Simply sit back and prepare to learn, or relearn, a range of Irish-language expressions that you can then use in your everyday life.

The featured words and phrases are again easy to learn, and this disc follows on from CD1. It features 6 lessons lasting approximately ten minute each, and I will speak the phrase in English and then I’ll say the same thing in Irish.

So, sit back, learn and enjoy!
