Colloquial Irish (2022) Second Edition

Please note that the volume was updated and completely proofread twice. In doing so, the following should be noted.

1. Standard Irish recommends the use of an “h” between “le” and a vowel. However, this “h” is not used in the spoken language of West Galway. As a result, you will find both uses in the textbook.
