Learn Irish-Lesson 1 Pronunciation 1 (Vowels)

Welcome to my series of lessons on learning the Irish language. In this first lesson we learn how to pronounce the various vowel sounds in the Irish language.

Irish is a language native to and spoken on the island of Ireland. It is still a living language for many people in Ireland, particularly on the far west of the country. This is despite the fact that English is spoken by the majority, mainly due to a large number of historical, and often politically sensitive reasons.

After being described as a dying language, in more recent years, the language has seen a bit of a revival, particularly among younger people and people in urban environments. Promotion of Irish language events such as Pop-Up Gaeltachts (Irish speaking areas) and Seachtain na Gaeilge has seen more people trying to speak at least a few words of Irish each day. It has also become popular outside of Ireland among the many people of Irish descent trying to get in touch with their own personal links to Ireland.

Whatever your reasons for wanting to learn it, it is an incredibly beautiful language and one that should not be allowed to die out.

I hope that these videos will help you to learn a bit of the language and feel more confident having conversations in Irish.

Let's get started!
