If you’re not sharing “Dia dhuit” on Twitter and Facebook every morning, why not? What’s holding you back? You can have a bit of fun and be creative.
There’s no “x” in the Irish language alphabet… but in the following TEDx video, you’ll hear:
- It’s a myth that the Irish language is dead
- Irish speakers are being creative on social media platforms, like shortening words and breaking grammar rules
- This new version of Irish is a more accessible version, open to a wider audience
- So don’t worry about making a mistake, because who cares.
Here’s the TEDx video:
The speaker is Dr. Teresa Lynn, who worked with Prof Kevin Scannell, who was a past guest on the Bitesize Irish Gaelic Podcast.

Is breá liom an scanánn beag seo a cairde!. Tá an Ghaeilge beo go cinnte! Bím ag éisteach leis Gaeilge gach lá, ar on Raidió na Gaeltachta, TG4, ag mo ghrúpa comhrá Gaeilge i mBrisbane, agus le mo chairde ar on Skype/FB go minic ????????????????
Go raibh maith agat as do thrácht, a chara! Is cinnte go bhfuil an Ghaeilge beo!
