I haven't seen this one (of course) but I've seen a few other Teach Yourself [Language] Conversation. Based on those, I would not recommend this to anyone. |

Ordinarily I would agree wholeheartedly with Jonas - the Teach Yourself Irish course seems almost deliberately designed to thwart one's success. (The T.Y.Irish Grammar is marginally better). However, since this appears to be an audio only course, it may be worth checking out. Sounds like a variation on the Pimsleur method. |

What's wrong with TYI grammar? As far as I can see, its only a reference book, not a training manual |

Well, it has exercies for each unit BRN. So a bit of training intended, I think. Coimhéad fearg fhear na foighde.
