Pimsleur Irish Quick & Simple Course - Level 1 Lessons 1-8 CD: Learn to Speak and Understand Irish (Gaelic) with Pimsleur Language Programs | 
so-soNot a bad place to start. It‘s certainly the easiest source to find for learning the Irish language. My concern comes mostly from the sudden piling on of mostly new vocabulary at lesson 8, where all the other lessons added a limited amount of new information mixed in with review from the previous lessons. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 #Irish #IrishLanguage #AncestralLanguage
GingerAntics Also, the entire thing is dedicated to going to a pub and talking to someone for the first time, and how to respond to an invitation to their home within 10 minutes (something not likely to happen in real life). It is certainly more realistic than duolingo, but still not really useful beyond the first 5 or 6 lessons. 10mo
quietlycuriouskate One for my husband's radar: he's been learning Irish on Duolingo and complains about the nonsensical sentences it asks him to translate. 10mo
GingerAntics @kathedron this was definitely better, and I felt like I at least had a handle on actually saying something useful in Irish. It‘s a starting point for sure. I think the number one thing with this is you actually get human, native speakers of Irish. I‘ve recently found a few more beginner Irish audiobook/lessons, so I look forward to seeing how those expand my vocabulary, and hopefully he can find something he likes, too. 10mo
