How to start speaking Irish | Gaeilge i Mo Chroí

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

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

I'm sure I am one of many Irish Americans who will become attached to this channel.

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

God bless Irish people.

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!

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

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 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!

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!

I'm not Irish, but it would be a real shame for this language to die out. Only the Irish people can prevent this from happening. Stay strong 🇵🇹🇵🇹

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).

Im german and i dont plan to learn irish but instead of doing my homework i follow the roots of the holy youtube algorithm

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 love that. "Weeeellllll, the British"

0:42 "well... basically, the British." 80% of Irish history in just four words.

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.

I UNDESTOOD EVERY WORD YOU SAID TO MY SHOCK,IT JUST POPED BACK IN TO MY HEAD FR0M SCHOOL .GOG BLESS LOVELY GIRL

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!! ❤

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.
