Gaelic? Irish Gaelic? Celtic Languages?
Maybe you’re not sure what exactly we mean by the names of different languages that you want to learn to speak.
Celtic languages cover Irish Gaelic, Gaelic, Welsh, Cornish, Breton and Manx.
Gaelic is perhaps an ambiguous term. Sometimes it is used to describe both the language spoken in Ireland, and the language spoken in Scotland. Both language are very similar. When we refer to “Gaelic” we are talking about the Celtic language of Scotland. Learn to speak Gaelic.
Irish Gaelic specifically refers to the Celtic language being spoken daily in Ireland. Actually, in Ireland we just refer to the language as Irish. Learn to speak Irish Gaelic.
Welsh is the langague spoken in Wales, and is arguably in the healthiest position amongst Celtic languages. Learn to speak Welsh.
Breton is spoken in beautiful Brittany in north western France. Learn to speak Breton.
Cornish is the traditional Celtic language of Cornwall, in south western England. Learn to speak Cornish.
It’s a shame you didn’t get more from it – as...
Ive always dreamt of learning Irish language. This is great. Im gonna give a try
Cool! This is very helpful for me as I have a online buddy who lives in Ireland and was inviting me to come over. I wish I could learn Irish language fast. They said, it may be easy but I do not think so. I really need a tutor. This thing would help.
Getting a personal tutor would be the next option after being able to visit an Irish-speaking area! If you can’t find a class in your area, then a self-learning program like ours may be a nice place to start learning.
this is really great, I’ve been wanting to learn a new language and Irish might be an easy one to learn.
How I wish I have this before my Irish friend will come over here to visit. I could brag a little of the language to get him impressed. Irish language is nice to listen to. Something new to learn is cool.
where can i buy this program and how much does it cost?
Hi Kevin, there are links in the page above to “get our language program”. There you’ll see the different prices for the different products. Currently our main TeachMe! program is offered at US$48 plus $5.20 shipping. See http://www.learnirishgaelic.com/learn-gaelic/software-course-cd/ for more info.
Would love to learn Irish language. A had this Irish friend, would be great if I can talk to him in his native language sometime.
@kitchenaid 600, sure, check out the learning program we provide: http://www.learnirishgaelic.com/learn-gaelic/software-course-cd/
This is cheaper than anything else I’ve seen. How do I know that it is of the same quality?
I don’t mean anything bad by my previous post. It is important to me to learn Irish and I just don’t want to learn it incorrectly.
@Lynn, TeachMe! is targeted at complete beginners, and includes native recordings, pronunciation lessons, vocabulary lessons and grammar lessons. I don’t know if it’s even the cheapest available. However, it has been developed and evolved over more than 7 years with many learners using it along the way. http://www.learnirishgaelic.com/learn-gaelic/software-course-cd/
I have always wanted to learn another language but I don’t want to be like every one else and speak German, French or Spanish. I am half Irish and half Scottish so I want to learn both dialects but I heard they are both very hard to learn. Are they?
@Rachel: any language is hard to learn. Neither Irish or (Scottish) Gaelic are directly related to English/German or French/Spanish/Italian, so the grammar will be different to what you assume it to be. But isn’t that the challenge!

I’ve been learning Irish since I was four – I’m now fifteen and I’m still not even nearly fluent. It’s not an easy language
what is the success rate with this gaelic irish course and do you give a guarantee within a certain amount of time if studied for say set amount each week/month that you will have a basic to moderate conversational irish speaking level?
A lot of people learning Gaelic might also be interested in learning other languages, like Spanish. Would be fun to combine the two – a trip to Ireland and a trip to South America – opposite ends of the world!
I’m Scott-Irish,i tried learning gaelic when i was younger,but after finishing the first course i couldnt find anything more. how advanced does this program get? and @maevegrogan,11 years and you cant speak it? it should be pretty well natural to you by now…wouldnt you think?
I think if you want to learn a launguage you will work at it no matter how long it takes. We in the world now are wanting instant gratification. Some things take time to work for us and are worth the time it took . I want to learn so I can help with geneology of my famly.
Hi there,
i always wanted to learn irish! I guess it’s that I like irish music… yet to language isn’t so melodic! or i am wrong?
nice software!
tom
@Corwin
Yeah, I should be, but it’s taught really badly in schools here. I’d say I’m a bit over half-way fluent.
@fastlearning
It is, actually, Irish is a beautiful language, my favourite by far. It’s much nicer than English.
@méabhgrogan
I totally agree with ur last comment Irish is not taught very well in schools. In national school we spent 10-20 minutes on Irish each day and in secondary school I had 9 different Irish teachers in 6 yrs. If you are not a self learner in school or living in a proper gaeltacht area (where it is spoken as first language) its hopeless trying to learn it. I was 14 years learning the language and now out of school three years i cant remember the basics, even though I live 1 mile from a gaeltacht area. I am now going back to the basics and hopefully it will be fruitful this time!!
How long will it take me to get it?
I’ve tried learning German in high school for one semester, the der-die-das I couldn’t get a handle on. Spent a semester in college in Taiwan, learned enough Mandarin to get around. Easier to learn then German was. My 2nd great-grandfather, William O’Bryan/Bryant spoke Irish according to the 1920 Federal US census. Make’s me wanna give it a try, but with no one to bounce this off of seems kinda pointless to learn by oneself.
@Kevianna All shipping details are on the product page.
@Garry You’d be surprised how people find support online. For example, lots of learners participate in the banter over at http://www.irishgaelictranslator.com/
hi my name is Bobbie and I am Irish so I would love to be able to speak Irish give me luck.\
Bobbie
Hi all,
I hope my Irish speaking teddybear – BB with 33 words of Irish will help too just like the Teach Me Irish. The Numbers, colours and shapes can be heard on the interactive section of our website. It’s free to use. I hope you enjoy it.

@eilis
I’m in fourth year now and so far in secondary school I’ve had 4 different teachers. If I hadn’t suddenly developed a huge interest for Irish I still wouldn’t know ANYTHING, like anything. Some of my friends don’t know what ‘anois’ means.
My grandfather immigrated from Ireland when he was in his 20′s. It was his wish before he died was to teach me his language. Unfortunately he died of cancer b4 he could. I’d like to learn irish (celtic) in his memory.
I want to learn Gaelic for a girl
Lynn of the lake makes me heart twirl
But oh me, she sees not
That I’m a smitten sot
So IRISH! Help me banner unfurl!
Ok, so I decided to learn Gaelic for more than a girl. It sounds beautiful just like that very real girl I wish would notice me, but I’m also planning on using it for literary work as well (a novel). The Celtic culture has always intrigued me so I hope the TeachMe series will be a good resource for my work.
is there a trail versiono of this software online? it sounds really great, but i like trying trials before i buy the full software.
@Jackie, I know this would be a great option, but we just don’t have one available.
Does this product really work? I and my wife would love to learn how to speak this language together.
@Isaac We no longer sell the product, unfortunately. If you would like to try out learning online rather than through software, try our http://www.bitesizeirishgaelic.com
Edit: we sell the software once again.
hey this is to anyone who might be able to help me. I have always dream’t of visiting ireland but it is rather hard to get the necesary documentation that is required. If anybody can help me i would be most grateful. You can email me if you like. My email address is haislip_m@yahoo.com.
Just wanted to let everyone know about Spraoi Ville, an online interactive world for kids to learn Irish that will be launced in three weeks time!
There is a school, theme park, clothes shop, food shop and farm in the world of Spraoi Ville.
EVERYTHING is in Irish with voice overs so that children learn exactly how to pronounce the words!
The kids have to go to the school to learn Irish, Maths, Geography and Science all through Irish so that they can earn coins to spend on rides in the theme park, new clothes for their avator, or on food!
Children will be learning and becoming fluent in the language without even realising it! It will be like sending your kids to live in the Gaeltacht in Ireland when they log on to Spraoi Ville.
Spraoi Ville is similar to Club Penguin and Savvy Bear in regards to it being subsciption based, but with certain parts of the world being free to go into!
If you have any questions you can contact me at spraoiville@yahoo.ie
I’d love to learn Gaelic because I listen to capercaillie and I love how the words sound but what age group is this meant for?
Nela, it’s expected that teenagers or adults use the software, but we don’t get more specific that that.
I’ve always wanted to learn irish language. and maybe purchasing this CD is my first step
Does your program include more than the Pimsluer program? I’ve learned a nice beginning with their program, however, I’d like to learn more and they do not offer any additional lessons. I enjoyed learning with their method and found it remarkable simple – I was amazed how quickly I was able to begin conversations – I attended a Celtic fest and was able to have minimal conversation with some folks. But there is so much more to know and learn. I’d like to know if this would be a good continuence of what I’ve already learned? Thank you.
@Charma – great that you already have a headstart. I think what you might be missing now is it the grammatical building blocks needed to express your own thoughts in the language. Try TeachMe! for lots of such lessons.
Hey Eoin! I was subscribed to Bitesize Irish this summer, but I didn’t use it enough to make the subscription worth it over more than a few months. I just bought the TeachMe! Popular Package, and I’m really excited to get back into learning Irish, plus Scottish Gaelic and Welsh too!
Casey, it’s good to hear that you’re still actively learning the language. Keep it up!
i want to learn irish! im half irish and half scottish and im more into the irish side. i hardly see any one irish only around christmas time and my nana and pa are always talking away in gaelic and giving us looks. next year i want to be able to know what there saying. we only get the choice out of french or japenese at school im gonna to beg my mum to buy this!!!
Irish is one of the coolest languages, if not the coolest language, in the world. I’m danish myself
This post will probably be deleted – but I hope that someone can learn from my misfortune. The teach me program is a good program IF and ONLY IF you have already taken and know the language before. There is little to no direction, explaination or clear cut instructions. and while it may be a good reminder or refresher. I am sadly disappointed — and extremely annoyed – there is no return policy. The packaging is cheap – it is nothing like the “box” that is on the website. You think there would be more explaination but there is not. Each language comes with a copied booklet that has a few “lessons” where you fill in words and a few “stories” written in that language.
It is not for everyone – so buyer beware – hopefully someone will benefit from my misfortune.
I love the Irish language and wanted to learn more – but this is defiantely not the method for me.
Charma, no, we don’t delete feedback
It’s a shame you didn’t get more from it – as it was developed for beginners. Yes, the packaging is flat to allow us to offer cheap postage. You might have better luck with the separate online program http://www.bitesizeirishgaelic.com – that does have a full 30-day moneyback guarantee.
