This resource is no longer available, unfortunately. I have left this article here for archive purposes and removed it from the Irish sections of the site. If you showed up here, it must have been directly from a search engine. I recommend checking out the Learn Irish Magazine to discover current ways to learn the language.

Free Irish Podcast and Flashcard Service Launched
Focal an Lae helps you learn Irish one word at a time. Every day, we'll post a new Irish word and sentence, with supporting Irish flashcards and audio. Download the audio to your PC or iPod so you can practice your Irish offline. Download the flashcards to your PC, mobile or iPod to learn Irish on the go. Try out your Irish by participating at our blog.
Over the next few weeks, we'll be adding more features to help you learn Irish – we've got a great free audio dictionary, games and quizzes almost ready for launch.
And remember, we've got a great forum and social network for you to join, so you can make friends and practice your Irish no matter where you are.

Mehdi's not from Ireland. In fact, we're pretty sure there's no Irish blood at all in our French-Moroccan software engineer. Mehdi might not be fluent in Irish, but he is fluent in C#, XML, HTML and CSS - and these are the languages that bring you Talk Irish.Ultach
Talk Irish would like to thank Ultach not only for a grant that has enabled us to hire a part-time Irish language translator, but also for invaluable support, guidance and advice.
