    Turas Teanga from RTE is quite good.
    The series includes 2 books, CD's & there's also a DVD as it was a series on RTE a few years ago.
    There's Teach Yourself Irish, again a book & cds.
    Apart from that, watch TG4 & listen to RNaG as often as you can.
    There's a free printable newspaper, La Nua I think it's called, online, try reading some articles from it as often as you can.
    There's a subsection of After Hours here for conversations in Irish. You could pop your head in there to try & string a few sentences along.
    If your based in Dublin, there are lots of courses available for you to do. Gaelchultur & Conradh na Gaeilge, or try & find a conversation group close by. I believe there's an Irish speaking cafe in Dublin also, that you might want to try.

    As you can see, there are lots & lots of resources if you want to make the effort.
    It'll come back to you pretty easily.

    Congrats on getting the place on the course.

    Buy the book Coir Gaoithe from Marino. It's super good. Pat's library probably have it.
