Product Description
Many Irish people wish they could broaden their ability to speak the cúpla focal. When we lose our language, we lose a part of who we are.
Here, Hector makes adding an Irish word a day to your vocabulary a habit that's as easy as brushing your teeth. Month-by-month, through stories, words and phrases, Hector takes us through the year with words from the practical to the magical, for every season and new moon. When you start the day, you'll be able to name the gallúnach (soap) and ubh brúite (boiled egg). When you head to the chipper after a few pints you'll be able to order an ispín buailte (battered sausage). And when you look out your window and see the robin is building his nest again in spring, you'll be able to greet the spideóg through Irish. Reclaim your heritage (oidhreacht) by learning an Irish word a day and with Hector.
