FAQ's

🧬 What are the basics of the Irish language?

Irish uses a Verb-Subject-Object sentence order, a system of initial mutations called séimhiú and urú, and grammatical gender for nouns.

  • Verb-Subject-Object order is the backbone of every Irish sentence.
  • Lenition adds a h after certain consonants to change pronunciation.
  • Urú (eclipsis) places a new consonant before another, such as "bean" becoming "mbean."
  • Nouns are masculine or feminine, which affects the adjectives and articles you use.

Grinds focus on drilling these foundations until they feel natural.

💰 How much do Irish grinds cost in Swords?

The average cost of Irish grinds in Swords is around €34/h per hour.

The final price depends on things like:

  • Whether you're preparing for Junior Cycle, Leaving Cert, or learning conversationally

Why study hard for Irish? 

It’s always recommended to try and do your best in classes and subjects but there are some particularly good reasons why it’s a good idea to put effort into Irish. 

For almost every student in Ireland, it is a mandatory subject for secondary school. So even if languages aren’t your passion or talent, you are still going to have to get through that course no matter what. A good result is necessary because failing the subject will have ramifications for the university. The reason being is that for many institutions and courses in Ireland, it is mandatory to have at least a pass in the subject to be able to get in and study. 

Even if your course doesn’t need a pass in Irish as a minimum requirement, a good result is still important as it’s a mandatory subject and so you will need the points from the subject so that you can still get the course that you want.  

Education aside, an important reason to at least try and attain a good level of Irish and study it, is that it is an important part of the Irish culture. Gaining an understanding and appreciation of the language means that, that aspect of the culture will continue to be passed on and remembered. It is a part of the identity of the country and the Irish people.
