only recently came across your videos. They are very practical, I'm retired, so have the time to learn (re-learn) my native language.

[Minniechula]

Whenever I would ask my Mom to say something in Irish she would say “Conas atá tú?” Never saw it written. Thank you - what an incredible language.

It would be good to include a literal translation (word for word) so as well as learning the phrases we get to see how the grammar works for each phrase.

Dia duit Dean is mise Risteard. Thank you for all your hard work and teaching this beautiful language. I want you to know how much you are appreciated for your time and energy. Go raibh maith agat Dean. Risteard.

Beautiful video, as always, Dane! Go raibh maith agat! A couple of my favorite phrases as Gaeilge are as follows: Nar Laga dia i/e = May God not weaken her/nim; An fod a sheasamh, = To stand one's ground, or make a stand. I also love: Na caill do mhisneach! = Don't lose your hope! Agus is aoibhinn liom a frasa seo (D'fhoghlaim e sin diot): Is fearr Gaeilge briste na Bearla cliste! Sin fior!

[anasevi]

thank you for keeping on, i have learned heaps the last 3 months being subscribed.

[c.miller]

My favorite video ever! Thank you so much, Dane.

[pompikaushal]

Dia dhuit Dane! A great video with very useful phrases, especially you told two more ways of asking someone's name and many other useful phrases. Really I must admit that you are a very good teacher! Físeán an-úsáideach ! Thaitin sé go mór liom!
Go raibh míle maith agat agus slán go fóill!

[Alasdair]

So many usefully phases in this video and I'm glad am at a phase in my Irish journey where a can really start to make use of full sentences and phrases rather than individual words and basic things I am still reading children's books but I cant wait to hit the point where I can read the newspaper. Go raibh mile maith agat. 😃

[plaid-sofa]

thank you so much 👏 the most helpful video for me, by far :)

[bomaite]

Is there a mistake at 2:00? Should it be "Cad is ainm duit" and not "Cad is aim duit" in the text?

[neillittle]

Hi, I just discovered you here, and I like your videos. I am trying to get myself going more studying Irish. I have the Buntús Cainte books 1-3, and I have picked up various grammar resources as well like Teach Yourself Irish by Diarmuid Ó Sé, Progress in Irish by Máiréad Ní Ghráda, and a book called Irish Grammar Book by Nollaig Mac Congáil. A lot I guess! ANY suggestions welcome!

[patrickcardiff]

Thank you so much! Go raibh míle maith agat, táim fíorbhíoch díot!

[Whit-dcat]

Are you on X? I speak a dialect carried over to Southeast Ontario by my ancestors on both sides, looking to polish it up. Not many speakers here... I am 37 and one of the youngest!

[kabirinet]

Thanx a lot. It is so good to listen to the irish sound. - as to one of your screens: Is is: cad is ainm d. - is it not? what is your name?

[amherst]

Go raibh maith agat aris -- one request though which would be to also give the literal meaning of the phrases -- e.g. with "what are your hobbies" if you have a bit of Irish you can tell there is more of a story in what words are there and I found it a bit distracting as I found myself trying to remember what the words literally meant (it's also a bit wonky for me as I learned a dialect different from yours and sometimes the vocabulary is different) but it's *very helpful as always* to have the Irish somewhat resurrected out of whatever cells it has been stored in :)

[ATLmodK]

My favorite phrase while in Ireland is: ta Cupla focal gaelige agat. I know a little Irish.

[jtestbans]

Hello, I'm from Panama I've subscribed yet, so I would like learning of it, please.

[FeralWorker]

Is 'Conas atá tú' often/correctly also pronounced as "Conuss taw too?" I've heard this many times but've never seen it suggested in learning materials.
