Bróm orm faoi mo Ghaelinn. Tá ceist beag agam daoibh. Nílim ag caint an dteanga ach deich nó dó dheag bhliana ó shin.

Cé mhéad daoine ag féachaint ar TG4.tv? Feach mé é cúpla clár gach lá. Is serbhís go hiontach é agus saoir freisin. Tá suil agam go bhfuil TG4 coinnigh an serbhís nios mó blianna romhat.

Gabh mo leiscéal faoi mo theanga arís. Is fear liom déan iarracht leis an ghaeilge nar níl usaide sí chor ar bith!

Bím ag éistach RnaG gach lá i mo ghluastáin agus pickáil mé suas cúpla focail anois is arís.

I think Irish people are scared to speak broken Irish. They learn so much in school but are afraid to use it.. then their brain quickly dismisses what they learnt.

My Irish is rubbish but I know about as much as the average Irish person in their 20s. Is mor an trua é.

Dia libh

"I think Irish people are scared to speak broken Irish."

How true, I am one of them. I am particulalry reticent about conversing with those who are fluent.

However there is hope! My Irish is very rusty but since I joined this board I have not just improved it, but feel more confident in writing in Irish - even gramatically incorrect Irish.

The contributors here are very supportive and courteous. If you write in Irish, you will generally not be corrected unless you invite correction (usually by putting FRC - Failte roimh ceartúcháin at the end of your post)

Cé nach bfhuil do chuid Gaeilge usáidte agat le tamaill ó shin, tá a lán Gaeilge agat fós. Déan cleachtadh uirthi agus tiocfaidh si i bfheabhas

Bhuel a chara! Déanann tú iarracht, sin go leor! Da mba rud é go ndéanfadh cách in eirinn é sin bheadh cursaí teanga go breá sa tír!

Rinne mé cuardach google ar tg4 agus deirtear go mbíonn beagnach 800000 ag féachaint uirthi gach lá.

Tá freagra le do cheist ar tg4.ie áit éigin! Market share and all that craic!

Can I interject before the navel gazing goes too far?

Simple facts:

A) Irish perople are native English speakers, so can't speak Irish

B) Confounding i) nationality and ii) native language does not mean one can speak a particular language

C) The majority don't care as the native speaker cohort is too small to force the issue, and so the tipping point is in the distance, far far away

D) People are uncomfortable, not scared. Scared would be if you were 20, from Conemara, trying to find work in England, no English at all. Speakers of the dominant language are rather, 'uncomfortable' as lingering confounds of B) above still have a little bite, due to schooling and nationality. Remember Eugene O'Growney? Grew up in Meath, but didn't even know there was another language than Irish till he left home. He had no shame when young.

E) Irish people know they are somewhat of a odd ball in Europe -orignal population, foreign language, so there is some shame in it.


Just accept history for what it is and find someone else to talk to who shares your hobbies. A lot of people who speak Irish are lonely, or going through a hard patch, so just need some sort of consolation.

~ Please don't anyone address this sligo chap ~

It will only lead to a bitchy fight, people leaving the forum and caomhín closing the thread.

A BhRN, If you should end up obtaining a time machine and in your travels running across this young man from Conamara you mention, send him my way. :) He sounds very attractive :)

Bheul nílim cinnte faoi sin. Is diúltach thú leis an dteanga agus níl a fhios agam cén fath tusa ag seoladh teachtarachtaí diúltach ar an suiomh seo. Ceapim go bhfuil bosca bruscar mór ag teach amach as do bhéal.
