Wow, there's a lot on this list that I haven't heard of, go raibh maith agat. Especially how to use those abair, teanglann, focloir sites better, that was very useful. It's good to understand just to keep using these resources and you eventually build up the ability. Am looking forward to understanding programmes as gaeilge. Great topic.

Go ndéana a mhaith duit! 🥰 very glad you liked it!
I just started using Mango a few days ago. I love it already. I didn't know Drops added Irish! 😮 I have Drops! This was SUPER helpful! I'm always looking for new ways to learn. Go raibh míle maith agat!
I love so much irish language, even if as a French man the prononciation is a real challenge ! 😄Thanks so much for your work, it changes from Duolingo 😁
I am owner of two Linguaphone Irish Courses: one is the 1929 edition (3 booklets and 16 78 rpm records), the other is the 1974 edition (two books and 4 cassette tapes), Progress in Irish, Learning Irish (book + 4 cassette tapes) from the Yale University Press, Teach Yourself Irish old edition (book an two 33 rpm records from Gael Linn). Do you know this works? I have as well the TYB new edition (book + CD's), and an Irish Gaelic grammar in Italian language.
Now you're talking is very good. I am at lesson 25 now and would recommend also........For beginners I would also recommend the short courses run by Radio Uladh (An Blas) a few years back. If you can get them still that is? 1) Giota Beag 2) Giota Beag Eile agus Giota Nios mo........Daithi
Eolas thar a bheith úsáideach! Maith thú! Ós rud é go raibh tú ag caint ar acmhainní foghlama, is fiú leabhar álainn a lua anseo, is é sin, A Grammar of Modern Irish. Tá sé ar díol sa Siopa Gaeilge agus i siopaí leabhar ar fud an oileáin.
Hi, I don’t if you have discovered this yet… but you know the new AI language model called ChatGPT? Well it’s an excellent Irish tutor You can more or less ask it any Irish question and it will answer it really well. I am reading a short stories Irish book for beginners and there are often times when I don’t understand why some words change, and also why certain word orders are used or any other random rules Often I would get confused by all these and I’d have to wait to see a Gaelgor in person to ask them about these rules But with ChatGPT I can ask as many questions as I’d like and it’s fantastic Honestly it’s a game changer I would highly recommend doing a video on it as it really will change tutoring for languages
yep i've been using it over the past two weeks. i asked molly to do a review on it. it's not perfect and it makes a few mistakes but you can correct it and it will correct its self after. it is brilliant tho even with the mistakes it makes and the more people use if for gaelic the better it will become.
HELLO MOLLY, I AM THINKING OF JOINING YOUR THU/SAT ZOOM PACKAGE - A QUESTION: WHAT TIME DO YOU DO YOUR ZOOM CALLS ON EITHER THURSDAYS OR SATURDAYS? DO WE GET A CHANCE TO CHOOSE EITHER THU OR SAT?
I did try "Drops" but I just found it to be annoying. As you mentioned that "Now You Are Talking" is dated but very informative if your interest is in Ulster Irish.
How common is mixing dialects? Since there are some good resources for the three main dialects, could someone use them all and mix the dialects together in speech, or is the frowned upon? I'm American and have just started learning Irish a month or so ago and have inadvertently been mixing dialects so I would like to know if I should just focus on one or try to meld them together and hope for the best.

I think it’s natural to have a bit of a mixture especially when starting out. Some people will tell you shouldn’t do that and that you should stick rigidly to one dialect but I think it’s an advantage to familiarise yourself with the different dialects even if it means mixing them a little 😊
@@hoo-ra-ah Irish people seem to be quite offended when Americans of Irish descent vocalize that they are Irish descent, so I wasn’t sure if learning Irish would be seen as another American “taking” or “claiming” something that isn’t theirs.
@@michaellancaster8221 it's a bit different with the irish language, i think, because we *need* people to learn it no matter where they're from in order to keep it alive. i think it's great when americans learn it (some of the most fluent speakers ive seen have been americans), i just wish actual irish people would have the same energy. i've never heard of an irish person being offended by americans learning irish, so i'd say you're good to go
I hope some of those resources have phonetic spellings - otherwise they will be useless.

As I mentioned there is abair.ie if you’re not sure how to pronounce something. Most resources come with the sound which you can then base your own phonetic spelling on. It might take a bit more work on your part but that doesn’t deem them useless.
Irish spelling is phonetic. There are a lot of multi-vowel combinations to learn, but not as many as in English. And there are a few exceptions where the word pronunciation shifted recently. Irish spelling was re-standardized in the middle of the 20th century, so words are mostly spelled the way they are pronounced. It is much easier to learn Irish orthography than it is to try to understand which dialect of English someone is trying to use to describe how a word would sound using English spelling. And almost all online resources have recordings, which is more useful than any spelling system.
Go raibh maith agat Molly. Nior chuala mé faoi Mango (An App, ní an torthaí :-)), nó Drops nó Readlang. Amharcfaidh mé ar examinations.ie agus triailfidh mé scrúdú amhain go luath. GRMA arís.

I found a nice resource called "All about Irish" the newsletter has some fun stuff like tongue twisters and great explanations.

I'm hitting the end of what Duolingo can teach me and I'm ready to step it up to the next level where can I go next?

An bhfuil an cúrsa ar Mango saor in aisce? Ceapaim go mbainfinn sult as!
Tá!
Is there a list anywhere of the UA-cam channels and Instagram accounts that she recommends?
Nár canadh Gaeilge ar dtús? Is cosúil gur cuimhin liom go raibh sé .... mar a bhí san am ársa
What do Irish people think about Americans learning Irish? Are they ok with it or do they find it offensive?
why would it be offensive?
@@hoo-ra-ah Irish people seem to be quite offended when Americans of Irish descent vocalize that they are Irish descent, so I wasn’t sure if learning Irish would be seen as another American “taking” or “claiming” something that isn’t theirs.

cén fáth a bhfuilim ag féachaint ar an gcainéal seo? Tá rud agam le haghaidh redheads na hÉireann😊

Not needed as no one ever learned a language reading phonetics. You learn it be listening to input.
