How do you feel about embracing Ireland’s native tongue? At odds after a tricky relationship at school? Maybe you’ve given up, or don’t know where to start?
Well, is fada an bóthar nach mbíonn casadh ann – long is the road that has no turn and, in this book, the road is about to turn.
Molly Nic Céile – creator of social media sensation for Irish-language learners and lovers Gaeilge i Mo Chroí – invites us to connect with Irish in our hearts, as we set out on a journey of renewed pride sa Ghaeilge. Using seanfhocail agus scéalta, proverbs and stories, and with plenty of craic along the way – including the hilarious ‘if Irish were English’ approach to better understanding sentence structure – the book offers guidance on bringing Irish into our everyday lives, supported by useful word and phrase glossaries throughout.
Connect with an Ghaeilge you didn’t know you knew, embrace na botúin – the mistakes – and discover the richness that our beautiful language – ár dteanga álainn – has to offer.
In 2019, Molly Nic Céile began Gaeilge i mo chroí – Irish in my heart – the successful YouTube channel and Instagram account.
