I have a bit of a story of Irish in reverse if you will. My Leitrim uncle never said hello or good day or good morning. He always said “God be with you!”. I chalked it up to an elderly man using phrases from his youth. That is, until I took my first Irish class and the first phrase I learned was “Dia dhuit!”, loosely translated as “God be with you!” Love it.

My mother was Welsh and my father from Wexford and, even though I live in and grew up in Australia, I use so many of those words all the time. I guess because they were the words I grew up with. I just thought everyone used them. Now I understand why half the people I talk to don't understand what I am talking about. Wonderful video. So well delivered and explained.

Go raibh Mhaith agat.
At present learning with the belief that ( why say thank you in English when we can say it in Irish. Useing one word a day will change everything and people will get back into it. After all we learned English. I believe we are so spiritual hurt from loosing our language in the first place , that many can’t even accept or look in at the pain. Anyhow bless you and bless your world and passion

I lived in Kerry for a number of years and picked a few Irish words while I was living there. I even started studying Irish, but gave up after a few lessons because it was very difficult. The fact that even the locals in Co. Kerry did not speak this beautiful language (only a few smatterings they're taught in school) discouraged me a little, since I had nobody to practice with. In fact, if you really wanted to hear spoken Irish, you had to go to one of the "Gaeltacht", which the closest one to where I lived was in the Dingle Peninsula. Pity... Now that I am back in my home country, I try to learn new words and brush up on my Irish this way. Thank you for your highly valuable lessons, Wolfe Momma.
