Ireland being discriminated against by the English is putting it very very very very very lightly
Did you know the only word in English with six silent letters is Londonderry?
That's why it's pronounced DERRY ☘
😂
Well done, guys. Many thanks for invitng and asking me to take part
Great stuff Annette, really enjoyed the video.
The famine was a 100% deliberate genocide of the indigenous Gaelic people/Irish Catholics by the English. The English first stole the land. They then rented the land they stole. They chose not to provide any food. They shipped food out under armed guard while 1 million innocent people starved on their own country. So much healing to be done ❤❤❤
P.S. My ancestors are Irish/Gaelic, but also Scots and English.
PPS the starving was so bad countries across the world donated inclding Turkey and the indigenous American Choctaw and indigenous Canadian groups. The English finally provided a bit of support only after huge international pressure.
1 million is not the figure it's more like 5 millon
These are only my opinions. American Catholic. My father had strong Irish pride. We don't teach enough about history. World leader are doing the same things today. Just slowly. The Irish have been through a lot. Watching the women explain her experience learning Irish. Is it not okay to say the English wanted to get rid of Irish language. Children were spanked for speaking it
America killed 1/4 of the Cherokee in the 1840s, it was a more brutal time.
The British government didn't spend money on anything except the Royal Navy. It was an oligarchy where very few had the vote, the rich did not want to spend money least of all on welfare which was why they brought in the workhouses in Britain. The North and East of Ireland did not rely on the potato crop, these were cereal growing areas and Dublin was the second city of empire deeply interconnected with trade. These were the areas which were still producing plenty of food, and indeed exporting it.
There was also private charity, e.g. Queen Victoria gave £2000, worth almost £200,000 now, & lent her name to a charity to help in its fundraising. Nobody did as much as Lionel Rothschild of the banking family. Immediately news of the famine became apparent he set up a charity, the British Relief Association, that raised over £500,000, equivalent to over 50 million pounds today. At times they were feeding 200,000 children daily. The British government for its part fed 3 million daily with soup kitchens, for a while anyway.
@@clivejungle6999 for all your writing you know sweet all , the English government passed the the poor law act made the landlords pay a tax on every tenant suprise suprise when the landlords kicked the tenants out with the support of the English army ,what Hitler done with guns and gas the English done with disease and cold and law the population went from 10 Millon to 4 Millon in 5 years ,if you want to sound smart next time have a read of Fogarty's book
@@clivejungle6999the British stole the land. Then they decided to charge rent to the people they stole it from. The 'famine' was just a deliberate genocide. The 'relief' was late, inadequate, only in response to international pressure (the Sultan of Turkey showed more compassion and support than the English) and stopped too early. The best thing British people can do is to listen, and apologize. Not try to justify it or pretend it didn't happen

Muricans should really sit down. Hearing muricans try to talk about anything makes me roll my eyes and cringe myself inside out.

I’m a native Irish speaker (grew up in the Connemara Gaeltacht in Galway, on the west coast of Ireland) and I just randomly stumbled across your channel!! Good stuff! Maith sibh! ☘️
Tá fáilte romhat! Is aobhinn liom an teanga seo.
Ireland have a lot of spirituality from the past. A beautyfull country. Greetings from Elsloo in the Netherlands. Were the anciënt people of the bandkeramiek lived a long time ago.
"The Anglo-Celtic Isles". I like that!
longtime viewer here, Really enjoying the direction the channel is headed. Great top tier stuff. These sort of videos will make you money well into the future because of their value. Good stuff Jacob keepin it real as usual
Thank you 🙏 I hope you are right! I was taking a gamble on this series. It was a lot to take on by myself. Here's hoping they pay off in the long run!
Dude, the scene of you walking with Conchobhar through the green field really gives me 'Odin the wanderer learning from wise folk from other lands' vibes. I think it's the hat. And the beard. But either way, great job. I'm loving all these Ireland videos so far.
Living this life and doing this work his how I honor Odin personally 🙏 🧙♂️
Been watching your videos for 4 years now. Love these new Celtic videos! Learning and re-learning so much. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for sticking around so long! Glad you are enjoying my Irish videos :)

You are 2 of rhe nicest people I have to ever met, Jacob and kevin
Thanks Annette 🙏
💚Your production is top-notch, and the subjects you're covering are amazing. Conchobhar at the start is doing good work around sean-nós singing. Eoin
🙏 Hope you check out the videos of this series as well!
Recently found your channel and I think its absolutely wonderful! So excited to see the rest of this segment unfold! Thank you for sharing 🤗
Welcome! Glad you are enjoying the series!
I got my Leaving Certificate. I never seem to be good in languages. I am glad I have studied Latin, French, English and Irish. Growing up in Ireland, Languages were drilled into you and classical teaching didn't help. Which was listen and keep still. How I survive these classes I will never know. And that while on the streets the Irish had the gift of the Gab and are historically are known as storytellers. In my personal life and my teenage years sadness did play a role but still I hung in there. I wanted nothing else than to communicate and to learn by converse. I survived and today I am a writer.
I am of Irish descent. I live in Tennessee in the U.S., and I have not yet been able to travel to Ireland, but I have been studying Irish for a little over a year now. It is a wonderful language!
Unfortunately, we didn't work hard enough to bring back the Irish language, unlike Israel and Hebrew !
If I were to be honest, there's probably more everyday speakers of Polish, Ukrainian etc than Irish. If reversal is not done now, it's curtains for the language..
My Great grandparents came from Ireland during the potato famine. My Great Grandmother passed away giving birth. She bled to death and my grandpa got his first grey hair when he was 5 years old.
Dheis Dé go mbeidh a hanam 🙏🏻
Never call it the potato famine people didn't because the potatoes failed there was plent of food in the country
@@Joseph13163everyone calls it the potato famine. And I'm Irish.
He probably had very black hair. You get that here in Ireland still.
@@TheCarlocaroline only Americans call it that . An Irish person would never .You're clearly American. American spelling and all.
Loving this series Jacob!❤ It's so awesome to me to learn more about Irish culture. I have Irish roots and second sight, and I really appreciate your work! 🙏
So happy you enjoyed!
Love the content brother
Amazing & much needed!
Great video !
Glad you enjoyed! Be sure share when possible. It helps immensely!
And don't forget the regional dialects across Ireland, of course. The language is as regionally varied as the styles of playing fiddle all over the country... :)
Is Éireannach mé agus táim ag déanamh iarracht ag foghlaim an teanga arís. Cheap mé go raibh an físeán seo go hiontach ar fad , go raibh maith agaibh agus bígí ag foghlaim an teanga lads👍👍👍
Aontaim leis! (I agree with you!) Is aobhinn liom an teanga seo. Bhí Gaeilge líofa ag mo mhamo.
Great stuff! :)
Thank You! Great stuff!!
Glad you liked it!
Well done Conor
Thanks Jscob and Kevin
Thank you for helping us Annette!
Got ancestors from Kerry and West Meath.
Another great video, they keep getting better. The land is so beautiful. It's a shame that there aren't more, overtly pagan places preserved, but that just makes the few more precious.
Irish man here watching this from America haha
Go raibh míle maith agat as an bhfíseán seo faoinár stair a roinnt linn!🇮🇪
Thank you Jacob. My ancestors were known as the Scots-Irish, also known as the Ulster Scots, because they were from Scotland but had been displaced by the British and the Irish graciously gave them a large area on the East Coast of Ireland south of Northern Ireland. No doubt there’s also some pure Irish ancestry in the genetic mix, as well.
You are kidding ..they occupied invaded..😅😅outrageous grasp of history
That's not correct at all. I dunno where you got that from...
The Ulster Scots weren't displaced by the "British", they were literally just regular Lowland Scottish folk (Scots is a Germanic language, a sister to English; not to be confused with Scottish Gaelic). They weren't gifted any land - they stole it.
ALL of the British nations colonised Ireland: the English, the Scottish and (to a lesser extent) the Welsh. None of them were fleeing their homeland (unless they were Catholics). That doesn't make being a modern British or Ulster Scots person bad or shameful. Just please don't spread fake history.
@@rambleswolf "Graciously gifted a large area of land". Nope. STOLEN + Centuries of oppression + GENOCIDE.
oh yes the plantations of ulster, indeed a thoroughly “gracious” affair!
Ireland is the country of my dreams! I tell myself that someday I will definitely touch this land and these stones, which carry the energy of freedom and magic and such great power of the people, so I really enjoyed watching your video! Thank you for this journey 😊 May Gods guide and protect you on your path 🙏🍀
I think it went well well well beyond being discriminated against by the English on That end
I’m so proud to be from Ireland there is no love I feel in the world as I do for my country culture and people ❤
Great video. It was very strange that the Irish teacher taught you how to pronounce the words in English, rather than in Irish. She even mentioned that Brigid was more like "breej" in Irish. Banba should be pronounced more like "banva" and and Fodla is more like "Fow-la".
Yeah, I noticed that too... It's a shame. I'm a beginning Irish student, and the more I try to learn, the more I realise that the majority of online resources out there for learning are made by non-native speakers who haven't a clue how to pronounce the language properly (an obvious example being the ignoring of slender R). It's really frustrating. :(
@@rambleswolf I personally moved over to Scottish Gaelic to help with pronunciation, as the sounds are usually taught much more clearly and there are less non native resources. I'm now slowly moving back to Irish, and the first thing people mention is always how much my pronunciation sounds like "old people" or "country people". Grammar and vocab still have a long way to go though haha
@@tomasbyrom3954 Hey, I mean, "old country person" = native speaker, so I'd take it as a compliment :P
The pronunciation is different depending on the dialect....so it can be pronounced both those ways. There are so many layers to Irish, she didnt want to overwhelm
@@brid5415 As the words she mentioned came out of classical Irish, not the modern dialects, I thought there was a consensus on pronunciation. Can you explain what dialect she was using?
Great video! (Just for future pre-film checklists, make sure you, or your guests, dont have beads/lanyards/buttons etc close to the microphones!)
Haha trust me post filming Jacob learned this when I started editing 😂
Very interesting. I never felt ashamed or ambarrased about speaking Irish, it's just that it's not taught very well here, in my experience, anyway, & that a lot of kids felt we would never use it growing up. 5 or 6 times a week in a classrom is not enough.
Interesting that he said “for acknowledgement of the natural world” - a very modernistic and materialistic mode line of thought. The ancients would have not divorced the spiritual from the material world. In fact a hallmark of the ancient celts and early Christian celts was to see the material and the spiritual world’s as interwoven and touching. They believed in thin places where the door between the physical and spiritual world was thin. I believe Timothy Joyce described both the pre-Christian and early Christian celts as walking with one foot in a physical reality and the other foot in a state of spiritual consciousness (something like that, it’s been a minute since I read his book ‘Celtic Christianity’).
It is well known and documented that the Romans were observing the various celtic peoples as nature worshippers. The Celts didnt build structures like new grange, Stonehenge, or Kilmartin Scotland. They used natural spaces (water ways and groves) to connect to the otherworld. While they looked at places like new grange in reverence it was not because they built it, they saw it as divinely built. Nature was not their only outlet but it definitely not a "modernist" look at celtic paganism.
Colonisation indeed. No Leprechauns unfortunately
I'm moving back south of the border lads. I've had enough of all this fake life.
Going out to the hills and clean air. Learning to speak the language ( properly this time) and I'm gonna own every part of the mythology and mystery that people find " embarrassing"
What could be more embarrassing than believing in artificial intelligence?
Literally.
This fish, has shook the hook!

Any suggestions of a great app/program to learn the language?

Lots of tears as I watched this and I'm not 100% sure why. It was a beautiful video but the tears are more significant of something else. I have been told I'm part Irish and wonder if this is why? I feel a calling....
Time to return home 🍀
@@TheWisdomOfOdin Thanks 😊
Ireland says no to the demographic replacement. We will not be replaced.
Ctreepy?
No Gàidhlig na h-Alba
Do you know the difference between Ulster Scots {Scots Irish} immigration and Irish immigration and the impact on the US ? I don't think so. All those famous faces you showed of Irish descent , many if not most are descended from Scottish and English protestants from Northern Ireland.
I will look into it 👍
My ancient family are from the Ulsters, Erwin of Drum. Skal
@@TheWisdomOfOdin I am from NZ but as part of my genealogy research found that my people were mostly from the indigenous etho-religeous group known as the Gaelic people that is the Irish Catholic. Some of my ancestors were rebels are married the Scots settlers in Northern Ireland. Ireland really suffered under colonisation and so many of our Irish Catholic ancestors had to migrate (mine to NZ). I'm so proud that the Irish language survived. I'm also glad that so much paganism survived, often hidden in Catholism ❤❤❤
Shouldn't Irish adopt the Welsh language?
I cant tell if this is ignorance, or trolling 😂
Dwi'n siarad yn Gymraeg, dwi'n wrth fy modd'r defnydd o'r Gymraeg, dwi'n meddwl yn Gymraeg mae'n goleuo fy mywyd i gyd.
All the Celts in NZ - and was Gaelic offered as a language to learn? No. Only French or German. Very wrong.
@@twophotons I agree 👍
Ah ha ha ha! Ba haa ha ha ha!!
Ha ha ha! Ha lol ha! 😆
Our language is geadhlic not Celtic.
It belongs to the Q branch of the Celtic language family. So, it is a Celtic language. Just like mine which is Welsh.
@@leejames3148 Our language and text is Geadhlic. There no mention of Celtic in our Constitution of 1937.
@@seanirasach2512 I don’t doubt that is the case. However, linguistically speaking, Irish is a Celtic language of the Goidelic branch of insular Celtic languages.
@@leejames3148 It's not a true Celtic language. It's an Insular Bell Beaker language.
@@surfer-lc3nz another plausible theory 👏🏻
Do you realise that we aren't Celtic?
Never it's a dead language.
A few million people would disagree 😆
Unfortunately there is little point in teaching a foreign classroom version of Gaelic, in counties it did not originally originate from.
Ulster for example spoke Eastern Ulster Gaelic in the Eastern counties and Western Ulster Gaelic in the Western, but these dialects are not taught in either. What is currently taught is only a little better than teaching English, as it is not only classroom Gaelic, but also a foreign dialect, not culturally correct?
Eastern Ulster Gaelic has died out unfortunately, but efforts should be made for it to be reintroduced back into Northern Ireland, as it was native to Ulster, the West of Scotland and the Isle of Mann.
I don't think there is a shame in the Irish language, more than an irritant.
One of the most off-putting things about Irish-speakers is their insistence on correcting every little thing they perceive to be wrong.
Why shouldn't they, it's their language
Irish blood must be protected. There should be no outsiders in Ireland.
Good luck with your immigrant problem then!!
@@user-nq5zx1gr8i I'm not in Ireland
@@SeanThomasCross Then who exactly do you consider outsiders? My family have lived in the North for generations I don't consider myself an outsider I consider it as my home!
@@user-nq5zx1gr8i Ideally only people of the Irish ethnicity should be in Ireland. Most races have their own indigenous lands to call theirs except whites. But, most importantly is the recent invasion of outsiders who need to leave.
In your case, being so established and entrenched on the island its different. If only people like you were there the true Irish would remain the majority. But once the recent mass migration of outsiders begin reproducing the native Irish will become minorities in their native land, disenfranchising them and driving their rare genetic traits to extinction.
That is not okay and it is happening to all white nations by design right now.
@@user-nq5zx1gr8i Well I gave a full explanation, but jootube decided it wasn't allowed to be read.
