    This app has really helped me connect to my late great great grandparents. Im learning slowly but surely. Im really hopeful that it will stick. Its only been 4 days but fingers crossed

    I have been doing Duolingo for 10 months now and while I’m picking up the words, it does nothing to teach you to speak. This app is great because it uses every day scenarios to help you speak correctly. Few bug fixes like it won’t pick up simple words sometimes like “an” and I have to yell it to get it recognize it. Other than that I’m 2 weeks in and enjoying it. I really like that the lessons are short as well.
  • Great Practice, But…

    Love the app for pronunciation practice. As noted by others, however, there are certain words (“tae” and “míle” so far for me) that are not recognized by the app no matter how loud I shout at my phone! Update: bugs seem to be fixed making the app a great way to practice speaking Irish everyday and everywhere.
  • I’ve been loving it so far!

    Only a week in, but I saw this app because of Gaeilgeoir Guides on instagram. I loved seeing his lessons and then seeing that he made this app/supporter this app, I had to get it. I was using Duolingo because it was better than nothing, but Irish is clearly not where Duolingo makes their money so the app mostly just had typing / fill in the blank. Hey Rua has been great for speaking a pronunciation which has really helped me get on my way to learning the language.

    I love practicing the pronunciation! That’s what I’ve lacked in other Irish language learning apps
  • Missing something

    I love that there’s so much conversation but most of the time I don’t know what I’m really saying and sometimes it’s hard to understand the speaker.
  • Rua is a cutie!

    Ive been learning Gaeilge on my own using Duo and other online resources for the last 12 years, completing and re-doing the same course over time, but the one thing that’s always been missing is the speaking section on that app. I can confidently say, that with only 3 days using this app, my fluency and retention in speaking AND thinking has only accelerated since opening this app. This is a MUST if you’re interested in learning and using the language.

    Life has been so crazy that I haven’t been able to go to a in person course. Amazing way to learn.
