Topical Lessons
There are so many high level, scholastic sources that will tell you in minute detail every tiny part of Irish, but you often need a degree in linguistics to understand any of it - these aren’t designed for regular people who just want to start learning and speaking Irish. If anything, they turn learners off by making things seem impossible to remember and understand.
Our lessons to try and introduce you to the language and culture through interesting and accessible topics. No source is definitive, and everyone learns differently - we hope these lessons help to round out your Irish learning (working along with a good textbook or teacher) and let you to see the simplicity, beauty, and wonder in the Irish language.
We try to provide as many core details for free as possible to help everyone pick up Irish. Each topic has an extended member lesson that gives you extra explanations, examples and activities.
Colours
Which colours deserve names varies by culture, depending on what colours are most encountered. Colours may be named and thought of differently depending on what thing is being described - animate or inanimate, shiny or matte, hard or soft, vibrant or dull, the pattern, the texture, or even the contrast between the object and its background! Here, we explore traditional Irish colours.
