1 stars (In Muster dialect!) - Well, I didn't expect that the less used variant of Irish and less spoken was used for a popular game, aimed for the absolute beginner.Muster dialect has peculiarities, most of it are in grammar, so that it won't be useful even for those that want take a grasp in Muster dialect.An Ulster or Connaught speaker would have a fairly low point in some games.No explication about lenitions.Which is the use of a game that teaches you only to tell correctly the time in Munster dialect? Perhaps to have a job at the local radio station...

5 stars (This is a great CD for the first learner.) - This CD is a great way to learn the basics of the Irish Language. As previous review indicates, it won't satisfy the experienced that is looking for totally formal language instruction, what it does do is give you the basics and get you on your way to speaking Irish. Once mastered, then you will have the basic tools to go on to the more difficult Irish Instruction. It is presented in an enjoyable, Game type formate that makes it easy and fun to learn. |
