  • For St. Patrick's Day this year, I tried to play Pokemon Red and Blue in Gaeilge, our native Irish language. I haven't studied Irish in 10 Years
    Check out the Pokemon Red and Blue fan translation here. A massive thanks to Draoi for making this, it is seriously so cool to see something like this made / after_6_months_of_work...
    Watch me play Irish Geoguessr with Irish friends: • Three Irish CZcamsrs ...
    This video took a considerable amount of work to make subtitles for! Everyone please give their thanks to my editor Cloé for this one, as she worked exceptionally hard on it. You can find her and thank her personally here / xashtaricx and here / ashtaric

    Such a mindfuck to hear just how localized the pronunciation of this language gets. My great-grandparents spoke and taught a version that looked the same yet sounded completely different. Gramma Lalor used so much flourish and throat when she spoke it. I feel so bad that barely understand any Irish whatsoever.

    • @LordJazzly
      @LordJazzly Před měsícem +33

      Well, most native speakers _would_ use a more 'throaty' pronunciation, since the various Gaelics use pharyngealisation to mark different grades of consonant, making it an important part of the language being intelligible to listeners. But, as noted in the video - Irish language education in Ireland teaches the language as if its students are all background speakers (for various reasons), so students tend to speak Irish as if it's an extension of their existing native language. Which is usually English. That said, this isn't too bad for a (geographically and population-wise) smaller language learnt at school and then (by the sounds of it) not used much in-community. I've heard people with religious/ritual languages in their background/upbringing have a lot more difficulty speaking and reading; practise might not be everything with language, but you can't really do _without_ it.

      To be fair, unless you're lucky enough to have another language spoken to you during that two-ish year period where infants are receptive to language learning, learning another language is bloody hard. I had German lessons for a good four years of school, and I didn't absorb anything beyond how to recognise German words (probably because I joined the class a year late and missed all the basic fundamentals :/ )

    Pokemon games can legit be good resources for language studies, since the language tends to be simple and understandable by children as well.

      @LocusTime Před měsícem +10

      I have done this! When I was studying french, I set my Pokemon Sword to french to try and casually learn it. Was certainly an interesting experience and I picked up some words, but not the most effective since it was quite easy to play through without knowing the language (since I’ve played through SwSh before + they’re quite hand-hold-y games) and therefore my brain just didn’t bother to pick up too much. So, for any wanting to try it, I would say its worth it for fun, but practically you will want to play through a harder pokemon game and maybe best to have a dictionary with you to check the words you don’t know, so you actually teach yourself it rather than guessing/ignoring the words. Either way very fun to see RT attempt it!

    The Cáca Milis bit made me think of a short film we watched in French lessons: in it, an old woman takes a bus or tram (been a while, can't remember which one). She sits in one of those seats where you have two double-seats facing each other, making it a 4-person space. A black man sits down across from her at the next stop. She gets really arsey with him, insulting him for not speaking perfectly fluent French and a bunch of racist stuff. At the next stop, a ticket inspector comes aboard. The woman gets hers out. She again insults the black man for not having a ticket. So having had enough, in a moment where the inspector isn't watching, the black man does the only reasonable thing in that situation: he fucking *eats the granny's ticket*. Just snatches it from her hand and eats it. So the inspector reaches them, she complains about the man. He speaks up for the first time and in perfect French and supreme calm tells the inspector he doesn't know what the woman is talking about, then gets his own ticket from his pocket. She gets in trouble, he doesn't. And the short film ends.
    I did not expect that to happen at all while watching it, so it was very funny at the time (this was about 10 years ago). Moral of the story: don't be a CZcams like that old woman was.

      I was expecting that story to end like that ad where a white woman is sitting next to a black man on an airplane and she requests to be moved, and the flight attendant says there's a spare seat in first class and gives it to the black man instead of the racist woman.

      I swear I watched that film but it was in German? And I don't think it was a German dub because I remember the lips lining up with what they were saying 🤣 so there must be 2 versions of the same short film lmaoooo

    • @miles6492
      @miles6492 Před měsícem +64

      We watched that in German too, and there was a very specific word choice I noticed in it... You see, there are two words meaning "to eat"--- one is "essen", which is used for people, and the other is "fressen", which is used for animals. So she says, "Er *frisst* mein Karte!" Which *really* adds to her racist shittery IMO.

    • @LordPichuPal
      @LordPichuPal Před měsícem +23

      That is hilarious that he just eats the ticket, of all things he could do. Even better that the guy gets to show her up for being a dick like that. It's a good message for people to learn about or understand, and doing it in a humorous kind of way helps lighten the mood of it.

    • @Erik_Emer

      I thought it's originally German. It's called "Schwarzfahrer," which is a double entendre literally meaning "black passanger," or but also figuratively meaning "fare evader."
