tl;dr: I'm looking for web-accessible Irish resources, specifically bilingual in
Irish/English, or available in parallel editions for each language. Easy Irish aimed at kids is also great. I've been happily using various text/audio courses, plus SRS on computer/devices, since I started studying Irish early this year. But I've hit a patch of life stress, and one side effect has been losing focus for normal courses, and an balancing fascination with bilingual texts or very easy Irish for kids. I've got a perfect bilingual book I'm enjoying at home, unfortunately out of print Favorite Irish Legends in Irish and English, but I had the worst luck getting hold of my copy, and I'm not going to schlep it around in my bag all day running errands. As part of the life stress, many errands and appointments lie ahead of me soon. So I'm looking for anything available via a phone or tablet on the go, that's a bilingual text resource in Irish and English. I'm delighted with any random thing, from official documents mandated to exist in both languages, to multilingual product instructions. I've been having fun with the Teastas Eorpach na Gaeilge A1 syllabus, but while that started out cool and meta, it's become a bit like eating the same lunch every day. I can also puzzle out Irish language materials directed at children. For example, here's a page of Children's Rhymes and Songs But I've had a hard time finding websites for children, which seems weird. Am I not using the right search terms?

And now I will ignore your question and answer a different one. ;-)
Have you seen Bliu Bliu yet? It's not parallel texts, but all L2 texts. The texts are chosen according to an algorithm that tries to estimate what words you do and don't know, and to search for texts where you know most of the words. The others are highlighted and every word has a hover-over translation. Catch: it's free to use in small doses, but small fee to unlock unlimited. Also, it's a bit rough around the edges, but a promising idea. 1 person has voted this message useful |
