Colloquial Irish (2022) Second Edition
Please note that the volume was updated and completely proofread twice. In doing so, the following should be noted.
- 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.
