great for passive listening

I read the text while listening. made an anki deck from the pdf guide. and then listened passively while walking the dog a few times. and I think it helped my Irish.

the narrator is great and would like more Irish language books narrated by her.

Really useful for learning the language

Great to listen to in the background while learning the language, I'm a begginer and found the pace just right. I also have the book to read whilst listening, they make a great resource.
