Have you ever wanted to order a round in the pub AS GAEILGE? Ask someone out, call in sick to work, complain about your dinner, introduce yourself at a meeting, or simply have the everyday chats that make up Irish life – all through Irish?
Forget textbook phrases about train stations and hobbies. These are the conversations you'll actually have. From the workplace to the pub, from awkward moments to great craic, Hector Ó hEochagáin shows you how to turn words into real-life chat. It's time to stop thinking about speaking Irish – and start talking. One conversation at a time, one occasion at a time. All in our own beautiful language.
