Instant Irish!

Tá fáilte romhat chuig an gcúrsa gairid Gaeilge seo! Welcome to this short, interactive Irish language course! Each week during the Bernard Dunne’s Bród television series, a new unit of the course will be made available here. We hope you enjoy listening to the dialogues and doing the exercises based on them and that the course content will help you start speaking Irish again.

Instant Irish! is suitable for those who have already learned Irish in the past and who still understand some of the language. It aims to give those using it the confidence and language skills necessary to communicate in Irish in everyday situations and focuses on developing speaking and listening skills only.

Translations into English of all the words and sentences are provided throughout. Simply click on the “Show Subtitles” link in the top right-hand corner of the screen to access all the subtitles on that page. Alternatively, you can click on the plus sign beside individual sentences to see the English versions of those sentences.
