quite good

really enjoyed this. I was starting to understand the phrases without even realising and surprising myself when I knew what to say before being prompted. I can't wait to start the next unit.

I'm Irish the Irish is accurate

I have enough basic Irish to know that the Irish is accurate (if that's a concern for anyone).
It is very repetitive but most people will expect that going into a language learning audiobook but it's necessary repetition. This phase \ unit teaches you all the variations on two sentences. I'm very pleased and will be continuing on with these audiobooks to improve and develop my spoken Irish skills! Highly recommend it for anyone wishing to learn to speak irish!
