My grandfather is from Cape Breton and used to sing me Gaelic lullabies. Now my kids play the fiddle and the bagpipes, and I'm learning the language so I can sing along with them. I love your style of teaching: taking plenty of time on a limited number of words instead of rushing through phrases, lots of repetition, hand gestures. Thank you!

Ikr!! Hes a phenomenal teacher... The man has most definitely, 100%, without a doubt found his calling & what he was born to do. I say it in every video but ive learned more Gaelic from Jason in 6 months than I learned Spanish from my Spanish teacher in 5 yrs. I thought it was impossible for me to learn a second language because id taken 5 yrs of Spanish classes & couldnt catch on or learn it... low & behold, like most teachers back in the day, my Spanish teacher was awful at her job. Its honestly remarkable how much of an impact a good teacher can make on their student & the world, its a hard job so I respect & admire anyone who can not only teach but do a phenomenal job at it.

Your videos are so awesome. I grew up in Cape Breton and took gaelic in elementary, high-school and University and got away from it when I moved to the mainland and started working. Since having my son I have been very motivated to polish and improve my gaelic so I can pass it on to him. Your videos have been a tremendous help.

My wife, (Skeletorama on YT) is helping me to learn Gaelic, and so far I'm both enamored, and confused, lol. I keep coming back to these first few videos to try to solidify the bare basics so my brain doesn't explode. I often use her as a test subject because she's got a full year of learning on me. "You should go watch, Jason. He's really good!" She's not wrong. I'm finding it to be easier than I thought it would be because of your teaching methods. Thank you!

I watch 1 of your vids everyday. I right down every word & every sentence you write on the board & say everything you say... ive been doing it for 6ish months now... I took Spanish in school for 5 years & never learned 10% of what I've learned in 6 mnths with you as a gaelic teacher. Its truly phenomenal how much a great teacher can make a difference. Only thing i learned out of 5 yrs of Spanish was "sit down" & "shut up" cuz thats all my teacher said to us. I live in Texas where we speak "TexMex Spanish". Its not Spaniard Spanish & its not Mexican Spanish but for some idiotic reason Spaniard Spanish is taught in American schools instead of Mexican Spanish. I realize TexMex isn't considered an official language but if you want to speak to the vast majority of the ppl in America, especially Texas, California, Arizona & New Mexico who speak Spanish you need to know TexMex. All that to say Ive spent 34 years around Tex Mex speakers, took 5 yrs or Spanish & havent learned newr what ive learned from you in the last 6 months. Thank you 😊 3ish months into my learning Gaelic journey I finally tracked my family tree & found out my maternal Papa is a direct descendant of Scottish King James II... Im a born and raised Texan who has never been outside of America & yet have had an extreme love and affinity for Scotland ever since i can remember... so it was odd finding out my lineage & realizing there must be something instinctual or primal in us that makes us crave where "we belong".. If that makes sense lol

That's funny, there's "oha!" in Turkish language too, but it's an exclamation of a surprise, rather unpleasant one, like when you see a very high price on something, you say "Oha!" 😱 And it's mostly used by men, for some reason it's considered not nice for women to say "Oha" 😅 Although when I was learning Turkish, I loved the sound of it so much 😅 So I'm utterly happy that there's "O tha!" in Gaelic with an absolutely innocent meaning and I can use it as much as I want (as long as I speak Gaelic though😅) 🤣

Hey Jason--greetings from the Isle of Lewis. Have a question about differentiating 'I'm not bad' as a reply to 'how are you' versus 'I'm not bad' as in I'm not a bad person (statement of character) since they both are spoken 'chan eil mi dona'. I assume context is everything, daahling??? Thanks!
@GaelicwithJason
@GaelicwithJason 2 роки тому
Heya! Thank you for your Leòdhasach greetings and I return them with unseasonably warm greetings from Maine. Context certainly helps in this case, yes. When talking about personal qualities, such as acting 'bad', perhaps it would be natural for native speakers to add in man/woman/person, ie: "I'm not a bad person!" or "You're not a bad man." Also, when talking about a bad person, perhaps 'droch' would be used instead of 'dona', ie: droch dhuine, droch bhoireannach, etc. 🙂
@wickedone6476
@wickedone6476 2 роки тому
In Irish it's the same , droch is a term used to describe many things as bad Thá droch-lá ann inniu It's a bad day today (describing weather) while dona is also a word to indicate bad olc is another word used but mostly in the sense of bad as in evil . Excellent question and response , I hadn't even considered something like that until now , thanks to both of ye's .

Hi James. I hope your day is going well. 🙂 How cool, adding some Gaelic into your bar work. There's a good pair of phrases you could use here: *tè bheag* (a small one, ie: a dram) and *tè mhòr* (a big one, ie: a dram). They're very authentic! Enjoy using them!

So how do you not confuse "Canada is big" with "Is Canada big"? Just by punctuation or cadences and contex while in conversation?
@GaelicwithJason
@GaelicwithJason Рік тому
Good Morning, Josh! I hope your day is going well. 🙂 In English, we use cadence to make questions but in Gaelic, we use a separate word: *Tha Canada mòr = Canada is big. (Tha = is) *A bheil Canada mòr? = Is Canada big? (A bheil = is?) The first one is a statement because we used *tha*, while the second one is a question due to *A bheil?* Does that help?🙂

Quick question: Mor is big. Gle is very. Gu mor is very much, but if one were to say “I love you very much “ it comes as Tha gaol mor agam ort. Where did the gu go?
@MsCatM
@MsCatM 2 роки тому
"Gaol" here is a noun rather than a verb. So, you are saying (literally), "I have big love for you" (or even more literally "I have big love on you.") So you would use the adjective form "mòr" rather than an adverbial form (such as "gu mòr") because "gaol" is a noun.
@GaelicwithJason
@GaelicwithJason 2 роки тому
Just what Catherine said. 🙂 Thanks for jumping in there, a Chatriona. In the Gaelic mindset, love isn't an action - it's something you have for someone (literally: on them). So, in that case, you'd be having big/great love for someone. It's how the phrase for 'loving' works in Gaelic. Not all phrases work like that, though. Liking something, for example, wouldn't involve a 'big like'. It would be liking something *greatly*, which is why we use the "gu mòr." Between the two of us, did we clear that up for you, Gina? 🙂
