There's no way the people in this video represent a random sample of passersby The average standard of Irish is way below what's shown here

Hi I’m Hilary raised as an American Irish Catholic, fascinated with my culture as an Irish American I’m very proud of my Irish Catholic heritage But now feel that the Irish are woke and weak, which makes me very sad
Comment from : @HilaryWells-c6x

This made me so happy, thank you
Comment from : @KCrail23

Don't want to be such but the culture disappears when the language does Irish should be proud and just speak irish

So cool! Hopefully you'll forgive me testing myself a bit here; apologies for any errors: brbrIs Meiriceánach mé, agus táim ag foghlaim Gaeilge ar Duolingo Is aoibhinn liom é seo! Go raibh míle maith agat agus dia duit ón Stáit Aontaithe! brbr(Hopefully, that wasn't too painful for native speakers to read) brbrWatching this gave me a good idea of how many words I understood Thanks so much for this!
Comment from : @brynnesantos9817

I grew up in Manchester, I can't speak Irish but can normally get the idea because I grew up listening to and phonetically learning songs in Irish and listening to my aunties gossip

Its soo great to the young learning Irish, Great Britain was the reason why they werent allowed to speak their native language until 1922
Comment from : @steve00alt70

Somhairle MacGill-Eain from Raasay said he felt like he had come home when he went to Ireland as the language was more alive there
Comment from : @sky37blue

I have heard it said by Gaidhlig speakers (of which I am not one unfortunately as there was no opportunity at school in Scotland) that many Gaels let themselves down by having it and not using it
Comment from : @sky37blue

That is great that you found so many people who can speak even somebrbrWe need more of this in Scotland Our shared culture is of great worth
Comment from : @sky37blue

I love the sound of this language Never heard anything like it It’s like Simlish and a bit Korean! Love from 🇵🇱 ❤

“A few words”, whatever it translates to in Irish, it sounds a bit rude 😂 every time someone said it I thought they were swearing
Comment from : @jancovanderwesthuizen8070

I met good people from Galway years ago during the 1980's and they all spoke Irish and giggled a lot! They were the very best!
Comment from : @johnhanaly2943

I have a feeling some of the young men interviewed here may have appeared in the No Bearlá documentary lol

I know a few Americans who speak Irish Not sure who they talk to, though
Comment from : @glennlanham6309

To my Californian ears, I find it fascinating how the less fluent Gaeilge speakers' rhotic R is reminiscent of a general American one
Comment from : @Arrivillaga_

I was crossing Eyre Square in Galway with a Russian friend This guy sitting on the steps stood up and addressed us in Irish He got the shock of his life when I answered - in Irish He thought I was Russian as well! Me and a friend had a great laugh over it

Comment from : @8lessplay7

Would love to learnIrish grandparents who migrated to the States were, so I was told, forbidden from learning the language growing up in Letrim and Sligo, so they never learned
Comment from : @DomPruzzo

I really just want to learn Irish again so I can understand my grandparents😭 I still want to keep the Irish part of me alive💚
Comment from : @Themoggyman97

Tá cúpla focal gaeilge agam 🤨brΚαι αν ξέρεις δεν πρέπει ποτέ να το πεις 🤫🤐
Comment from : @nathanaelito

I've never been there myself, but based on my own learned understanding of Galway, I told some people more than a few times that everybody from there is either a musician, or a shepherd, except for the guy who owns the pub, and having seen this, I think I got it right And I'm pretty sure that I knew I did because the people I met who were from Ireland, some of them were from Galway, who I said this to could not stop laughing
Comment from : @NEbluefire

I'm sure someone's said it in the comments but "gay-lick" is just an english-language thing, in scotland it's gàidhlig ("gah-lick" if you wanted an english phonetics version) I always heard growing up that "gay-lick" was what the irish called it so it's very funny to me that you have the same thing the other way round
Comment from : @flibberfrogman5508

Thank you to pointing out to people that Gaelic is not the same as Irish! I see it used wrong so often on the internet
Comment from : @TheWBWoman

You should do an interview in Dublin ,to see how many people speak Gaeilge in Dublin;apart from those who have moved from other parts of Ireland to Dublin

Comment from : @lepmuhangpa

Eu estudo Gaeilge e sou brasileiro/português e moro no Brasil Se fosse morar fora daqui, moraria em Portugal, pois também sou português e tenho família no norte de Portugal Então, sem qualquer perspectivas de encontrar um irlandês na vida, eu estudo Gaeilge porque eu gosto da língua É difícil explicar a razão Eu não sou um desses gênios poliglotas Mas o idioma irlandês me fascina
Comment from : @Zibioscruton

It is very interesting to see how the old people's speech sounded lees "englishy" than the youngster's speech

As a Hungarian, it brings me joy to see people who are proud of their culture, history, traditions and Language Don't let them take that away from you Europe belongs to the Europeans Ireland to the Irish, Scotland to the Scottish Etc etc
Comment from : @FinnoUgric

Great video I lived in Dublin for three years up until a few months ago, and I would always tell my partner how heartbreaking it is for me to hear more Spanish than Irish in the capital of Ireland (I am Spanish myself) I hope more and more people get to know the beauty of this language and keep it alive
Comment from : @paumoya2

Fabulous video really enjoyed would love more of this nature Loved when you really stuck and got into conversations with people i think it probably surprised them at how much of the language they had and there was great pleasure in listening to these conversations
Comment from : @Emilyk1317

I always found Irish hard to learn I’m in Transition year now and have been learning it for about 11 years Despite that my Irish still kind of sucks and I could barely get by in a conversation And I don’t think that’s uncommon for lots of people my age Tá beagáinín Gaeilge agam ach níl sé go hiontach I think the issue with it is we’re taught to write Irish and prepare for tests which generally don’t include oral parts until leaving cert My teacher said Irish should be fun and you shouldn’t think of it as a chore, but when you have a test looming that could decide your future it’s difficult to not worry
Comment from : @Sunny-vp7lr

I am an American living in NYC I am very impressed the Irish language is alive and well
Comment from : @briankelly85

I’m so fascinated by the sound of the language I just recently found out that my grandfather was Irish when taking a look into my ancestry in the process of applying for my first British passport That lead me to this video This is just wonderful to listen to Thanks for this video!
Comment from : @Kephinio

The tall, dark-haired young man at 1:37 is pretty impressive! It's interesting that a lot of them have a distinct "English" (language) accent
Comment from : @fordtruxdad5155

Adore that young generation speaks more well 💚💚
Comment from : @ninokatsitadze7787

I am irish and I cant learn it so I started korean because people said it easy and I can speak it now but I can't learn irish for some reason
Comment from : @Xerez_1

Why does it lowkey sound like Simglish? Lol
Comment from : @getmeouttahere3595

Sounds very nice! But seems very difficult for me 🤪🫣
Comment from : @alibellka

This was amazing to see people still hold the availability to speak this well, all is not lost! It should be taught in all schools 🙏
Comment from : @brianmcmanus57

I still remember hearing my english teacher speaking irish to us about old english and the surrounding languages of the british isles before translating to englishbrAlways found it fascinating
Comment from : @OHHHHUSBANT

I think people from the celtic nations should be way more united than they are today We could show to the world celtic people, celtic cultures, celtic languages still exist
Comment from : @Ys-uv3zq

I was today years old when I found out Irish people had their own language 🤦🏽‍♀️ I’d never heard this language before
Comment from : @mylilpc

This was great I'd love to learn the language someday
Comment from : @in-craig-ible6160

It always gladdens my heart to see people hang on to their native/ancestral languages especially when so much has been thrown at them to try and make them lose it I sincerely hope Irish and all the other Celtic languages make a comeback Language is such an essential part of culture I’m learning or rather relearning mine too
Comment from : @DarrenMoore-le6pg

Poor Galway- Muhammad has been the #1 most popular baby name for years- brBless the ones who pass on the language (I’m a mom to half cork half American baby) I’m setting everything up to pass down my husbands language The Irish language is set to disappear before most native languages It’s important to use DAILY! ❤❤❤
Comment from : @cour2knee

I don't even speak irish and have never been to Ireland but PLEASE keep this language alive Its one of the most pleasant languages to just sit and listen to
Comment from : @jasonberezowski2869

Its so lovely seeing irish people speaking their language ❤ cheers
Comment from : @danielimmortuos666

What makes you think Irish is not Gaelic? You simply asserted that It is only a modern convention that Scottish Gaelic is referred to as Gaelic and Irish Gaelic as Irish, but this isn't based on anything substantial Native speakers often call Irish "Gaelic" Who the hell do you think you are telling all English native speakers what to call the language? Do you not realise English has 400m native speakers, most of them not Irish, and we will tell you what the language is called - in English
Comment from : @disappointedenglishman98

No hate but I really don't like how the irish language sounds One of my least favourite
