Reseñas de la Crítica

"Pimsleur programs provide plenty of positive reinforcement that will keep learners on track, and we found that Pimsleur gave us more proficiency and confidence in speaking the new language than any of the other language programs we reviewed." ( AudioFile magazine)

Good Introduction to Irish

Any additional comments?

First 15:50 minutes tell a little bit about the author and how the course works and what you will get out of it. After that, it begins to teach you a few words and phrases in Irish. :) Definitely worth checking out!

Good Starting Point

Good starting point to see if you're serious about learning a new language or two

Gaelic

I spoke fluent Gaelic up to about 9 years old, I am ashamed to say I am struggling at 67. I do think the course could be structured a bit differently, but sounds rather than letters are important in Gaelic, but I will keep banging away at lesson 1. lol

good intro lesson

this is a good intro lesson program. This is the first language lesson. that stumped me longer than other languages I did lessons by audio book. This is by no fault of Pimselur but maybe for some languages it would be helpful to have a better way to teach the beginning sounds of words. It took me till the end to be able to get the sound of the front of words for this Gaelic lesson. it was very hard to hear the tongue and lip placements. Maybe by breaking the words down more by pronouncing all the words by syllable for the intro lesson can help

Entertaining

definitely not ready to start any conversations but it's been interesting trying to learn something new
