Modern Irish is spoken in various dialects – with distinct dialects in Ulster, Munster and Connacht. There is also a standardised version of the language.

Often – learners can be put off when they encounter an accent or dialect that they are not used to.

We suggest you select a dialect – maybe the one you have family history from – or just the one you like the best.

Do not worry – when you can speak and understand a good level of Irish – you will be able to understand all the dialects!
