Web Resources for Irish

It is almost unbelievable the number and quality of web resources now available for students of Irish. I will just list a few right now, but I will come back to this issue from time to time.

One fantastic site is published by "Foras na Gaeilge," and the web address is http://www.irish.ie/default1.asp?lang=en. At this site you can chose to read in Irish or English, and the resources available are incredible. The site states, "Foras na Gaeilge, the body responsible for the promotion of the Irish language throughout the whole island of Ireland, was founded on the second day of December 1999."

Another interesting site is www.daltai.com ("Daltai" means "students," as in "Students of Irish."). I enjoy looking at the language forums on this site.

  1. Don't forget RaidiĆ³ na Gaeltachta and TG4 (TV). Both stream online for free, what a great resource they are.

    $$ Since your post, http://www.bitesizeirishgaelic.com has also launched. It's a series of online Irish lessons.
