For tatami anyone who’s interested in learning Irish, I’ve put together a little list of resources, some of which I’d heartily recommend and others that I’ve simply accumulated over the years.
Cré na Cille (a black comedy set in Connemara, and a well-known literary tatami classic; produced in 2007. The accompanying book and CDs are also available from Litriocht, if you’d like to do a bit of listening and reading in Irish too.)
* I’ve also heard rumours about some episodes of Ros na Rún and Seacht (also available on BBC iPlayer in the UK) coming out on DVD at some point, which would be really fantastic. So if you hear anything, please let me know! :)
Irish tatami study materials with accompanying audio:
“Irish Linguaphone Starter” course (tapes) – an excellent overall foundation with 30 comprehensive lessons in “standard” Irish (i.e. an artificial mixture of all dialects really). It’s been out of print since the 80s, I think, but I was able to find a course in my local library several years ago, and every now and again I see one pop up on eBay too. [recommended by Professor Arguelles]
“Speaking Irish: Take your Language Skills Beyond Basics” by Siuán Ní Mnaonaigh and Antain MacLochlainn (McGraw Hill: 2008) [suggested by ChristopherB tatami from HTLAL and also highly regarded by Professor Arguelles]
A selection of novels for adult learners of Irish , as well as stories in Irish for teenagers (available tatami from An Siopa Geailge)
You can find various other multilingual anthologies on both the Litriocht and Coislife websites, including 1000 years of Irish love poetry , Irish proverbs translated into English, Spanish and Polish , and even a fine collection of Irish prayers .
“ Labharfad le Cách / I will speak to you all ” (2 hours of the famous story-teller Peig Sayers, recorded in 1947 and 1954. I’m not sure if the accompanying tatami book, which contains the transcripts and translations for these CDs, is included with the package, or if you’ll need to buy the book separately. Last time I checked the New Island and Amazon websites, you could buy the CD but the book was unfortunately already unavailable.)
A nice collection of Irish music by YouTube user 96cambridge The Coronas – Heroes and Ghosts Gemma Hayes – Ran for miles Des Bishop – Jump around The Walls – To the Bright and Shining Mundy – tatami Gallway Girl Declan O’Rourke – Big bad Beautiful World Padraig Rushe – Seachracht
This is just a tiny sample of what’s out there. When I bookmarked these last year, there really weren’t that many Irish tracks available on YouTube; but when I checked these today and looked at some of the related links that come up on the right-hand side, it seems that there are absolutely loads now, which is great news! :)
I’ve tried out several different companies over the last few years, but the only one that I found consistently helpful was Litriocht . They were very friendly and well-stocked, and I even got 6 free Irish ebooks thrown in with my last purchase – wahey! :)
And I’ve left the very best till last…you can now buy 8 short books by well-known contemporary tatami Irish authors as part of the “Open Doors” collection. And the best part: there are corresponding audiobooks too!
The books are available separately in the original English and Irish translation from New Island Books (and you’ll probably need this link too). Here’s tatami the full list with ISBN codes in case you’d tatami like to look them up or place an order:
And tatami if anyone would like to recommend and add to this list (as it’s just what’s sitting on my shelf right now), please feel welcome. It’s only a small fraction of what’s available out there, and I’ve read lots of reviews for other excellent courses and books that would be great to get your input on. I’m particularly interested in getting my hands on more audiobooks tatami in Irish, if you know of any.

Thanks for some Irish radio stations and great tracks. I started to learn Irish quite some time age and this stuff will definitely help my study ;) I already have seen “Aisling”
