irish you gosh darn Gailge
Easy on the "making the country great again" craic. Don't want to come off sounding Trumpy.

@@nunosantos485 but they probably did 150 years ago
@@nunosantos485that isn't true at all. I doubt you actually live in Galway and are just making that up to try to be argumentative

The language is called Irish (in English) and Gaeilge (in Irish). It is not called Gaelic
Try using irish with the irish state and see where you get,
Irish sounds so good!
I have heard Irish spoken in the islands in Galway Bay a few times and the closely related Scots Gaelic in the Outer Hebrides.I assume that the two languages are mutually intelligible if spoken slowly a bit like Dutch and Afrikaans?
Yes, more or less. Especially Ulster Irish and Scottish Gaelic.
As an immigrant, I'd love to learn the language better, I have a self learning book but it's not enough I feel.

Heard about somebody who was stopped by the Garda and was arrested when he insisted on giving his details in Irish.
Nonsense most gardai Can speak at least Reasonable Irish anyway so it wouldn't normally be too much of a problem
paraphrasing someone who once said, “ A culture without its language has lost its heart“.
Eire is Irish for Republic of Ireland? How about Northern Ireland?
_Tuaisceart Éireann_ is the usual form for Northern Ireland when referring to it as the part politically controlled by Britain; it's name as an legal entity.
But Nationalists and Irish speakers will often use _Ná Sé Chontae_ meaning 'the Six Counties' which refers specifically to the six counties in Ulster that were kept under the control of the British.

This is bullshit there is not 1,760,000 irish speakers the figure is closer to 100,000
The statistic isn't bullshit at all. The 1.76 million is pretty accurate. Your 100'000 figure is something you've clearly pulled out your arse
I see you get comments removed that you don't agree with so I'll repost the essence of what I said.

"almost nobody speaks it"... that's why it's a big deal. Irish culture itself is dying
