GRMMA Niall for your Diary report of your experience on Tory Island !
It was so very helpful that you gave us an overview of your daily experiences - with a few sentences as Gaeilge first, followed by the English translation.
I have been studying Irish grammar and vocabulary. My next area of focus is improving my Comhrá as well as my comprehension of Gaeilge when speaking with others.
Your report is ar fheabhas !

Lovely and informative

Very entertaining and helpful podcast on the Irish language and all things Irish. The host is a congenial guide, and the guests are always interesting in the perspectives they bring.

Ive only just discovered this, so thankful for the archive!

Oh wow what a GEM this is to stumble upon as I stumble and navigate my way through learning Irish (in Los Angeles) in 2023. I was recommended this podcast and I’ve gone back to the first episodes of the revamp in 2018 and following from there. The ones prior of conversations w learners are so valuable and lovely too. I’m so sad this pod isn’t currently active but I’m thrilled for the years of generous materials the boys have gifted us here. Thank you ☘️🇮🇪
