As Living Language have a good reputation and the course itself sounds good, I was excited and had high hopes for this course.Pros:Its well structured, for example there is a vocab section and then a grammar section, a dialogue section etc. This, I would say is the strongest quality of the course and would work well for individuals who like to learn a language using tables, grammatical explanations and such.It has plenty of exercises to test the vocabulary and grammar that you have learned, with tests at the end of each unit.It also has online games and such to help learn the new vocabulary, but I myself didn't take advantage of these much.Cons:It has VERY inaccurate pronunciation on the CD. Irish is just like any other language, and should be treated as such. You wouldn't hear native english speakers on a Spanish course CD, for example. The pronunciation is just plain wrong is parts, they don't correctly pronounce 'ch' or 'gh' for example. Granted this is a difficult sound for a native english speaker to produce but if the speakers are unable to produce the sounds in the irish language then quite simply different speakers should have been used on the CD, ideally native speakers, which none of these people on the recording are. The pronunciation is so inaccurate that if someone did use this course, and then went to the Gaeltacht, I guarantee you that they wouldn't understand a single word that any of the locals utter.It doesn't teach one dialect of Irish. An Caighdeán Oifigiúil is a WRITTEN standard for the language, there is no standard pronunciation. However, this course takes An Caighdeán Oifigiúil to also be a 'standard pronunciation' for the language. What does this mean? This means that it is teaching you a way to speak irish that isn't spoken, anywhere. Wouldn't it just be better all round to teach a living, used dialect of irish? However, you will probably be understood using this 'mixed dialect' that is taught here, so this isn't a massive problem or concern.Overall I would say that this course is better suited as a little extra, and not as your main resource for learning Irish. However, definitely steer clear from the audio recordings. Books I would recommend for learning Irish would be Buntús Cainte, Progress in Irish and Learning Irish all of which are excellent resources. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Leider nicht so gut wie erwartet *by B***A on Reviewed in Germany on 5 April 2014* Ich habe diesen Irisch-Kurs gekauft, um mein Wissen aufzufrischen.Positiv:- Jede Lektion ist in kleine Lernabschnitte unterteilt.- Alle Vokabeln werden auf den Audio CDs vorgesprochen.- Mittlerweile gibt es die versprochenen Online-Lektionen (sie fehlten, als ich diesen Artikel gekauft habe).Negativ:- Nicht alle Sprecher auf den CDs scheinen Muttersprachler zu sein. Die Aussprache weicht teilweise so stark von der verwendeten Lautschrift ab, dass es mir wirklich schwer fiel, einige Wörter, ohne sie geschrieben zu sehen, zu verstehen.- E-Mail-Support existiert leider nicht; auf meine Anfrage wegen der fehlenden Online-Lektionen (s. oben) erhielt ich leider keine Antwort. Immerhin wurde der Fehler behoben.Fazit:Ich würde diesen Irisch-Kurs nicht noch einmal kaufen. Für Deutschsprachige ist der Kurs "Irisch für Anfänger" vonBritta Schulze-Thulin und Niamh Leypoldt meiner Meinung nach besser geeignet, allerdings ist er nicht so weitreichend. Ich werde erst den deutschen Kurs durcharbeiten und dann mit diesem weiter machen. Dann wird mich die gewöhnungsbedürftige Aussprache nicht mehr stören. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars *by B***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 March 2015* Very clear and easy to follow --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/97899285-living-language-irish-complete-edition-beginner-through-advanced-course-including](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/97899285-living-language-irish-complete-edition-beginner-through-advanced-course-including) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-06-07*
