What it actually is

Material made for children in gaelscoileanna, which turns out to suit adult beginners for the same reason: everything is concrete, slowly spoken and repeated. Not aimed at you, and that is fine — treat it as free comprehensible input at a level almost nothing else in Irish provides.

What it covers

  • Listening
  • Vocabulary

How it teaches

  • Comprehensible Input — Acquire a language by understanding lots of messages slightly above your level, rather than by studying rules.
