Why Bitesize Irish Gaelic

Don't just take our word for it...

• “I really enjoy the ability to go back and revisit previous lessons”

  

  “I’ve enjoyed using BiteSizeIrishGaelic.com and am very happy with the quality of the content, ease of the lessons, and excellent support and response. The lessons are just the right size and I really enjoy the ability to go back and revisit previous lessons. I am pleased with my progress and look forward to continuing the lessons. All in all, I highly recommend BiteSizeIrishGaelic.com to anyone who is interested in learning Irish!”

  — Kelly Netterville, learner and techie, North Carolina.

• “I love hearing a native speaker talk.”

  

  “Using Rosetta Stone has helped me learn a decent amount but it takes much more time and can be time consuming. I love using Bitesize along with Rosetta Stone for optimum results. Little pieces of language daily are much more manageable than a giant time consuming lesson plan. Plus Bitesize is certainly more affordable than the online component for Rosetta Stone. I do love how your website is set up.”

  — Marlene Taylor, founder of
  San Francisco Irish Culture & Expat Group.

• “Will be recommending!”

  

  “It’s an easy way to learn the language and you do a very good job of keeping it easy to understand. I will be recommending you to a few of my friends as well!”

  — Racheal Breeden, learner, Ohio.

• “Fluid and welcoming”

  

  “I'm trying to teach my child 1–2–3 in English, Japanese, German, and Gaeilge along with easy words. Thank you once again for such a wonderful site. I've used Rosetta Stone before but your site is a lot more fluid and welcoming :)”

  — Brandon Wright, learner and father.

• “Beautiful clear pronunciation”

  

  “I am very much looking forward to re–kindling my very poor Irish. You have a beautiful clear voice Eoin which makes it all the better. I am a singer/writer and understand all too well the need to connect with people through voice. I am thinking I need to encourage my sister (s) (one in Wexford, one in the States) to join me in this on–line expansion.”

  — Mary Murphy, Irish singer, songwriter, and novelist.

• “I really like your explanations”

  

  “I have searched and searched for Irish Gaelic courses and yours is the best! What I really like are your explanations, the audio, and especially the phonetics. You are doing great!”

  — Caitríona Ní Mhuirgheasa, Georgia, USA.

• “You’ve inpired me”

  

  “Your pronunciation is very clear, which helps me a lot. I’m going slow now, practicing the lessons over and over, and trying to develop a decent pronunciation. Being able to hear the phrases repeated as many times as I wish (arís, arís, arís, le d’thoil; again, again, again, please) is great.”

  — Robert Quinn, PhD.

• “My students now understand and speak Gaelic”

  

  “I have taken teaching Irish dance to a whole new level now because of Bitesize Irish Gaelic. My students now understand and speak Gaelic as well from what I have learned. It’s very rewarding to me as a dance teacher not just to teach the steps, but also the language. Thanks Eoin!”

  — Amanda Atkinson, Irish dance teacher, Michigan, USA.

• “Very enjoyable”

  

  “I find Bitesize very enjoyable. The lessons are very manageable and it’s easy for me to find material that is relevant to what I’m thinking about or interested in on a given day. I can read ahead to understand how what I’m working on fits in ‘the big picture’.”

  
  — Joshua Hawcroft, medic and corporate trainer, Melbourne.

• “Affordable and fun”

  

  “I have been speaking some phrases to my children for the last few months and have even ventured to say a few outside of the home. To me this is an absolutely beautiful language and I am going to do my best to learn it. Thank you for making it affordable and fun.”

  
  — Lt. Bethanne Marshall, Vermont, USA.

What others are saying

Bitesize Irish Gaelic is used by the Department of Celtic Studies, St. Francis Xavier University, Canada.

“I am Patrick a 22 year old university student in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I am massive sports fan and played a little bit of Gaelic Football last summer. I have read a few books with inserts with the Irish language such as "One Day in my Life" by Bobby Sands. After the combination on Gaelic Football and being exposed to other forms of Irish I felt the desire to learn and understand the language. I have always been interested in my Irish ancestry and learning the Irish language was the next step in feeling the connection.
Bitesize Irish Gaelic is great for beginners. I have recently signed up and I just can't seem to stop working on it. These past few days I have spent more time working on learning Irish than I do on my university studies. Every lesson has very good descriptive explanations and examples for you to understand. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to start learning the beautiful language of Ireland. ”
