Why Learn Irish?
Once the dominant language of the Emerald Isle, Irish Gaelic has slowly declined in the number of native speakers over the past two centuries. Today, around 2 million people speak Irish, mostly in Ireland and Northern Ireland, where it is an official language of both countries. Most Gaelic speakers use the language sparingly as their second or third language. Irish is steeped in tradition and history, and it’s the language of some of the world’s most celebrated authors, poets, and thinkers. Irish Gaelic has a unique distinction – it holds a “Definitely Endangered” status by UNESCO, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization.
To learn the Irish language isn’t just picking up a new way to speak; it’s a personal journey that takes you deep into lore & legend. And Pimsleur® has everything you need to learn to speak Irish Gaelic. The Pimsleur Method™ is where it all begins.

Speak Irish with Confidence. Read like a Native.
Through his research, Dr. Pimsleur found that traditional teaching methods like memorizing vocabulary, conjugating verbs, and practicing grammar actually SLOW DOWN your ability to learn Irish. He called them the kiss of total silence because they made it nearly impossible to speak the Irish language. It's the reason learning a language feels so difficult, when it should feel totally natural.
It makes sense when you think about it. Have you ever seen a toddler memorizing vocabulary lists? Or picking out parts of speech in a sentence diagram? Of course not. Children learn language the way we were meant to ‐ by listening. That's because we are hardwired to remember sounds and store them in our memory automatically.
It's the same way you pick up a song on the radio. You don't have to study the lyrics or understand musical notes and chords to remember a song. Chances are, if you hear a song once you can sing along the next time you hear it.
Don't miss out. Try learning Irish with Pimsleur today while your first week is FREE!
