A Grammar of Modern Irish

A Grammar of Modern Irish is by far the most comprehensive book written in Béarla for native and non-native speakers alike.

This book cost over €100,000 to write, making the retail price of €30 for this timeless reference a bargain.

See list below for shops that carry it.

"The best book on the Irish language on the market." Nicholas Williams, Professor Emeritus UCD, and translator of The Hobbit from Béarla into Irish

"It’s a masterpiece, your book. Clear, concise, thorough explanations of a sometimes impossibly complex language; easy-to-follow layout; well-chosen typography, with lightface Gill Sans for the text and serif for the examples. I’m not familiar with the Christian Brothers’ original, but if it’s like most grammar books, it was written with a splendid disregard for the potential reader. Your version is not." 

- Caleb Crowell, Executive Vice President (retired) Educational Design, Inc., New York

The index has been revamped to make finding things much easier. The Table of Contents was divided into a condensed and expanded version. Just a few examples of helpful innovations are Chapter 22, which is a huge aid on how to correctly use prepositions, and Chapter 24, which gives you the building blocks to make new words in Irish.

If you happen to like learning a language and discovering the background of sentence and word formation, then GMI was written for you.
