Yeah, I know, you didn't expect songs but songs are how a lot of children learn and it won't hurt you to learn some songs while learning Irish at the same time.
Children's songs are really good. Here is a song I am learning now: An bhFaca Tu mo Sheamuisin but if you look on the bottom of the page there are lots of songs you can learn. What have I learned from this song? Well "an bhfaca tu" means "have you seen" and apparently you can put "in" in the end of the work to add the word "little" to it. Things I hadn't yet gotten to in on my web courses or books.
Then if you want some music that is more modern you have to go to Youtube and find TG Lurgan. They are absolutely wonderful. Here is the song "Wake Me Up"
Then if you go to this site (this can be found under the video too) you can find the lyrics in Irish and English.
Learning one of these is a little ambitious for a beginner but it can be done if you want it bad enough.
