ÁBHAR SCOILE (CURACLAM)

AG TOSÚ A FHOGHLAIM (TÉARMA 1)

You don't need any books for this class. All course materials are provided in your virtual classroom for free through the the class' Links section.

BUN-RANGANNA & MEÁN-RANGANNA (TÉARMAÍ 2-7)

Dosna ranganna seo, caithfidh Progress In Irish le Máiréad Ní Ghráda a bheith agat. Tugtar "an leabhar uaine" air freisin timpeall an domhain toisc go bhfuil clúdach uaine aige.

Chun dul ar aghaidh go feidhmiúil sa teanga, beidh gá agat do fhoclóir maith so-ghluaiste, leabhar briathar, agus cúrsa maith féin-mhúinte. Roimh a shroicheann tú Ceacht 45 sa Leabhar Uaine, beidh graiméar níos sonraí uait. Mar sin, molaimid:

* Oxford Pocket Irish Dictionary - go hiontach má's féidir leat é a fháil ach tá sé as cló. Triall www.amazon.com , 7rl. do chóipeanna athláimhe;

* Foclóir Scoile - Ní foclóir póca é seo, ach tá sé so-ghluaiste gan amhras, le cló mór deas do shúile laga mar atá agam. Do dhaoine le súile an-mhaithe, is é Foclóir Póca an leagan den bhfoclóir seo le cló beag;

* Briathra na Gaeilge - ar fheabhas, lán le réimniú briathar;

* New Irish Grammar ó na Bráithre Críostaí. Beidh an gramadach seo feidhmiúil chun cabhrú leis an Leabhar Uaine roimh a shroicheann tú Ceacht 45;

* Buntús Cainte - Is foireann de 3 leabhar agus 3 dhlúthdhiosca é seo. Fiúntas maith don airgead. Ba chóir duit dul tríd an foireann seo san am a théann tú tríd an Leabhar Uaine (.i., i dtimpeall trí bliana). Leabhar agus dlúthdhiosca gach bliain.

ARDCHEARDLANNA

Ainmneoidh do mhúinteoirí leabhair le ceannach dá n-ardcheardlanna. Roimh a shroicheann tú ár n-Ardcheardlanna, is dócha gur mhaith leat freisin na leabhair a leanas:

Gramadach Na Gaeilge agus Litriú Na Gaeilge (ath-chlóite go minic ón mbun-chlóbhuaileadh i 1958). Cuirtear an t-ainm 'An Caighdeán Oifigiúil' air seo freisin toisc gurb é an caighdeán oifigiúil a gcuireann an rialtas Éireannach amach as Gaeilge;

Foclóir Gaeilge-Béarla le Niall Ó Dónail;

English-Irish Dictionary le Tomás de Bhaldraithe;

Foclóir Gaedhilge Agus Béarla scríofa leis an tOir. Pádraig Ó Duinnín. Ba é seo an foclóir caighdeánach roimh an athrú litrithe agus roimh an mhalairt go litreacha Rómhánacha sna 1950í. Beidh gá agat don bhfoclóir seo d'ábhair scríofa roimh na 1950í san aibítir Ghaelach agus sa sean-litriú.

TEACHING MATERIALS (CURRICULUM)

STARTING TO LEARN (SEMESTER 1)

You don't need any books for this class. All course materials are provided in your virtual classroom for free through the the class' Links section.

BEGINNING & INTERMEDIATE CLASSES (SEMESTERS 2-7)

For these classes, you must have Progress In Irish by Máiréad Ní Ghráda. It's also called "the Green Book" around the world because of its green cover.

To go forward effectively in the language, you'll also need a good portable dictionary, a good verb book, and a good self-taught conversation course. By the time you get to Lesson 45 in The Green Book, you'll want to supplement it with a more detailed grammar. Therefore, we recommend:

* Oxford Pocket Irish Dictionary - great if you can get it but it's out of print. Try www.amazon.com , etc. for second-hand copies;

* Foclóir Scoile ('School Dictionary') - This is not a pocket dictionary, but it's definitely portable, with nice big type for weak eyes like mine. For those with really good eyes, Foclóir Póca ('Pocket Dictionary') is the pocket-size version of this dictionary with small type;

* Briathra na Gaeilge ('verbs of the Irish language') - excellent, full of verb conjugations;

* New Irish Grammar from the Christian Brothers - You'll want this to connect some of the dots in The Green Book by the time you get to Lesson 45;

* Buntús Cainte ('foundation of talking') - This is a 3 book/CD set. Very good value for the money. Your objective should be to go through all 3 books and their CDs in the roughly 3 years it will take to go through The Green Book. One book/CD set per year. For further assistance, join Larry Ackerman's excellent Buntús Cainte class at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/buntuscainte/ .

Also, for a good on-line Irish-English / English-Irish dictionary, see

ADVANCED WORKSHOPS

Your teachers will designate books to be purchased for their workshops. By the time you get to our Advanced Workshops, it's likely you'll also want the following:

Gramadach Na Gaeilge agus Litriú Na Gaeilge ('Grammar of Irish Language and Spelling Irish,' re-printed often with original printing in 1958) - This is also known as 'An Caighdeán Oifigiúil' ('The Official Standard') because it's the official standard of Irish language grammar and spelling put out by the Irish government in Irish;

Niall Ó Dónail's Foclóir Gaeilge-Béarla;

Tomás de Bhaldraithe's English-Irish Dictionary; and

Rev. Patrick Dineen's Foclóir Gaedhilge Agus Béarla. This was the standard dictionary before the spelling change and switch to Roman letters in the 1950s. You'll want this for materials written before the 1950s in the Irish alphabet and in the old spelling.
