Wow. This product is just abysmal. I’m appalled that it is sold at all – the software that has actually installed on my computer is sloppily put together, and the rest won’t properly install on Mac OS 10.5. Customer service is non-existent. I keep on getting canned technical service responses that have nothing to do with the problem that I describe.
I’m trying to get a refund from this shabby operation and they still haven’t responded. I have a feeling that I just kissed a lot of money good-bye.
I cannot warn you enough not to waste your money on this product.

I recently started this program and have had great success. It is easy to navigate, and provides several helpful tools to help you achieve your language goals. It comes with a basic version of another program, Before You Know It, also by Transparent Language, that is INCREDIBLE. This is where I started because it allows you to work on single words and phrases until you know them cold. Then, you can progress to the activities in Learn Irish Now, which are a little more intermediate and advanced. In this part of the program, there are several “environments” you can learn in, each involving sentences and paragraphs.
One of my favorite features is the pronunciation guide. You can listen to the example, then record your voice and compare it (even in slow motion) to the recording. It rates you on your pronunciation, too.
I also found the reference section extremely helpful. There are several topics resembling class notes from language classes that are very helpful when learning basic pronunciation and grammar rules. I found it easier to understand why the confusing mix of vowels and consonants were strung together after understanding the basics.
The only thing that was disappointing with this program was that the Before You Know It portion was only a “lite” edition, and somewhat limited. I downloaded the deluxe edition from the website and it was amazing. With the deluxe version, you get several more lists (many of which help explain to people that you are just learning the language!) and the pronunciation guide for the flashcards, as well as the immersion programs.
Overall a great buy. Worth the money if you are serious about learning Irish Gaelic.
