    Hi,

    I learned French and German initially using Michel Thomas and it really gave me a great head start. I'm not aware that he produced Irish lessons and therefore wonder if anybody knows a really excellent self teach product that's similar in style to his? I've to learn Irish from scratch in 18 months to do Irish as a subject for the Leaving Cert (Hons). I prefer using his system because I don't really like class learning so much until I'm already fairly proficient.

    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    I've heard the Pimseluer method is good. I'm not sure how close it is to the Michel Thomas method however: http://www.pimsleur.com/learn-irish

    Duolingo's pretty good too! Maybe give that a try :)
