There are three based guys at my work.
2 are from Ireland, one from Scotland.
Sometimes they'll speak to each to other in Gaelic.
I want to learn this language
Can someone please direct me to a video series that teaches it?
Or if you know of a good book or DVD that I can buy?
How long does it take to learn?
>>68069385
to become fluent in any language; at least a year, if you practice intensely.
Move to a gaeltacht area in Ireland and you'll be able to speak Gaeilge within a year.
Don't have a clue about Scottish gaelic though.
>>68069385

Welsh Gaelic is still widely used in day to day life, feels good man.
Irish/Mexican here, my mom taught me Gaelic and my dad taught me Spanish.
Wish I could speak gaelic, was spoken around here aswell

can you speak 3 languages fluently since you learned them from birth?
if so, jelly
You'll probably be hard pressed to find actual info on here, nearly every Irish kid is forced to learn Gailge in school and most grow to despise it and forget it as soon as the final exam is done.
Best answer is come to Ireland, visit a Gealtacht area on the west coast. There are Breach and Fior gaeltacht areas, Breach (iirc) is where less than 40% speak irish on a daily basis, which Fior being where more speak it. They are usually really open to visitors and know most are there to try and learn so will attempt to accommodate you, the best way to learn a language is to see it in use.
>>68071758
Rarely ever speak both of them.
>>68071324
no its not like that. i dont actually sit near them at work or anything but at lunch sometimes in the cafteria (where there are over 100 people) sometimes my table will be close to theirs and i hear them talking in a language. one day i asked this guy who studied linguistics in college what they were speaking and he said it was some form of gaelic but he couldnt understand what they were talking about cause he didnt really know the language
>>68070888
Practical anon is right, your time is better served not learning what amounts to an attempt to be in with the in-crowd and use their special language for jokes
>>68071539

>>68071977
they're not really an 'in' crowd
the language has always seemed cool and then when 3 guys at my work spoke it it made me really want to learn it
>>68071841

Is this because St. Patrick's Day just happened, and you heard a bunch of Irishmen talk Gaelic? I bet you when Dr. Martin Luther King Day happens, you'll forget about learning Gaelic and want to learn how to speak nigger.

You just missed Seachtain na Gaeilge which is Irish week dedicated to learning the language. They have a website you can visit.
Also you could buy an Irish/English dictionay and try and get your hands on the Leaving certificate books on Ebay or somewhere. Leaving Cert is like a high school diploma or something.
Best thing is to go to the actual Gealtacht areas of Ireland and stay with the familes which a lot of people do. This can be expensive for people outside of Ireland.
Listen to RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta to hear the language being spoken. Website would probably broadcast in America.

Try Duolingo. It's not the most in-depth course, but its good if you're starting completely from scratch since you don't have to invest anything in it (it's online and it's free). Plus the daily targets it gives you is actually quite a good way of maintaining commitment. I haven't tried the Irish course, though, so I don't know what the quality is like for that specifically.
for context, Duolingo's into to Irish states 'learn the language of your ancestors'. (fucking plastic paddies)
it also has a fucking Mexican pyramid on the pic for the spanish course
don't expect too much from it, is all I'm saying. It's useful to learn up to a basic to medium level, but if you're really serious about learning the whole language you'll need other materials
>>68070888
although this guy has a point. There is literally no one in the world who speaks Irish who doesn't speak English as a first language as well
>>68071493
>Welsh Gaelic
oh man, I might have expected this from an American, but you are just an embarrassment.
>>68074312
Being British I thought you would be an expert on foreign languages. After all you have so many in your country already.
>>68074719
anon people have made good suggestions here. Traveling and rosetta stone would be good ways to learn the language sorry you're too much of a poorfag to afford either
You can torrent Rosetta Stone and languages. I have French and German and I swear I'm going to do them eventually.

I agree with you. Also if anon lives in a large city I'm sure that there is an Irish center in that city. These centers are a great meeting point for people that want to learn about language and culture. Not just Irish centers but others too. These kind of places help to pass on information and help people who want to learn. The people you meet in these kind of places are exactly the type of people who love to pass on knowledge.

A long, long time. The word structure isn't the same. Irish morphs nouns so that the same word has completely different pronunciations and spellings, not to mention morphing the seimhus and uru.

Whites (including Hispanics who identified as White) constitute the majority, with a total of about 246,660,710, or 77.35% of the population as of 2014. Non-Hispanic Whites totaled about 197,870,516, or 62.06% of the U.S. population.
According to Census data, there are 39.6 million American Irish.
If you take away the 39.6 million "black Irish Americans" from the 197.8 white population you are left with a white minority country. You can't have it both ways. Are you a black country or a white country?
