Think in Irish!

“A person that speaks two languages has two souls”
A language must be learned at first through the ear and not through the eye ; that is, the teaching must be oral. This principle is stamped with nature’s approval. No mother attempts to teach a young child to speak by showing it signs and characters in a book. This course is not conversational but encourages the learner to think in Irish, not simply to translate from English.
