Result: Irish people speak irish as a foreign language

Irish people! Don't let your language die.

Im not even irish and I want to protect this language

I’m French and have just started to learn Irish on DuoLingo; it’s quite hard, everything seems so different from the few languages I know! Word order, grammar, pronunciation...but at the same time it makes Irish fascinating and kind of mysterious! Please don’t let it die!!

If you're gonna use white subtitles... please don't wear a giant white coat that blends perfectly into them.

Don't let your beautiful language die!!!! Noooo!!!!

I noticed that Welsh is preserved more than Irish and Scottish. All those languages are very beautiful and I feel sad about their situation

Your language is who you are. Please dont lose it, much love for the Irish people.

I hope the Irish people start to speak more Irish and that it eventually dominates again in Ireland. Every nation has the right to preserve its own culture.

Why speed up the conversation with the man speaking Irish when the point of the video is to see who can speak said language.

I'm not an Irish but as a South Asian, i feel really sad how much impact colonisation made and english took so much control that both are cultures and languages are starting to disappear. In my country nowadays, if someone couldn't speak in English our own people make fun of them and call them "uneducated". It's truly very sad.

I literally cried watching this!!! Never ever let our languages die.

I met an English boy once we got in a argument he said if it weren't for us in the second world war then you guys would be speaking german and I told him well if it weren't for you we would be speaking irish and have a complete country

Keep your language alive, good people, it's part of your identity, don't lose it. Greetings from Serbia! :)

I’m American, but I just recently started learning Irish Gaelic (and a bit of Scottish but I decided to just focus on Irish first before moving to Scottish). It’s hard because I have never heard anyone ever speak it here and a lot of people don’t get why I’m learning it (“why don’t you learn Spanish?” Is a common phrase), but I just love the language so much.

I had no idea Irish folks had a native language. I thought they just spoke English with an Irish accent. But this is a really elegant sounding language. 😊

This was fascinating however it was hard to read the white subtitles as they overlapped on your white clothing, maybe you should consider using outlined script?

White subtitles on mostly white background? GOOD JOB!

I promise to learn my ancestors language as much as I learn my American Indian languages! Love you my Irish brothers and sisters! 🇮🇪💚

We lost our language when the Brits took over , they wouldn't let teachers teach Irish in school , it all became English

Irish has three uses. Going to the Gaeltacht, reading the odd sign and talking about foreigners with your friends

I just learned that Irish was a language a few months ago and it’s really interesting !! I saw one of my favorite Irish artists Niall horan speaking Irish and I was like “ THATS A LANGUAGE?? “

I love watching people having a conversation in their ethnic language, especially if it is your acquaintance. It feels like they coming from another planet :D

Love the unreadable subtitles, great touch!

They sound like they're speaking the sims language lol

Thanks for posting!❤

Do you even contrast bro.

So im irish We speak english Me personally am pretty shite at gaelige People fought for our country so the least we could do is speak our native language Im gonna make it a life goal to become fluent in gaelige like I am with english Slán👋

I have been asking myself this question for quite a while. Thank you for this video.

Please do more Irish video, I just started learning the language and this video was very realistic and helped me to evaluate my abilities

It’s still possible to revive Irish as the main language of Ireland. Change the language of instruction at school to Irish and teach English as a second language. All migrant children learnt languages this way and adapt perfectly fine. People won’t be forced to speak Irish, simply taught in it. People in Scandinavia speak excellent English while keeping their mother tongue. Children will use the language that they’re taught in as the main language and pass it on to their children. A language that is not a language of instruction will die out eventually as these children grow up and the older generation passes away.

Too many people bashing the Irish because they let their language die. Do you know for how many centuries were the Irish colonized? Grab a history book if you don't mind.

We were taught Spanish in school in belfast and no irish history at all.

This is an awesome video but for reasons I was most excited when I saw a Disney store in the background. I love and I'm jealous by the fact that you guys still have a Disney store.

The Brits took over, and tried to destroy the Irish way of life, including the language. I say we show the world just how strong Ireland is. So many people died fighting for Ireland, for their way of life. I say we bring it back, and never stop fighting for what’s ours.

From an outsider, the irish language sounds so good.

Absolutely love the language, thank you so much for sharing.

I love Irish ❤️ I just started learning it this year. For some reason, Irish pronunciation feels more natural to my tongue than my own language. And it's so much fun to learn!

I think it's interesting that the Irish say "Do you HAVE Irish?" instead of "Do you KNOW Irish?" Interesting cultural difference

Finds the only guy who spoke fluent Irish. ::fast forwards through entire segment::

Great video, love it, but a slight tweak is when in a bright background or wearing a white scarf, it would be better to give a colored outline so we can read the word.

This is my second day of teaching myself Irish, and I’ll take this as motivation to keep at.

Quick tip: When you wear a white scarf, don't use white subtitles. :P

Don't lose your language!!!! KEEP SPEAKING IRISH. I'm not even Irish but it sickens me to see people losing their own language.

Do not lose your language, buddies. Language is the power & the symbol of unity.

Great to hear so many understood and most could converse, considering you were on a busy city street. Good result.

To Answer Some Questions In The Comments: Q1 - Is Irish Taught In School? A1 - Yes, Irish Is Mandatory For Children When We Enter School (Age 3/4) And Until We Leave Secondary School/High School (Age 17/18/19) Then We Can Pursue It In University But Most Universities Require You To Speak Irish As Well As A Second Language Such As French Or German, But There're's Certain Times Where You Are Exempt (Don't Have To Learn) From Irish Such As If You're Family Moved From Another Country And You Are Over 11 Years Old.... And If You Have A Disability That Makes Learning The Language Very Hard For You........ Q2 - Do The Irish Hate The English/Vice Versa? A2 - This Is A Sensitive Question For Most Of Us As We Were Conquered/Settled And Murdered By The English For Almost 800 Years And The Troubles Made Our Relations Even Worse, But I Think Since The Good Friday Agreement Our Relationship With The UK Has Improved. To Answer The Question, No We Don't "Hate" The English Per Say, We Don't Admire Them For Their Treatment Of Us Or How They Deliberately Starved Us To Death During The Famine Of The Late 19th Century, Some People Don't Like Them And They'll Curse The Queen Or The Union Jack, But I Personally Have Absolutely No Problem With The English People. I Was Talking To One Of My Friends, Who's English And Has Lived Over Here (Ireland) For 11 Years, And She Said They Were Never Told Anything About Ireland In School And What They Did To Us, She Had To Look It Up Herself In Books And She Was Absolutely Horrified About What She Found Out... The Famine, Plantations etc. She Said She Couldn't Blame The Irish For Hating The English...... Hope This Helped!! :-)

This is really sad :( I hope Irish becomes more prevalent as time goes by.

WOW! This is cool. I didn't know so many Irish people still speak Irish! Sounds great!

I am not Irish myself, but I want to protect this language. As a language, it is one of the symbols of the people and self-consciousness. Reading the history of the Irish people and language, I just wanted to cry.

Being half Irish this is incredibly sad. My mom always made sure my sisters, and I spoke Irish. I speak, English, Spanish, and Irish. I wish we could stop speaking the language of our oppressors... long live Ireland. ✊🏼🇮🇪

"Is mise Mammy" i love that woman

Very interesting language.. i like it

I am not Irish but I want to visit Ireland so bad, I m in love with the culture and the mythology. Protect this language at all costs!

I wish irish wasn’t takes for granted as much as it is - it’s part of our heritage like

What has England done to you.

As a Brazilian i can say that i never heard a language that hard. It's AMAZING ! Protect your culture

please don't lose this language , do something about it .it's lovely language with beautiful deep accent.❤❤❤ love you from belgium.

pro tip - DONT use white lettering for subs if the background is really bright.....

Wow I had no idea the Irish has their own language, simply beautiful I could listen to it all day

I have a good bit of Irish in my family tree, and used to watch an Irish soap opera that was in Irish with subtitles. I liked the way it sounded, and still do.

I am just starting to learn Irish on Duolingo; I'm American and have a little Irish ancestry but mostly I think the language and accent are so beautiful and it makes me happy to hear them. I couldn't make sense of much at the speed everyone was talking in this video but I did understand "agus!" :)

I can speak a little bit of Gaeilge. I'm from England but my dad is Irish and he taught me some of it.

Of course there is always one person that can speak Irish perfectly.

When i was younger i was absolutely fascinated by Irish and Welsh and really had wanted to learn both.. never happened. Aesthetically sounds so beautiful 😍

As an asian who grew up in Ireland I spoke Irish better than the Irish kids in my class

For anyone who's interested in learning Irish, there's a free course on duolingo for english-speekers.

Ah man, I actually had feels when that guy felt that he was letting down his country :(

I felt in love with irish language. So sweet pronunciation) greetings from Azerbaijan)

Hey look what a treasure of a video we have here. I love going back on your videos. And I watched this at least 20 times lol. And every time I watched this there was this burning question coming up. Would you consider to do this kind of video in 2022?

im from vietnam. my country was colony of china for over 1000 years but we dont speak chinese, we still speak vietnamese. irish people should do the same

it's such a beautiful language

As someone who just finished my leaving cert orals and is not an Irish person, if this language wasn't forced upon students and was an option more people would learn to love and speak it

@Clisare, 7 years after yo7 posted this: I really love your channel! Just one thing: could you adjust the color of the subtitles, the white is hardly visible. Wonderful work, love it!

I am only half Irish and was born and raised in Turkey until I was 18, yet my mom taught me Irish since I was a baby. It is sad many people cannot speak it without throwing 4 english words to a supposedly Irish sentence of 5 words.

Beannachtai ó Ceanada, My great-granny came from Ireland in the late 1890s as a teen and she mostly spoke Gaeilge and my grandpa spoke it fluently as well. My dad never bothered learning it and I was never taught much from my grandpa beyond a few basic words & phrases. My grandpa died in 2012 and he was the last person in my family to speak it, anywho, last year I started learning to read & write it, which is coming along okay, but can only say or understand a few words verbally. Páirtí ar! 🤘

Scottish and Welsh are languages that are unfortunately dying, but Irish does everything possible to continue maintaining it, and that is greatly appreciated, it is a very beautiful language. But unfortunately for Ireland, English is being assimilated very quickly all over the world. As the Welsh said, *May the old language endure.*

Interesting. As an American, I never knew this. Thank you for teaching me something new today. Now I'm interested in knowing when I wish turned into English I wish or whatever you might call it. Something to Google tomorrow.

Im irish I speak irish and proud to speak and write it

This is so beautiful language I'm Amazigh from Algeria and we have the same problem we have our Amazigh language but many peaples speak Arabic and This threatens our language to extinction😢😭😭

Irish here, can speak Irish fluently. So I hope it grows more over the years

Comment to boost the algorithm. Love the content!

So sims speak in irish?

What a beautiful language. love how it sounds. I speak spanish and i really really like irish. Hope you manage to keep it alive!

I wish my people in Peru did still speak their native language (Quechua). If you'd do the same test on the streets in Lima, very few would be able to say something in Quechua and the few who speak it would probably ashamed and act as if they didn't. Hold to your language, people! Your ancestors would be proud. Actually Gaels and Native Americans share similar trauma. Love from Germany!!

Absolutely love your videos, your the prettiest of them all.

omg im middle eastern and i love how this language sounds! no seriously im going to study it until i know how to completely speak, write and understand it!!

This is so sad. Many people with Irish blood have no pride in the old ways. Doesn't give hope for the future of the celtic languages.

Speaking your native tongue is the most fulfilling things you will ever do.

As a Native Hawaiian I can appreciate keeping your language alive. I WILL learn Irish Gaelic!

I'm irish and recently spent 2 weeks in irish college(where you can only speak irish). I'm in second year and in my opinion its our own fault we don't speak irish. Sure the British didn't let us speak irish but that was over 100 years ago. So many people died for our language yet almost no one can speak it fluently, it's such a shame people don't realise its dying out and try make more of an effort, my irish isn't the best I'm pretty good at speaking but not writing which is why this is in english. Even by saying "go raibh maith agat" to a shop keeper or saying "anseo" instead of "here" in class. Thx for reading my rant😂 slàn go foil mo chara👋👋

Wow glad to know it's spoken so much still. I'm have been learning on Duolingo for some time now. Irish isn't that great on there but the Scottish Gaelic is awesome!

Nice video!! In my country many Irishmen arrived during the last 3 centuries to join the Spanish army, or to live in the Iberian Peninsula, the islands and Latin America. Obviously they were Catholics that had a lot to do with it. I find these topics very interesting. (I'm sorry for my English) Greetings from Barcelona! Love Ireland :D

I speak Scottish Gaelic and this sounds like I've been awake for 5 days and I'm to high to fully understand people

Please use stroke for subtitles next time, its really hard to read white text on the white background.

I like these types of interviewin the people! I get to learn more about living in Ireland and stoof!

My grandpa was born in scotland raised in northern ireland spoke Gaelic I wish I paid more attention to it when he spoke it trying to teach us grand kids. Miss you Poppy. so much
