Today I bought a copy of Teach Yourself's "Irish Grammar" by Eamonn O'Donaill. I know I should have gone to the Daltai first, but I had no idea when I would next get to the mall. At fist glance, it seems quite useful. Has anyone else bought this book? Ceartaígí mo chuid Ghaeilge, le bhur dtoil!

I have it; it looks pretty good. It's written by the same fellow who did the "Now You're Talking" course. No relation to the Ó Sé & Shiels TYI course which gets mixed reviews here. The same gent is also working on a TY "Irish Conversation" title. http://www.gaeilge.org FRC - Fáilte Roimh Cheartúcháin

Not anymore for some reason. The release date has been put back on TY Irish Conversation and its credited authors are Dónall Mac Ruairí and Dr Máire Mhic Ruairí.. http://www.hoddereducation.co.uk/Title/0340906499/Teach_Yourself_Irish_Conversat ion.htm |

I think it's good reference; it's useful to have all the rules written out in a book with nothing in between. Go raibh maith agat! Ceartaígí mo chuid Ghaeilge, le bhur dtoil!

Another, more concise (user friendly) resource is Irish Grammar by Noel McGonagle. I have both and find McGonagle to be more convenient but admittedly sparse in some areas. Is minic a bhris beál duine a shrón.
