Excellent as Always

Mollie does everything beautifully, excellently, and with great generosity. Her book is no different! This book will now be the first resource I put into a person's hands when they ask me how to learn Irish. Her tone is inviting and encouraging, creating proper conditions for a person to learn with as little discomfort as possible, even when discussing painful challenges within the community, our cultural inheritance, or difficulties connected to the language itself. I was, as always, impressed with her creativity and balance, and nourished by her joyful spark. This book is a great resource.

A note on format. I listened to the audiobook, which was delightful as Mollie is truly unique with her beautiful enunciation, but I have enough Irish to see the words spelled out in my head when she's using Irish. If I didn't have that, I would want to be reading and listening.

Inspirational and informational, but could have used a couple extra takes on the pronunciation

I’ve been a student of Molly for 2 1/2 years now, and this is as expected an excellent addition to her Irish language learning materials. However, I do feel like some retakes should have been done during the pronunciation guides because she slips back-and-forth between pronouncing the names of letters in Irish and English, which tends to get very very confusing when you were trying to listen along.
