| GRAMMARS |
| |
| It would be foolhardy to think
that we could cover all areas of Irish grammar and vocabulary from
the beginning. There are many books available which do that. We will
refer throughout to TEACH YOURSELF IRISH published by Hodder
and Stoughton and to NEW IRISH GRAMMAR by The Christian Brothers
published by Fallons. We intend to offer sample lessons at each level
and gradually build up the content so that in time it will contain
a good range of graded lessons on the most important elements of the
language. |
