Bh & Mh Sounds in Scottish Gaelic

4 роки тому

If you're new to Gaelic, it's likely you've been puzzled by the Bh and Mh sounds. They're so different from English and other languages.
In this video, I'll walk you through some common ways you'll hear these pronounced. Your speaking, reading, and writing will be smoother for it.
Thank you for your support!

I’ve come across “abhainn” on Duolingo a few times and just couldn’t get the word to stick in my head, but it’s just hit me: abhainn = Avon, the name of just about every second river in the U.K! Tapadh leat!

My grandmother lived in Argyll & was very passionate about keeping Gaelic alive, but I was too young to learn from her when she was alive. It's wonderful to hear you speak about the dialect she probably would have taught me!!

Great lesson! I speak Welsh and river is afan (f pronounced as a v): I love the similarities between languages! Tapadh leibh!

I love the emphasis on pronunciation in some of your later videos as pronunciation is hard for every beginner. Thanks and keep up the good work.

I’m going to go for it man. I’m going to be making a solid attempt starting with your videos at learning Scottish Gaelic. Thanks for putting these out!

I'm so happy I've found these videos! Two of my grandparents spoke Gaelic but it didn't get passed down, I am determined to learn but have been finding it difficult. The way you teach here is exactly how I learn, thank you so much!

OMG - my husband just signed me up for a virtual whisky tasting where one of the whiskies is Bunnahabhain. I’d forgotten you’d mentioned the whisky. But when my husband asked me how to pronounce Bunnahabhain on the whisky menu, and I knew from the lesson. Thank you, Jason!

Thank you so much - really helpful! I am going with the “v” sound as my ancestors are from Argyll so it makes me want to speak that way. Very helpful indeed!

Thank you Jason. A really useful lesson. Gaelic is beginning to make sense to me, but who devised the spelling? Like many languages it was probably originally only spoken and reading or writing was the domain of the educated elite, often the clergy. I suppose an English speaker shouldn’t complain but the spelling of a large number of Gaelic words isn’t easy.

These videos are so great! Your method makes so much sense to me. Mòran taing Jason!

I find it very interesting that these are mostly the same as Irish. These languages are extremely similar.

Finally it makes sense I was trying to figure out why BH and MH were always said differently and I was looking for placement in the word and preceding vowels etc. I have little experience with dialects so that would have been my next guess but nothing to base it on as no one speaks Gaelic in NJ!

I'd keep a V for all cases and that would work nicely thank you 😅😅😅

The pace of this lesson is much better, I find- a little faster. Also can I say, super impressed at your journey to Gaelic. I hope i’ll Get there sooner than later!

I'm not even a native english speaker and there are no scottish gaelic courses, books or dictionaries in my native language available, so you can imagin how confusing it was for me when in listening excercises in course (in english) one person was using "v" and another left the "bh" silent in the same word. Thanks to you it makes sense now!
