I thought it might be useful to add this thread for discussion of the Gaelic languages; either considered separately or in relation to the Brythonic languages that are already part of of the SSI courses available. This arose from a discussion with another member who had a strong interest in Irish and it seemed that it might be best to devote a new thread to this.

In terms of SSi and the Celtic languages, they are all very close to our heart - we’re currently working with some of the good folk on the Isle of Man to build SSiManx, and we’re hoping that Irish and Scottish will be in the pipeline once we’ve got signs that the Manx is coming along well…

Helo everyone,
That would be so great!! I am also looking for a good Irish language course. I started the Pimsleur one on audible, but unfortunately it consists of only 10 levels!!!
If anybody knows of a good ressource for studying Irish, I would be grateful for any recomendations!!!
And happy St Patrick’s day!

There’s a Now you’re talking series of video lessons available on youtube for the Ulster dialect. And for Welsh, too. They are very sweet:)
Happy St Patrick’s day to you too!
I find it so very funny.
“Here. They will teach you Irish for the price 500 euro, and the accent for 200”.

VERY funny… And echoes of what I said in another message to you about people saying “at least you haven’t lost your accent”. Good to know I could just buy one

Duolingo do an Irish course. It doesn’t have the same approach at all of SSi but might be worth looking at until an SSiIrish course gets going?

Gaeilge gan Stró! also seems to be a very nice course - if you manage to find it with a CD (I think it’s available on Amazon). I have only the text, which is not very useful without the audio, since it’s a communicative course (a learning partner who could work with you would also be a very good idea).
If you need some reading practice write me a private message and I can send you a book - the comments are in Russian but the texts are really quite easy to understand, especially those at the beginning of the book.
