That was so clever.well done for putting all those ideas together. I really enjoyed that bit of fun. Although it was a bit sad at the end about the difficulty of using Irish with those in authority. People of Éire please use the Irish you have and help make it the common language once again!
Ciara, while I love all of your videos, this one is now my new favorite. I'll probably watch it many times more. My friends are also getting used to me using "What the focal?" or “Día duít.” as a greeting.
As a harry potter fan, this is very interesting. As a student of the Irish language, i am very jealous. I've been trying to teach myself for little over a year now off the internet (Irish language study materials aren't really readily available here in the states)... but if ur wondering how far i've come, i'm pretty sure i could read an Irish language newspaper. I dont really have anyone to practice with so keep making videos!👍
@@rjkonc3394 They do! There are branches in many cities in the UK, as well as Berlin, LA, and I'd imagine other places too. I met a man who spoke Irish (and Spanish) when I was in Miami! I met him through the Facebook Group Gaeilge Amháin. 🔎
Update: they accepted my request. All those questions, i answered in what i'm sure was very shitty grammatical irish. But i guess they understood that i wish to learn 😉
I've been lucky as far as posting a letter goes. I'm a Yank, but have relations from Dunguin as well as other parts of Ireland. I always address letters in Irish, including letters to Belfast and Derry, with no problems since the 1970s.
When i lived in Ireland i always wrote the address and sender in both English AND Irish.....on ”principle” ........or just for the fun of it perhaps. ( I wonder what the Swedish Postman thought?).
Absolutely fascinating your last point. In Wales, we can write to the government and address letters in Welsh and they'll be absolutely fine with it. It'd be unthinkable to have any kind of public service that can't be used in Welsh.
Thank you so much for this video :-D I just loved the comparison. Makes learning Irish even more interesting in a way :-D I hope I can visit some part of the Gaeltacht some day.
go raibh maith agat , that was a fun comparison :) Last time I was in the Gaeltacht area, I did not speak any Irish, cannot wait to go back and see if A1 Irish will open secret doors
I really enjoyed this one, as a massive fan of Harry Potter and a nerd about Ireland. Also would you have any advice for someone in America looking to learn Irish?
GRMA! You could see if there is an Irish centre near you that does classes, I know they have them in many cities. Or maybe a university.... I was teaching in Villanova last year and had some students over a certain age who were making use of a program that allowed senior citizens to take free classes :) Failing that, Osgur Ó Ciardha has made a great list of things you can do yourself to learn on Twitter. twitter.com/i/moments/973263871229267968
Ciara Ní É thank you! I think I might have a chance finding an Irish center her. But my best bet is probably a program through a university. I am currently a law student at LSU, which is a relatively large school, and there are a good bit of Irish diaspora here, so I’ll look around. I will definitely look into the list on Twitter regardless. Thanks again. This has helped me out a lot.

GRMA! Where in the world are you? B'fhéidir go bhfuil craobh de Chonradh na Gaeilge ann, nó ciorcal comhrá nó mar sin?
I'm by miami 🌞🏝🏖 i checked their website but conradh na gaeilge doesn't seem to have any branches outside of Ireland 🤷♂️

I love this!!! Definitely fun! (And I echo those who have already commented on the hope the use of Irish becomes more and more common!)

Gle mhath, tapadh leat! :)
Love it!
Im 33 and live in Australia. Im teaching myself irish. Is it too late for me to go to camp lol. God it sounds amazing 😍
You'll have to come to Ireland - lots of adults go to Oideas Gael to learn Irish :) So exciting for you that you started to learn - go n-éirí leat!
@@miseciara go raibh maith agat! Ireland is on the top of my list. Thats so cool, im 100% going to make it happen.
Rejoice the fact that an Irish man is now as US President - The Most Powerful man on Earth !
I don’t want to say I’m a half blood, so I’ll just say I’m a full blood in half the dose...
