Irish language, also called Erse or Gaelic, Irish Gaeilge, is a member of the Goidelic group of Celtic languages, spoken in Ireland. Ranked as an endangered language, Irish is spoken by an estimated 1.2 million speakers worldwide. It is spoken as a first language by around 170,000 people in certain counties in Ireland itself, but the great majority of them are non-traditional, second-language speakers. Part of the Irish diaspora, there are smaller Irish speaking communities in North America, the United Kingdom, New Zealand and Argentina as well.
How to learn Irish? Focus on the most important part of the language: words. Words are the building blocks to your new language skill. With Drops, you get to spend time with what matters most.
Word lists you just won’t find anywhere else. We’ve worked with a team of experienced language learners to curate word lists on a diverse range of topics. The wordlists we’ve put together are highly relevant, and you won’t find them anywhere else.
High-quality audio. Robotic, artificial voices or poor audio recordings just don’t cut it when you’re working on listening comprehension. That’s why we make sure that every word comes with crisp, clear and high-quality audio.
Short, focused learning sessions. With Drops, you work on your new language in short, five minute learning sessions. It’s perfect for busy learners and a simple way to make language learning a part of your day.
