Irish language resources

Here are a couple of online resources I came across today for learning Irish:

Everyday Irish – a series of Irish language lessons by Liam Ó Maonlaí, lead singer of the Hothouse Flowers, and offered for free by the Irish Independent. The lessons are in the form of mp3s with accompanying worksheets in PDF format. They are available for beginners and more advanced students.

Talk Irish – a new Irish language learning project which will offer free Irish word-a-day emails, podcasts and flashcards. At the moment only the word-a-day is available, once you’ve joined the site.

Hey. I found this and was wondering if you could help me. I have no idea what language it is. If you could tell me what language this is, I’d be very grateful. Thanks in advance.

Hi, I’m the one who hooked in learning languages. Especially european languages. (I’m a Japanese)
And I want to improve my language learning process, I made up a web service which should be helpful to everyone who learn languages.
Won’t you visit my site to see what I’m going to do? And if you like my site or concepts, please register!
Best Regards.

The Irish Independent’s effort is not too dissimilar to the BBC’s Welsh effort at: http://www.bbc.co.uk/wales/learnwelsh/

Hey, I have a friend who’s American Irish and we’re running a blog about language learning together (can be found here http://properlanguagelearning.blogspot.com/ )… He also knows about omniglot.com and we enjoy your work. Keep it going. ;)
