Really interesting way of teaching compared to how Irish is taught in schools. learning the meaning of the words and Phrasing and hearing the correct grammar and pronunciation makes it a lot more interesting and easier to digest. This has ignited my hope to relearn the language so anyone who is interested in learning Irish should definitely check this Audio Book out.

Mollie is such a likeable narrator with a fascinating new perspective on the Irish language. She makes it feel familiar and fun. I can feel all my dormant Gaeilge coming back to life as I listen to her. I'm sure I will listen to this book many, many more times - it's a fabulous accompaniment to the physical book

Makes Irish feel easy!

Tá mé tar éis leis an leabhar seo a éist. I’m just after listening to this book.
As a follower of Mollie’s great classes I was wondering if this was going to tell me anything new and although there was a lot there that was known, I still got so much out of just hearing it all again and in a form that inspired and motivated, especially all the insights into the links with Hiberno-English.
I’ll be getting the hardback for Christmas but just couldn’t wait and I’m glad this is available in audio book form because you get to hear Mollie’s lovely, clear pronunciation.
I would strongly recommend this to anyone, whatever their level of Irish, but especially for absolute beginners as it helps to tear down so many of the barriers that can be so intimidating when you are starting off.

An-suimiúil agus spreagúil ar fad.

I loved the way Mollie was able to tell you about irish phrases and words, their meanings and etymology.

A perfect guide to the Irish language and its history.

Some of the content is just ok, but I became increasingly frustrated listening to this ‘guide’ as I went along.
First the editing. There is zero gap between one chapter ending and the next beginning. It’s so bad that two or three times she sounds like she talks over herself as she begins the next chapter while still finishing the last. Editing of the audible version is shocking to be that bad when we’ve paid good money for it.
Second, the exercises at the end of every chapter. On the printed book I’m sure it makes sense, matching a word from one column with a word in an adjoining column. However in the audio version she just lists out a tonne of words, and then lists another raft of them, and asks you to match them up. It’s so poorly thought out as an audio version that she says the answers are at the end of the book (rather than audio book), and then lists 1b, 2f, 3a, and so on. Even a pdf would have helped.
Third, she spends what seems like the first third of the book just talking herself up, bragging about how many followers she has and generally just self-feeding her ego. Others noted the same thing in reviews and I’d thought it could hardly be that bad, but it was. We have paid good money for a guide book to the Irish language, not to hear about her Instagram growth or LinkedIn success.
Overall I’d say there are better books out there to actually learn Irish.

Better options out there, not great on Audible
