Quizlet- Learning Irish

I myself have created a "class" on Quizlet called Learning Irish . It is basically a flash card type of class and it has no sound (because the sound part is not free on Quizlet) but it has really helped me learn my vocabulary from the Future Learn courses and I thought it might helps others as well. You can use them as regular flash cards or you can use the "write" option so that you can learn to spell your words as well. (They have changed the flash card option so it does several different things and keeps at you until you learn the word. SO much better!)
I add to my Quizlet class whenever I get the chance or whenever I am learning something new and need flash cards. Anyone can join the class that wants to use the card. I don't get anything for doing this, no one pays me for it.

Just a note--I shared it with Duolingo and one of the former nasty people on the Irish course (they all seem to have left) pointed out (very nastily I might add) that one of them was wrong.  Well hell, I'm not perfect. If you see one wrong, let me know. I haven't found any others so her trying to say it wasn't a good resource just because it had one wrong....isn't exactly the case. I really hate people who think they are so damn high and mighty.

Future Learn

Future Learn  had several little Irish language courses. I think they are great if you have the time to sit around and memorize vocabulary because that is what they mostly are, pages and pages of vocabulary and then a page now and then on Irish language history. They only give you a certain amount of time to view the course- free- and if you want to view it after that you have to pay for it. I have saved most of the vocabulary in quizlets and have taken some time to learn several of them. It has helped my understanding immensely but is basically a lot of memorizing. I have now gotten to 105 and they are reviewing some which is really helpful. I think the courses are fine if you have time on your hands and don't mind memorizing but I wouldn't recommend them to beginners. I think you will get burned out really fast if you are a beginner trying to do them.

The Living Language Series

I bought the whole Living Language series on Irish a while back. It comes with 3 books, CD's and a notebook of paper.

I bought it because I heard it had lots of writing exercises for each lesson and I really feel that writing exercises are important for me. I can't learn how to spell anything if I don't have writing exercises, just like I can't memorize words unless I know how to pronounce them. It is just the way my brain works.
I am about half way through the first book and have found it to be pretty good. Not really as many exercises as I had hoped for but a lot more than you get with some other books. It seems to build one lesson on the other but you do have to study the vocabulary.
The only flaw I see in it is that it tells you the prepositions but doesn't give exercises for them, it just kind of glides on past them and you see a preposition later once in a while. Prepositions are not my strong suit so I had hoped to get more practice at them but it isn't going to happen with these books.
I listen to the CD's in my car and that has helped me to understand what I hear quite a bit better. It's a pretty good series to get and I recommend it.
