A good balance. Takes the piss out of teaching a standardised version of the language, but also has a go at those who complain about the standardised version.
Those spellings are pretty much the different ways Scots English speakers pronounce English in Scottish English. If you notice she says "Gaelic is changing" and then processed to talk Gaelic like someone who talks Scottish English, she is speaking gaelic with an scottish English speaking accent such like how we speak English with a French accent.
When a student doesn’t know a word in Gaelic, they look it up in the dictionary. When a native Gaelic speaker doesn’t know a word, they’re quite happy to use the English word in its place.
That doesn't help the language though, it should be able to stand on its own without using english words. Obviously it's just an inconvenience now to avoid using english but it shouldn't be.
@@AnGhaeilge there's a difference between loan words, and having an incomplete vocabulary. I'm talking about a Gaelic speaker not knowing the (already existing) Gaelic word and just lazily using english. Sure, languages are used out of convenience, but it is counterproductive to the revival of the Gaelic. ...and of course loan words in Gaelic have the benefit of gaelicisation which disguises their origin a bit. Like saying Halo instead of Hello. So I have no problems with taht
@@aceman0000099 English itself is a mish mash of other languages...eg what do you do when you go to a pub and sing along to the words on the screen...yes ‘karaoke’ so thats a Japanese word as is Kamikaze.

@@CalculusKai when i first heard the joke i mentally was a little bit like "Oh ok, where's this going" and then she turned it around and it's funny af lol
Its been way too long since I left Ireland & no longer used Irish. I cant understand the pronunciation at all, but if I see the Scottish gaelic written I can figure out some. Being a fan of Outlander tv show renewed my interest :)
Actually a very real situation here, and i would be afraid of the 'real' Gaelic ending up being lost. the native speakers are the ones who should be consulted about what is, and is not original Gaelic.
+Bruce MacAllan Certainly. Wouldn't it work to learn "book Gaelic" first then spend some time among native speakers to make it more natural? I'm planning to go to Scotland and I'd like to learn Gaelic while I'm there.
The problem is (as with all languages) ask six different speakers and get seven or more different answers --- LOL! Do people take the piss out of 'School Irish' in the same way, I wonder?
I do not know of the struggles you face to uphold Gàidhilg but I followed that thanks to the subtitles and thank the lord above I wasn’t eating or drinking anything. My ribs hurt.
I'm not Scottish I'm actually just an Irish speaker pretending I understand this because I make the connection between every 3 words so far I've learned that northern Scottish dialects and Ulster Irish are exactly the same in the way they get louder and faster, maybe it just happens when you go up north

@kbooax True, at a fairly simple level. It depends on where you are in Ireland. Donegal speakers are said to understand Scottish Gaelic better than they understand Gaelic speakers from the south of Ireland.

Speaking gaelic with a Glaswegian and Sean Connery accent @0:52 sounds hilarious Even using the spelling Mulk and Meelk in Gaelic is hilarious because that is literally how scottish English speakers speak.
It's both possible to learn Gaelic at primary school level as a subject or to attend a primary school which provides Gaelic medium education, i.e. where Gaelic is the language of teaching.
It's not just about words, it's about different phonetics too. Most importantly, these difference arise because people pass their language down, it's a piece of heritage. When schools take the place of the parents, this heritage is forever broken or tainted. Standardization ruins our heritage period.
don't use books you'll end up speaking like a Shakespearean Gaelic speaker, Duolingo may be teaching you about "balach agus cu" 10 times in a row and making you fumble when they want you to actually spell "caileag" but it's 100x better then books

I like how the subtitles spelled milk differently according to how the sound of the Gaelic word changed.

It's both possible to learn Gaelic at primary school level as a subject or to attend a primary school which provides Gaelic medium education, i.e. where Gaelic is the language of teaching.
Yes there are dialectal variations but they are small enough and thanks to TV, Radio and GME schools, these variations are not a problem anymore.
Yep there are primary and secondary schools dedicated to education in Gaelic, you can also study Gaelic in university
