Dia daoibh!<\/em><\/h3>\n
Conas at\u00e1 sibh? T\u00e1 s\u00fail agam go bhfuil t\u00fa go maith. <\/em>How are you all? I hope that you are well.<\/div>\n

Today I wanted to share some resources online with you to help with your Irish language journey.<\/p>\n

Irish language TV online<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Irish language radio online<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Watching TV or listening to the radio online are some of the best ways to learn a language. If you’re also able to watch something that you’re already familiar with in English, then it will be that much easier for you to begin to make connections between the two languages.<\/p>\n

Irish language hub<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Through here, you will be able to access news and events, as well as search for Irish language jobs! Some events<\/a> include weekly conversation circles, weekly online classes, and more.<\/p>\n

There is also a list of books<\/a> that are perfect for adult learners. Or, just like above, you could try re-reading books in Irish that you are already familiar.<\/p>\n

Transparent Language Online<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

There are hours of lessons available on Transparent Language Online, and the above link is to a free 2 week trial. If you want the capability to learn Irish (as well as over 100+ other languages) online for free all year long, check out if your library offers Transparent Language Online<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Then you will have access to numerous activities to practice your new vocabulary, such as this unscramble activity below.<\/p>\n

A glance card\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

For grammar, I suggest a glance card which contains all the basics of Irish grammar “at\u00a0a glance”. It is a great Irish\u00a0language study aid that features the conjugations of the 11 irregular verbs, 33 regular verbs, prepositional pronouns and lots more.<\/p>\n

Here’s a youtube video featuring how to use a glance card.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

I am curious as to what you use to help you on your language learning journey, so feel free to leave a comment below and share with everyone!<\/p>\n

Lastly, I want to share a song in Gaeilge<\/i> from the Irish group Seo Linn. It is based off of the Irish proverb:<\/p>\n

\u201cAr sc\u00e1th a ch\u00e9ile a mhaireann na daoine\u201d\u00a0<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

“We are shielded from the sun by each other, we rely on each other for
\nshelter.”<\/span><\/p>\n
