Is there anyone here learning Irish at beginning / intermediate level who would recommend learning material please? - - - - - - - - Tá's agam gur iarr daoine éagsúla moladh ó na daoine anseo do leabhar foghlamtha ach tá cabhair uaim. Tá cara liom ag foghlaim na Gaeilge arís. Rinne sé an Ghaeilge mar ábhar sa scoil in Iúr cinn trá go dtí an g-leibhéal. Ach tá an mhór-chuid de sin caillte aige. Níl spéis aige sa litríocht nó sa ghramadach, b'fhearr leis an chaint. Mar sin, bhfuil cúrsa/leabhar/diosca ann a oirfeadh leis? 'Bhfuil níos fearr ná Turas Teanga ann? An cineál 'repeat after me' iad dioscaí Turas Teanga? Bhéinn fíorbhuíoch as ucht moladh ar bith. Maith agaibh. A people without a language of its own is only half a nation.A nation should guard its language more than its territories, 'tis a surer barrier and a more important frontier than mountain or river

Also ... sorry, it's late and I'm lazy, so it's as Bearla anois ... Turas Teanga is absolutely not of the "repeat after me" variety. It's a wonderful program, I think, but it's more suited to those who have a reasonably firm foundation in the language, not beginners or even intermediates. It could be intimidating or frustrating. |

Not really sure what you wrote Dohmnaill i nGaeilge ach Is maith liom "Buntus Cainte" in conjunction with a grammar book like "Progress in Irish" I disliked Buntus at first but now I find good use in it while driving around. I pop in the cd, and listen for a few minutes every day. I can almost learn a chapter a day that way. Chapters are short in the book and each CD chapter section lasts about a minute and a half. there is even a section at the end of each chapter where two people have a conversation at what appears to be normal speed which makes it a bit more challenging but after a while you get to pick out what they are saying. If anyone has had some school Irish then Buntus would be a great review or a great way to pick up new words and phrases. If your friend (i think that's what you were saying) needs a bit more structure then a book like Progress would help with grammar because Buntus does not provide grammar rules, instead gets a person hearing the sounds and learning words, phrases, sentences without the rules. the two books work well together in my opinion. a person can learn new things every day by listening to the Buntus Cd in the car (or whereever) and working with the book for even 10 minutes or less (minimal case scenario) that's just my experience at this stage in the game. hope I am answering what you were asking.

B'fhiú sracfhéachaint a thabhairt ar an tsraith Draíocht. Úsáidtear í sa mheánscoil i gcóras oideachais an deiscirt. Tagann dlúthdhiosca leis na leabhair. (Message edited by ormondo on December 06, 2008) Is geal leis an bhfiach dubh a ghearrcach féin.

Seidh, faghann tú do chuid leabharthach cupla lá i ndiaidh duit iad a dh'ordú. Nuair a ordam rud ineacht bhuafa, fagham é níos gaiste ná rud ineacht a d'ordóchainn ó shuíomh Fhrancach leabharthach...
