Sorry OP but you came to the wrong place
Nobody here knows anything and so we make snide remarks to deflect
I'll get crap for saying this but you'd have more luck with your question over at reddit.
This board is long dead.

Yup. Any general language questions, come to /éire/, there's a few of us that can speak it.
>>60800501
Check out the TG4 Player.
A good show for your maybe is this show they produced: http://www.abumedia.com/factual/mobs-mhericea.html
Subtitled and partially in English with an interesting subject matter.

lolwut?
I have no idea why its so bad to embrace our heritage anyway. Oh no, not heritage.
My auntie died last week, and one of the biggest comfort was reading the ancient "Irish blessing".
May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
Made me cry. But apparently...............this is "muh heritage". Aka "cultural appropriation" for Euros
Foolproof technique OP:
>learn 300 most common words
>read irish newspapers
>watch irish tv
you'll pretty much have it down after that
works for any language.

>anon gives advice that sounds really stupid
>have never learned another language so can't actually say it is
All the years I've wasted here I could've been learning all of the ancient European tongues
Tbh you'll get a few months and give up, there needs to be a real incentive to learn a language as uncommon as Irish. And you probably won't use it much in person and conversation which is vital in leaning a language. Learning a practically dead language won't be easy
>>60800501
If you're serious as much as I appreciate the gesture there are much much more beneficial uses of your time
>>60801956
>all of the ancient European tongues
Haha why? Waste of time, even learning a modern European language is useless even more so for a yank because unless you're planning on moving to Europe then you'll never used it.

>he won't use it or get money
so what? he probably wastes half his day on 4tism anyway so between that and learning a dying language can you really say one would be a better use of time?
>>60802165
You honestly extract more from shitposting on 4chan all day than learning a foreign dead language with no large body of literature to it

>I'm irish guys, help me better speak to my people!!!!!
Most irish don't speak much of this language. They all speak english
>>60801255
>implying
>>60802257
We all speak it to varying extents, literally 99.9% of the population uses English as their sole means of communication, if they tell you on here that they don't they're probably lying

Isn't Irish a dead language?
Do people still speak Irish in your country?
MUH
>>60802386
I'm not encouraging him, nobody outside of this country or academic philology should ever spend time learning this language, many here would argue we should not be forced to learn it anymore
>>60802389
I speak it everyday. It's not dead, that's just a meme.

BASED potato!

>>60802550
It's not based m8 it's just stating facts, I want the entire population to be bilingual but Irish is taught so appallingly that that is not going to happen any time soon

>I didn't learn irish because I was taught wrong
anyone who says this just didn't care enough to put in the effort and ultimately developed no feeling of connection to their country and now doesn't care that it's being overrun by niggers

I speak Irish you faggot, I'm just not lying about people using it every day, the overwhelming majority do not

Don't think you're immune from that Sean. Your people have been speaking English for hundreds of years.
Just because some of your redneck peasant ancestors spoke gal i gee hundreds of years ago is no reason for you to pick it up.

I heard Irish people hate it when foreigners speak Irish, and I don't mean just speaking Irish randomly to anyone, actually trying to speak Irish to people who speak it just to practice and shit.
>>60802193
? Yes it does. You could easily dump decades into irish mythology, histories, the Celtic revival, and modern stuff.
I'll probably sit down and learn Irish when I'm older.

I don't think you realize how fucking cool written Irish looks. I would learn it solely on account of that.
Heck, Tolkien was a fucking linguistics professor and he learned Welsh and Finnish only because they looked and sounded cool as fuck to him.

Why do Irish people hate themselves and their culture so much?
