How to start speaking Irish | Gaeilge i Mo Chroí

** it should have been fáilte GO not DO + the fada is on the second 'a' in uafásach

Dia duit agus fáilte go Gaeilge i mo chroí! Hello and welcome to 'Irish in my heart' 😁

This is the first video on my new channel dedicated to spreading my passion for the Irish language and hopefully helping those who never got the chance to learn Irish, to learn some now. In this video you will learn how to say Hello, hello back, how are you, how to respond and a few other phrases to get you started with this beautiful language.

14 year old American trying to learn Irish over quarantine. It hurts my brain, but these videos really help! Thanks!

I'm in love with the Irish people. Something HAS to do be done to keep and grow the Irish language!!

I have been trying to learn the language of my ancestors for years. NO ONE else, person or app, breaks down the phonetic pronunciation the way you do here. BLESS YOU!

We just returned from Ireland, and the Irish language seemed far from "non-existent" to us. English may dominate, but we covered a lot of ground and everywhere we went, on the buses, in parks, at the college or in restaurants, someone was speaking Irish. It was a wonderful sound. The bilingual signage helps to reinforce it as the true native language of the country. I intend to learn it at least on some level, to honour both my family heritage and current efforts towards revitalization.

I'm an American who's been learning Irish on my own for years. I finally broke through enough to be doing my Masters degree in Irish. I've had to accept that I'll never fully master it, but that eternal challenge and search for improvement is precisely why I love it so much. Your videos have helped me so much, go raibh míle maith agat!

I was born in Limerick named after Pearse and spoke Gaelic fluently, my family moved to Canada when I was 8 (I’m 18 now). But the plan for me at least has always been to go back home. I sadly lost my native tongue so thanks so much for making these videos they’ll be a great help!

Hello, I am a native of Ireland .Thank you so much for your gift and sharing our language. it has always been a dream of mine to learn our language fluently. I feel it is so important for every culture to know and be connected to their native tongue. Go raibh Míle mo chara <3

My name is Aisling, and even though I am only a quarter Irish, I am learning it to reconnect with family I have lost early on in my life. My maternal family came from Ireland, and died early in my life which really hurt me because they were the closest I could get to having a place of belonging. They were very close to me, but rarely spoke about where they had come from. The village they were from no longer exists, and I am kind of grasping at straws to connect with the place I came from. Thank you so much for posting this ❤️

[traumatisedcactus]

Im half irish half tunisian and grew up in england. I've always had fond memories of visiting my grandad in ireland, and wanted to learn the language, since im a teenager the earlier the better!

Weirdly enough as i started learning I felt that I had been missing something, and now I am whole again.

I am really grateful for your videos for teaching me irish!!!

Lots of love!! Dia duit!! ❤

[HiddenEarth]

As someone who holds my country and culture above all else and want to learn the language of my people this helps exponentially thanks🇮🇪

I am Australian and my Irish ancestors came here in the 1840s. They spoke Irish fluently and even my grandmother used to speak it a fair bit, they just refused to let go of it. She had alzheimers now and any hope of her teaching me (i’m 20) seem lost, so i’ve come here. Hopefully i will learn it and be able to teach my children when i have them, too.

I became interested in learning Irish because I learned about how the British would keep tally sticks for Irish students and issue corporal punishment for each time a student uses an Irish word. I didn’t ever know my great grandfather and grandmother, but I felt an intense political obligation to learn the language for them. They were from Donegal, so I feel so glad to learn from someone who speaks the way that they spoke. Go raibh maith agat.

[dragon-berry]

I am a 17 year old Irish-American and since my grandma was adopted as a baby we never had Irish spoken in the family and I want to dig up the roots of my Irish heritage and actually learn it. So being the Insomnia person I know I am up at 2:26 am learning Irish the best I can before I get tired for real

[NohAotori]

Its so satisfying to see young people trying to keep alive their languages. Good job!
Im still struggling learning english just because its the "international" language bah! Every country should promote learning and using their original languages tbh
subscribing cause Gaelig always has been on my language's wish list to learn someday

[MCShvabo]

I am from Eastern Europe and I have no blood relationship with Ireland in any way but I think it has such a cool history and culture so I want to learn the language!

My great-grandmother moved from Clonbur to Boston in the early 20th century. She didn't come back to visit until the late 1950s. Over that time, she had lost her Irish language skills, while her brother had never learned English. So a cousin had to translate for them. I was able to find and reconnect with my Irish family, and for my parents 50th wedding anniversary in 2015, we went over and met up with some, and then some more in a few following years. Two of these were fellows who were excellent in both Irish and English and because of this were able to do well in their civil service careers in Dublin, and both are now retired. I want to learn Irish, but worry about my ability to learn it, because languages are much easier to learn when you are young (especially before puberty).

I'm from Ohio in the USA. My family has an Irish/Scottish heritage, my wife and I went on our honeymoon in Ireland. I really would love to learn Irish, and am glad to have discovered this channel.

Thanks!

Oh my gosh, my son wanted to hear Irish Gaelic spoken instead of sang.
I am so glad you have put this out here. And that you say things on the repeat a wee bit slower. I am basically retraining my brain to hear properly and re-learning the Irish language. At one time I was fluent but seizure disorder kind of mess with that. English is my first language, are used to be fluent in Irish and Scottish Gaelic. So I’m trying to relearn them now. Your channel is amazing thank you so very much for doing this. This was just the resource that I needed. I am legally blind so books are no help. I have hearing loss, so when you say it slower in is helping me to make sure that I’ve heard consonants correctly. Thank you thank you thank you. I know I keep saying it but thank you.
