Thanks for a great product!
I've tried a lot of other company's language courses. They were so centered around games, I had a hard time remembering how each game was played so I didn't spend much time learning the language. It was very frustrating. Using TeachMe!, for the first time, I am retaining all the words from one session to the next. It's straight-forward and fun to use. Being able to check your progress whenever you want to is also a great feature.

A great learning tool!
I am thoroughly enjoying the TeachMe! Irish language course. I had been struggling to get pronounciations correct with only written instructions on how to form the correct sounds. This left ample room for error and confusion. With Teach Me! Irish, I can actually hear a word or phrase spoken correctly. This is a huge help as it is probably the closest I'll ever get, here in America, to hearing a native speaker of the Irish language. The vocabulary is well organized and the words are well selected. The grammar is also very useful and helpful. I purchased the entire Celtic Languages set containing Irish, Scots Gaelic, Welsh, Cornish, Breton, and Manx and, while I've really only focused on Irish for now, judging from it I'm sure the others will be equally as valuable and helpful and am looking forward to delving more deeply into each of them.

An excellent package
My daughter is sailing through this course. Very easy and is highly recommended for first time learners and for those wishing to bone up on something they may only half remember.

Fun and Easy to Use
I bought this software because I thought it would be less expensive and more flexible for my schedule than taking classes at the Irish Heritage Center. My schedule got even more hectic after I bought it so I haven't really got to explore everything yet, but I love what I've done so far. The audio has really helped my pronunciation and I'm steadily building up a decent vocabulary. I'm looking forward to continuing with this program when I have more time.
