Summary
This is Lesson 1 (of 9) of the Foundation Irish course.
Looking for a beginner language course that fits into your busy lifestyle and gets you speaking a new language in a matter of weeks, not years? Michel Thomas's unique method is designed to overcome the frustrations usually faced by language learners so you can...
- Pick up Irish naturally and unforgettably without strain or stress
- Learn from listening and speaking, without the pressure of writing or memorizing
- Build up your Irish in manageable steps by thinking out answers for yourself
For 50 years, Michel Thomas worked on decoding languages into their most essential component parts. These 'building blocks' are introduced sequentially so that you reconstruct the language for yourself - to form your own sentences, to say what you want, when you want. Within the very first hour you will be able to generate complete sentences instinctively, having absorbed the language and grammatical structures.
You will learn at your own pace, pausing and responding where necessary, and complete the 8 one-hour lessons in about 20-30 hours. By the end of the Foundation course, you will understand and have the confidence to speak basic Irish. You can continue to review and practice with the additional 2-hour Review course before moving on to the next level.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
Critic reviews
"The thrill is that you're actually figuring it out on your own. You're engaging with another language, not just parroting it... It's an excellent way to start, and leaves the listener thinking, Hey, Ich kann do dis." (David Sedaris, New Yorker, humorist and author)

Great way to break the rut
I think self-taught learners go through a lot of struggles and might be able to read basic Irish but sorely lack the practice to produce translations on the spot and this tool allows that. I've just ordered the 8th lesson out of 9. Having learners on the recording making the same mistakes you make, asking the questions to the teacher you want to ask, just makes it so different from other materials (in a good way). I think some pronunciations seem to change slightly and can be a bit confusing but that got ironed out with a bit of extra research for me. Definitely a must-have resource to play multiple times.
I was annoyed at first that the whole series wasn't covered with one credit but the pacing of taking one lesson repeated a few times for a month and waiting for new credits has really solidified the lesson knowledge.
highly-recommend!
