Happy St. Patrick's day!! :D
I really wanted to share some Irish culture with the world, since around St. Patrick's day we have Seachtain / Lá na Gaeilge for promoting the Irish language. So I made a short and silly (hey, silly works on the Internet!) video about the Irish language. The video has full commentary entirely in French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Esperanto, English and of course Irish. You can see it on my language learning site. I hope people enjoy it!! :) Edited by irishpolyglot on 17 March 2010 at 7:41pm 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

I have just transferred your interesting post to the polyglot subforum. What a nice idea to present the Irish language multilingually in 6 languages with subtitles! I find this very creative. I am sure that many other forum members here will be interested in watching this presentation. May I ask you, which kind of holiday "St. Patrick's day" is? If you give a short definition, it would be sufficient for me. Fasulye Edited by Fasulye on 17 March 2010 at 8:15pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

OK, sorry about the forum mix-up ;)
St. Patrick's day is one of the biggest holidays in Ireland to celebrate our Patron Saint. It has become a worldwide festival for people with Irish roots, and is also very popular in the states, Canada, Australia etc. (English speaking countries) Glad you enjoyed the idea! Hope other polyglots like it! I have made quite a few videos like that, I think it's a nice change from what a lot of other youtube polyglots seem to do of just talking to the camera for 10 minutes. I genuinely want Spanish, Italian etc. speakers to learn something about Ireland! All my vidoes are on irishpolyglot.com in several languages 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Thanks for explaining the meaning of St Patrick's day to me. Your recordings are interesting for me, because I myself speak English, French, Spanish, Italian, Esperanto and I can understand (but not speak) a bit of Portuguese. So we have a certain match of our polyglot repertoire of languages. On You Tube I liked recording interviews, but therefore you need a partner who has enough language abilities to ask the questions and it's a big lot of preparation work - I can tell you - to invent all the questions and answers in advance.

Thanks Fasulye ;) You'll be glad to hear that German is my next language!!
Not sure if you had a look around my site, but I have crazy missions to learn languages to fluency in just 3 months (I have a very social method to achieve it that I blog about). If you are in Berlin over the next 3 months (I get there in 2 weeks), I'd be happy to meet up and we can record a heptalingual interview! :D 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I just thought of asking you, whether you are now studying German...:-). I don't know, whether Irish has a case system, but some people having a native language without cases - like English or Dutch - find the German case system a bit tricky.
Meanwhile I have listened to your video in English, French, Italian, Spanish, French, Esperanto - I understand 100 % of these languages - and in Portuguese - I understand parts of it - and what strikes me is your excellent pronounciation in all of the languages. I find this impressive! My conditions of language learning are different - I live in poverty circumstances without native speaker contacts (besides Dutch) and without travel (besides to the Netherlands), so my pronounciation is of course less nativelike - due to my personal circumstances. Recording a language interview with two people speaking 7 languages would be extraordinary, but - it is as it is - I financially cannot afford any travel (Living in NRW).

I'd be up for that, but I only match 5 of your languages. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

haha hey Judith! Small world :D
OK, give me a few weeks so I can bring my German up to sniff and I'd be glad to! You can also compare various stages over next months and see if I'm successful in my ridiculous "convince Berliners that I'm a Berliner" no-accent mission :D I can't wait for this, I've been speaking WAY too much English this year because of Thailand, very unlike me!! 1 person has voted this message useful |
