great resource August 1, 2008 Canadian Caitlin (Deglis Quebec) this book was a great tool for learning gaelic before i went to Ireland. I stayed with a Gaelic-speaking host family for a month this winter, and this book became my best friend!
An extra piece for your collection... July 16, 2002 Meghan D. O'connor (Seattle, WA) If you have a basic idea for pronouncing Irish, this is just a handy little extra for travellers to have. Not too much vocabulary, but plenty of touristy phrases about food, music, holidays, family, etc. Use as a supplement only.
very basic April 16, 2002 Deborah MacGillivray (US & UK) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Only for beginners, not that many words and only basic phrases, but handy for people just wanting to get a feel of the language.
I was highly disappointed in this pocket dictionary... April 14, 1999 17 out of 18 found this review helpful
While I was not expecting a thorough compiliation of vocabulary, I, too, had much difficulty finding the words I was looking for. The lack of pronunciation only added to the frustrations I had while using this book.
OK for a few simple words and phrases March 25, 1999 12 out of 14 found this review helpful
So far I have tried to look up ten Irish words and have found two of them. Not a good dictionary for someone wanting to learn the language.
