Gaeilge gan Stró! Lower Intermediate Level: A Multimedia Irish Language Course For Adults

by Éamonn Ó Dónaill

Gaeilge gan Stró! – Lower Intermediate Level is a multimedia language course for adult learners of Irish. It’s suitable for those who have already learned Irish and who still understand some of the language. It aims to give people the confidence and language skills necessary to communicate in Irish in everyday situations and to help them understand Irish speakers from various parts of the country. The emphasis is on developing speaking and listening skills but learners are also given opportunities to read and write the language. Grammar is taught in context, as it’s required.

The course consists of a book and two audio CDs which are closely linked to the book. An online version of the course is available on Gaelchultúr’s e-learning website, www.ranganna.com. The book and audio CDs can be used independently of the online version of the course.

Gaeilge gan Stró! – Lower Intermediate Level aims to help those who undertake the course to:

• speak Irish a lot more fluently;

• speak the language more accurately;

• add greatly to their vocabulary;

• understand speakers of the various dialects;

• add to their reading and writing skills;

• gain an understanding of various aspects of grammar.

The book can be used on its own or with the two CDs. The dialogues featured in the book can also be heard on the CDs.

An excellent book to follow upon the beginner book. Author does a nice job on building on previous lessons following a similar subject pattern. If you’re studying on your own, I’d suggest paying for the online version as it’s more interactive.

Like probably every other review of this book, the audio CD is a bit too quick.
Sure, sink or swim, but this is an introductory language course. If you cannot hear the nuances of the language, you are going to have a tough time and wind up with, well, stró! In all, though, I like this course and I like how closely it follows the TEG syllabus.

Excellent book for anyone who has the basics of the language already.

It has definitely enhanced my vocabulary and improved my grammar. Really enjoyed it.
