Wow, there's a lot on this list that I haven't heard of, go raibh maith agat. Especially how to use those abair, teanglann, focloir sites better, that was very useful. It's good to understand just to keep using these resources and you eventually build up the ability. Am looking forward to understanding programmes as gaeilge. Great topic.

I am owner of two Linguaphone Irish Courses: one is the 1929 edition (3 booklets and 16 78 rpm records), the other is the 1974 edition (two books and 4 cassette tapes), Progress in Irish, Learning Irish (book + 4 cassette tapes) from the Yale University Press, Teach Yourself Irish old edition (book an two 33 rpm records from Gael Linn).
Do you know this works?

I have as well the TYB new edition (book + CD's), and an Irish Gaelic grammar in Italian language.

I found a nice resource called "All about Irish" the newsletter has some fun stuff like tongue twisters and great explanations.

I just started using Mango a few days ago. I love it already.
I didn't know Drops added Irish! 😮 I have Drops!
This was SUPER helpful! I'm always looking for new ways to learn. Go raibh míle maith agat!

[laochdé]

So nice to hear you talk the native language. I am motivated to pick up where I left off in 3rd year 👍 Go raibh maith agat!

[moonchild]

Thank you so much for this extensive list of sources!

[portesduverseau]

I love so much irish language, even if as a French man the prononciation is a real challenge ! 😄Thanks so much for your work, it changes from Duolingo 😁

[Korva_Avia]

Hi, I'm so excited to learn my language!

[geomorph]

Go raibh maith agat!! Been trying to find a list like this for ages!!

Now you're talking is very good. I am at lesson 25 now and would recommend beginners I would also recommend the short courses run by Radio Uladh (An Blas) a few years back. If you can get them still that is? 1) Giota Beag 2) Giota Beag Eile agus Giota Nios

I'm hitting the end of what Duolingo can teach me and I'm ready to step it up to the next level where can I go next?

HELLO MOLLY, I AM THINKING OF JOINING YOUR THU/SAT ZOOM PACKAGE - A QUESTION: WHAT TIME DO YOU DO YOUR ZOOM CALLS ON EITHER THURSDAYS OR SATURDAYS? DO WE GET A CHANCE TO CHOOSE EITHER THU OR SAT?

How common is mixing dialects? Since there are some good resources for the three main dialects, could someone use them all and mix the dialects together in speech, or is the frowned upon? I'm American and have just started learning Irish a month or so ago and have inadvertently been mixing dialects so I would like to know if I should just focus on one or try to meld them together and hope for the best.

[factitiously]

Is there a list anywhere of the YouTube channels and Instagram accounts that she recommends?

cén fáth a bhfuilim ag féachaint ar an gcainéal seo? Tá rud agam le haghaidh redheads na hÉireann😊

[McKorosh]

You are a saint, go raibh maith agat! 🎉

[AoibhinDoherty]

An bhfuil an cúrsa ar Mango saor in aisce? Ceapaim go mbainfinn sult as!

Hi,

I don’t if you have discovered this yet… but you know the new AI language model called ChatGPT?

Well it’s an excellent Irish tutor

You can more or less ask it any Irish question and it will answer it really well.

I am reading a short stories Irish book for beginners and there are often times when I don’t understand why some words change, and also why certain word orders are used or any other random rules

Often I would get confused by all these and I’d have to wait to see a Gaelgor in person to ask them about these rules

But with ChatGPT I can ask as many questions as I’d like and it’s fantastic

Honestly it’s a game changer

I would highly recommend doing a video on it as it really will change tutoring for languages

[jwmulligan]

I did try "Drops" but I just found it to be annoying. As you mentioned that "Now You Are Talking" is dated but very informative if your interest is in Ulster Irish.
