Irish and English are the official languages of Ireland. The three major dialects of Irish are: Connemara (in the west of Ireland and around the city of Galway), Munster (spoken in Counties Kerry and Cork), and Ulster (spoken in County Donegal). Pimsleur's Irish teaches the Munster dialect.
Irish Phase 1, Units 1-10 provide an introduction to Irish with 10 thirty-minute lessons . With this product you start from zero, learning first survival phrases and vocabulary, then progressing to speaking and understanding at a functional level. Every lesson contains an introductory conversation, and isolated vocabulary and structures, as well as full practice for all vocabulary introduced. Emphasis on pronunciation and comprehension. At the completion of this course, you’ll have a basic vocabulary and speak with a near-native accent. This course provides you with a solid foundation upon which to expand your language skills. Culture Notes are provided to give you further insight into the Irish language and culture. A Notes booklet is also included in PDF format.
Pimsleur® equals success. Just one 30-minute lesson a day gets you speaking and understanding like no other program.

Comments about Irish Phase 1, Units 1-10:
Even though I used my particular product as a refresher, this method works really well, and has the least impact on a busy schedule. Unforunately, 10 lessons are all that is available for my particular choice. It got me back on track with pronounciation and the basics within a month, however. Very effective.

Comments about Irish, Compact:
Oh, we thought we were hot stuff doing the first lesson! It was so easy and fun!! Then, we went to the second lesson. All we could do was laugh. We messed up so much. There is no way we could follow the language. Not to dispair...we are not quitters! It may take us a year, but we WILL speak Irish!

Comments about Irish, Compact:
I use it every day, it's nice and easy because they repeat it over and over so that it sticks firmly in your mind. I'll even play it when I sleep.
