I use Duolingo with the audio turned off for a bit. Sionnach at an odd time if I want to see if the apps updated to something with more of a bite, but my main go to has been Teach Yourself Complete Irish by Diarmuid Ó Sé. I also tried the book Gaeilge Gan Stró, but it felt too touristy in its approach to teaching it, learning whole sentences before they explain the individual words. Complete Irish is more explained, however condensed and to the point which is a bigger strength to me, but also sort of a bad point too.
I sort of want a longer grammatical explanation and then examples, and then maybe some SRS to work with like an Anki card deck. There’s a lot of Irish resources out there, but none of them are good. And the best you can get are just old hardcopy books.
In a while, whenever the depression fully goes away, I’ll probably automate my own Anki card word-lookup Deck. But yeah, just I need my energy back firstly.
@arxaseus what are you using to study Irish?
