An ceacht deireanach; the last lesson

This is the last lesson in the series designed to give you a basic grasp of the Irish language. By now you should have an effective command of the language adequate to carry on some conversation and understand spoken and written Irish.

The essential verb forms, word order, formation of noun plurals, the combination of prepositions and pronouns, and the elementary vocabulary of words and idioms are part of this. Further studies of Irish will depend on your opportunities, which are of two principal types: talking with other speakers, of any degree of proficiency; and reading and listening to tapes and records.

The degree to which your work is structured will depend on your natural inclination. Some persons will benefit most from constant conversation with others, while other learners consider that they must progress in an orderly manner through grammar books, such as "Réchúrsa Gramadaí", and through books of graded difficulty, with the assistance of dictionaries along the way.

A persistent effort to write Irish is a good way to improve your style and vocabulary. Irish-speaking friends in Ireland, or in the United States, can help with this. A regular correspondence will let you improve painlessly.

The lessons in this series will begin anew in a few weeks, and if you have friends who have evinced interest in Irish, perhaps they can begin with the repeating of the series.
