FAQ
Frequently asked questions about learning Irish
Irish is classified as a difficult language for English speakers and very difficult for other Europeans. The main challenges: VSO word order (Verb-Subject-Object, unique among Western European languages), consonant mutations (words change their initial letter depending on context), and a spelling system that doesn't intuitively reflect pronunciation. That said, its Indo-European roots give it vocabulary with distant cousins in other languages.
Irish is a key that unlocks a deep cultural identity. In the Gaeltacht (Irish-speaking regions of Galway, Kerry, Donegal), speaking Irish creates a connection that is impossible in English. For anyone emigrating to Ireland, even a few basics of Irish make a strong impression on locals. In the Irish civil service, many positions value or require Irish. And to fully understand Irish literature, music and mythology, the original language is irreplaceable.
Yes, Irish and Scottish Gaelic both belong to the Gaelic branch of the Celtic languages, along with Manx (Isle of Man). They share a common ancestor and are partially intelligible in writing (the grammar is similar) but barely comprehensible when spoken due to pronunciation differences. Learning Irish gives you a strong foundation for Scottish Gaelic, and vice versa.
Enormously, traditional ballads (The Fields of Athenry, Óró sé do bheatha bhaile) and sean-nós (ornamental Irish singing) contain authentic vocabulary, grammar and turns of phrase. Our teachers incorporate music into lessons to build vocabulary and pronunciation. It is a method that works particularly well for Irish because the musical tradition is intimately bound up with the language itself.
Irish is demanding, expect 12 to 18 months with regular lessons to reach a basic conversational level. The VSO grammar, mutations and pronunciation take time to master. However, for polite expressions, greetings and a few iconic phrases, 2 to 3 months is enough. And even a few words of Irish are enough to create immediate warmth with any Irish person you meet.

“Been on Targumi for 3 months. The small group format is exactly what I needed. My teacher takes time to correct accent, it's precious. Made more progress in 3 months than in 2 years of regular apps.”

“What sold me is you actually speak from class one. No 10 hours of theory before opening your mouth. And the platform between classes is well-built, I revise on the morning commute.”
DamienVerified purchase

“Honestly I had doubts at first because I'd tried plenty of methods without sticking. This is different, the teacher knows their stuff, adapts to your level, and we have fun on top of it. 6 months in and still motivated.”

“Really good experience overall, the rhythm between live classes and independent practice is well-balanced. Small note: the mobile app lags sometimes, but the teaching content is well worth the price.”

“The thing that makes a real difference compared to other platforms: teachers are native and trained. You feel it, especially on accent and everyday expressions you don't learn in textbooks.”
