Refresher study of Irish

Buyingcar2012 · 2016-09-25 12:23:59

Our son may be going to a Gaelscoil this time next year. We both had a very good level of Irish in school but are out of practice. Are there any books/web tools that you'd recommend to get us back in to it? Also what would you recommend for our son for him to build up his vocab/conversation etc?

I found 'Turas Teanga' very useful....a book and c.d. It gets you into ordinary conversational Irish. I listen to it in the car a lot. It's also good to tune into rnag and tnag...the more you do it the more you'll pick up. I also got a Ciorcal Gaelach going...a cup of coffee and chat as Gaeilge.
