How do you feel about an Ghaeilge Frustrated Embarrassed Confused Or maybe even indifferent Maybe you've given up, or you don't know where to start
Well, is fada an bothar nach mbionn casadh ann - long is the road that has no turn and in this book, the road is about to turn.Molly Nic Ceile, creator of the social media Irish-language go-to spot for learners and lovers, 'Gaeilge i mo chroi', invites you to embrace the botuin and things you don't yet understand, to discover the Gaeilge that is already in your heart.Through seanfhocail and scealta, we can find our way ar ais - back - to our beautiful and wild native tongue, connecting with the ways it exists around us and it provides us with focail - words - that don't exist i mBearla, like smidirini and the craic.Includes sections on 'if Irish were English' - a humorous way to understanding sentence structure; reconnecting us with the Irish we don't know we know; and word and phrase glossaries throughout. So join Molly on a journey into why bealach an chroi - the way of the heart - is where it all rests.In 2019, Molly Nic Ceile began 'Gaeilge i mo chroi' - Irish in my heart, the succesful YouTube channel and Instagram account.
