Usborne Internet-Linked Irish For Beginners

So I am constantly looking for more Irish children's books to read. I go spend a lot of time on Ebay and Amazon just looking (if I spent that time studying I would probably know more Irish!) and each week I buy just a couple more books and I wait forever (or it seems like it) because most of them come from Ireland or the UK. I ordered two this last time and it has been several weeks but the Usborne Internet-Linked Irish for Beginners has finally come in. I thought it was just like a children's book that would teach me, maybe, a few new words. It turned out to be so much more. Every two pages is its own lesson with lots of great vocabulary words and how to use them in a few "useful" sentences. Here are the lessons:

About this book

Glossary

Let's take for instance the pages for Your Home. There are 23 New Words or phrases for you to learn. You learn names for different kinds of houses and how you say that you live in them. Then you learn what each room in a normal house is called and how you say "Who is in the living room(bedroom kitchen, bathroom etc)? And how to reply to that. Then there is a little "Points to Remember" box and it tells you what words "sa" aspirates or doesn't aspirate.

The Glossary at the end is an Irish/English dictionary and for each noun tells you whether that noun is masculine or feminine.

The only down side of this book that I can see is the "Internet linked" part. You are linked to the Usborne site where you find what book you have and there is supposed to be links to help you. I had hoped it would help with pronunciation of the words I didn't know.  The book says that they are kept updated but I clicked on several of them and none of them worked anymore.

Still I think this book is definitely worth having. If I ever get done with my Duolingo tree I intend to sit down and study each lesson until I know them.

Enjoy your studying!
