Saoirse Ronan Tries To Teach Stephen An Irish Accent

The star of Brooklyn gives Stephen a primer in speaking with an Irish brogue.

[Ragdll]

Poor Saoirse, every show she goes on she has to do this bit.

[BS-seyg]

Irish and Scottish are such beautiful accents.

[eiloccorb]

I love how she became a star and now has to answer for all the Irish.

[caranook]

As an Irish person, I find the confusion of non Irish people reading our names hilarious!

[LostChildOfTime]

Now I want a 60 minute video of nothing but Irish names and how they are pronounced.

[sayantanmukherjee]

There's something about this girl that is unique.

My favorite part of Stephen Colbert is how he'll ask someone a question and just immediately start talking over them constantly

[dmitrytannill]

Am I only one who:
- Just. Shut. Up. For. A. Second. And. Listen. To. Her.

[leona]

American: are you Irish?
Irish: Yes
American: Okay, do you know Conor Mcgregor?

Irish Spelling Vs Pronunciation was developed with one specific goal: To confuse the sh*t out of the English!

2:38 actually there are blondes in Mexico.

There are dozens and dozens of Irish accents. Every county has it's own accent, and some have more than one depending on where you're from in that county. Hence why all the comments saying "she's pronouncing this wrong" are wrong. The way you say it, will depend on where you are from in Ireland. Slight differences, but you can hear them all the same.

This woman will never leave behind the talks about her name. Any talk show she goes, she is subjected to this.

[agoochy]

Jeez. Can he shut up and just listen until she’s done explaining

My grandfather who passed away on Saint Patrick’s Day in 2009 was 100 Percent Irish, I was only about 7 at the time so I really don’t remember if he had an accent or not !! He was an amazing man and I really wish I could have gotten to know him better and for longer than my first 7 years of life !!! Miss and love you pop corn !! So proud to be Irish !!!

Cillian Murphy, Domhnall Gleeson and Saoirse Ronan should all star in a film together. "The Unpronounceables"

[ZhangtheGreat]

"Americans love Irish people." Amazing how much things can change in 150 years, eh? =D

[vladtepes]
