WATCH: TikTok delighted by French dad's take on the Irish language
What was meant to be a sweet bedtime moment quickly turned into comedy gold, as the husband's valiant attempts at pronouncing words left native speakers both charmed and deeply confused.
From unexpected syllables to a cadence no Gaeilgeoir had ever heard before, the video has taken Irish TikTok by storm, leaving viewers torn between correcting him and begging for more.
TikToker @littlebookofkim, lovingly captioned the video: 'just walked in on my french husband reading to our baby in Irish with a very….original accent.'
The clip has already garnered over 80K views online, with many taking to the comment to revel in the hilarity.
'This is the opposite of ronan o'gara speaking french in the thickest cork accent ever lol,' one user joked. Many have referenced Ronan O'Gara's attempt at speaking French in a heavy Cork accent in the comments. Pic: INPHO/Dan Sheridan
'Tiocfaidh ár ooh lá lá,' another jested.
'Points for effort. Not a word did I get,' a third stressed.
While the francophone may get an A for effort, I don't see him presenting on TG4 any time soon!

Grammy nominated Irish artist RuthAnne has lifted the lid on her upcoming book, and why it's the perfect read for aspiring songwriters and musicians. The singer-songwriter is behind some of the biggest hits around, including; Britney Spears' Work B*tch; In the Name of Love by Bebe Rexha and Martin Garrix and Niall Horan's Slow Hands. RuthAnne is also a singer in her own right, with her song The Vow, having a number of viral moments of video-sharing platform, TikTok.

Pic: GMCD On Wednesday, the Dublin native is hosting a one-hour live stream alongside KiD RAiN via TikTok where she will give budding songwriters a glimpse inside the mechanics of creating a song. Speaking about the initiative, which is part of TikTok's Summer Skills campaign, RuthAnne said she also loved helping the next generation. 'Anyway I can help with that I love to do it,' she told 'I love helping young creatives.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by RuthAnne (@thisisruthanne) The live-stream comes following a new platform, TikTok for Artists, which gives artists and their teams insight into how their music is performing on the app. With The Vow, going viral time and again on the app, she admitted it was 'an amazing marketing tool.' The song is regularly used over videos of pregnancies; birth announcements; engagements and weddings. In 2023, RuthAnne sang The Vow in Ibiza when Tommy Fury proposed to his Love Island partner, Molly Mae Hague.

'Every artist understands how massive the influence TikTok can have and the impact that a song going viral can have,' she said, 'Anyone who wants to be in music would be a fool for not putting your music there.' Following on from the TikTok masterclass, RuthAnne advised aspiring songwriters to pre-order her book. @thisisruthanne Two months til my album is yours ❤️ #newmusic #songofthesummer #songwriter #singer #album ♬ original sound – RuthAnne 'It's the book that I wish I had,' she told 'It's the book that I had to go through the industry for the last two decades in order to gather up this knowledge and I feel like literally anything I say in the book, no matter what level of songwriting or creating you're at, my book goes into every single thing that you need to know about writing hit songs. She added that the book delves into the importance of honing your song-writing skills so when an opportunity comes up 'you can take them and run with them.' While RuthAnne is looking forward to the release of her debut book, she is also counting down the days until her debut album, which is set for release on October 15. 'I'm really excited,' RuthAnne gushed, 'I'm dropping a new song every four weeks [and] I'm doing a headline show at Sugarclub on October 15.' 'I do have songs coming out with other artists but I can't reveal them yet; I can never reveal that before the artist does,' she teased. RuthAnne will be going live on her TikTok account from 5pm to 6pm on Wednesday, August 20 for a free songwriting skills masterclass with KiD RAiN.
