What if you could keep learning Irish when you’re not online?
When you want to put your head down and learn Irish, you should come to Bitesize Irish Gaelic and take our online Irish course with interactive audio lessons.
The limitation is, you need to be in front of your computer, iPhone, iPad, or Android device to be using Bitesize Irish Gaelic lessons.
In many ways, this is a good thing. Learning language is hard, and it’s hard to keep going. For active learning, you should be concentrating as much as possible oo the lesson in front of you. Click on a phrase to listen to it as many times as you like until you’re comfortable with it.
(Update: Pre-orders are no longer available, as of Monday April 23rd 2012.)
But what happens when you can’t learn at your computer?
It’s not always possible to use online lessons to learn Irish, right?
What if you really want to keep learning Ireland’s native language, but you’re on the move?
What if you’re driving?
What if you’re working out in the gym?

Following all your great feedback, I took the Bitesize Irish Gaelic lesson “Greetings and Introductions 1”.

Thank you for this website and showing us Irish grammar. Irish is a very interesting language.
Go raibth maith agat, Eoin! I love, love, love your audio. I started with Rosetta and am continuing with it but I walk with you. When I finish level 1 (it’s an ocd thing), I will definately become a full-time bitesize gal. Now, when can we expect another round of audio 🙂 You keep me energized to continue on. Le do thoil, more, more, more!
Hi Gina, I really appreciate the feedback. I think I’ll have to record more, eh?
This is a very good idea! I like the lessons on my computer, and you seem very personable in the recordings.
Nice feedback, thanks Arlene.
I love the format of your lessons and have wanted whole recorded lessons for a while. I have some mp3 lessons from other sites, but I have found them to be more difficult to follow. Your first complete recorded lesson is so clear and easy to follow. 🙂 Most of the recordings I’ve been using are Ulster as well. So it will be nice to have yours to listen to all the time too. Thanks!
Thanks, Joanna. We’ll make sure to concentrate on making the sound clear. That’s not always an easy thing to accomplish, so it will be something we’ll be looking at improving more.
Go raibth maith agat, Eoin! 🙂 this is great im past a beginner i think but im very vocal so i LOVED this idea!! I recently was in Dallas for an irish immersion weekend to be able to SPEAK with others and just learn different dialects! It was great! But i learned so much listening more then tests over and over ha! once again thanks!!
That’s really cool attending an Irish immersion deireadh seachtaine. About how many people attended? It sounds like you got good use out of attending?
This is a wonderful idea,i’m also learning Ulster on the side so i can have a mesh of two dialects and they’re only audio. what’s great is i listen to them while doing the dishes so having the munster dialect on audio would just be that much better.
Hopefully it takes off
Have fun and good luck 🙂
Brandon
Let’s hope it does! Thanks for people’s interest so far. What’s the audio package you listen to with the Ulster dialect?
