Used to be really decent at spoken. I'm at about a decent sixth class / first year level now after practicing with my youngest for a bit and I've definitely improved but it's also definitely plateaued.

I'm doing little things like reading the Gaeilge along with English on any signs I come across but struggle with RnaG news or the like.

Like I can make out the words but I'm just so rusty I lose context quickly.

Thank you! I like the idea of the audio for sure. A little pricey but I suppose their audience is limited.

Buntús Cainte is available online for free as far as I know (Youtube, and some of the language apps have the audio course included). I really like that one too and I have all three books/CDs. It's a bit dated in some ways, but the blas on the speakers is fantastic.

Sound. I'll give that a whirl. Been using the Sionnach app daily since posting and it's helping but I definitely could do with some handy audio.

I must give Sionnach a go. I have it installed but never got around to it. Thanks for the nudge!
