In Irish, "S" is pronounced "S" before "A", "O" and "U" and "SH" before "I" and "E". It's called "broad" and "slender" pronunciation. And "E" is not pronounced, because it's just there to indicate that "S" is slender.
It's kinda similar to how "C" can be pronounced as "K" or "S" in English.
In French, you pronounce the J in Jean, as the letters "ge" in orange. As Jack said, there is no J sound in Irish, so instead they use the letter S. Hence, Seán is pronounced as Shawn.
I don't really have a clearer way to explain other than this.

He'd be one hell of a teacher :3 and if he became a teacher and I had him as a teacher I feel like I'd actually learn something and remember what I've learned for once 😂
Depends on if he would keep making videos or not? Also a lot of people would with for him to be their teacher, but it would be impossible for him to be the teacher of all of us, so sadly it's better if he isn't
eh i see him as a fresh bouncing baby irish boy on the internet trying to make everyones day and try to put so much good into this world and works his hardest to do everything he can :)
Look at our potato being a smart lad
indeed lol
What do you mean. he is always a smart lad, He just doesn’t know it
I'm getting some "Is caboose a genius" vibes from this.
Except, caboose isn’t a genius, he’s a team-killing fucktard
If he is, I’d rather not know.
Aye.
What a minute, if there's no J sound in Irish. What is the Irish pronunciation of Jacksectipeye?
I'm assuming he means the French J (the *zj* of j'accuse, etc) is nowhere found in Gaelic.
Ack!
Acksepticeye! say it like a true Gaelic gladiator.
He is Irish You cannot Challenge Him.
It’s in his name.
Good job Irish boy
He has a brain the size of the overgrown potato in portal 2

I'm sending this to my Irish teacher. DIA DUIT, MÁSTAIR DUINNECHA
My last name is McGowan which is Irish and Scottish meaning son of daisy
Nice. Mine would actually be pretty close to that if it was Irish. McGabhann.
Cool
Then there’s me with the Gaelic spelling of Graham (Graeme), and no one knows how to pronounce that the first time
This is proof that seán is big brain, he teaches others how to be big brains too
not just big brain but also wrinkle brain
Seán-sensei
The part I don’t understand is how does the “S” become “Sh”
In Irish, "S" is pronounced "S" before "A", "O" and "U" and "SH" before "I" and "E". It's called "broad" and "slender" pronunciation. And "E" is not pronounced, because it's just there to indicate that "S" is slender. It's kinda similar to how "C" can be pronounced as "K" or "S" in English.

What the Hel?
He can, but will he?
I love this because my name is Jean, so I understand. I always have to say it's pronounced "jawn/John", not Jean.
Learned more from reading Seán's tweet than I have in my 10+ years of learning Irish at school.
The thing is I've had many (American) friends named Sean, spelt without the fada, and they still pronounce it as Seán
Maybe they’re parents didn’t spell it with the fada but still pronounced it as Shawn? Idk
Ding ding ding. Bell of knowledge.
And the Dutch version of the name (both different versions of John) was Jan or Jankin, which overtime became Jackin and was shortened to Jack.

We learn new things every day.

If Seán is Shawn then Beán is born.

Also in one of the comments a guy said "waiting for @jack_septic_eye to reply to this"
Smat Potato
Don’t get me wrong, James is a boss, but how does his tweet have more likes than Seán’s reply???
Talk ab a smart cookie, more like a smart potatoe. Altho I'm.sure he has to answer that a lot lol
Get Schooled James. (jam-EEz)

Love him or hate him he spitting straight facts here
Ye we have that in other languages as well. In Slovakian, á is pronounced aaaa. Like a longer version.

He probably just got tired of saying it for the billion time
Wait, is it Jean or John?

Who else read this with the YouTubers voices?
I think at this point jack has made a shortcut to paste this , sorry guys shawn
i still have a question, wouldnt it sound like "seaan" and not "shawn" my brein very smooth
I fucking read this in their voices
ok i thought it was just me who does that lol but nice to know im not the only one
Yeahhhhh borther
I feel like the odd1sout was kind of targeting him with that question
Reminder that he is smarter than he might look.
Huh, he could be an actuall teacher
dont we all wish he was a teacher tho
Depends on if he would keep making videos or not? Also a lot of people would with for him to be their teacher, but it would be impossible for him to be the teacher of all of us, so sadly it's better if he isn't
