🇫🇷 → 🇮🇪
Your native language (Français) quietly pushes you into specific Irish errors. Here are the ones to watch — and the fix for each. This is exactly how WordSlick coaches you, every day.
See my full report & start free →French already taught you that spelling and sound part ways. Irish bh/mh/dh/gh behave the same: "leabhar" is roughly "lyour", "oíche" is "ee-ha". Read by chunk, not by letter.
"J’ai un livre" → "Tá leabhar agam"; "j’ai faim" → "Tá ocras orm". Irish has no verb for "have" at all, so both sentences go through a preposition.
"Je suis fatigué" → "Tá mé tuirseach" (a state), but "je suis médecin" → "Is dochtúir mé" (an identity). One French verb, two Irish ones.
French liaison already trains your ear for sounds that appear between words. Irish does it in the spelling: "an t-arán" (the bread), "na héin" (the birds).
French gives you three ways to say yes and no; Irish gives you none. Echo the verb: "An dtuigeann tú?" → "Tuigim" / "Ní thuigim".
"Une maison blanche" matches "teach bán" — the description follows the noun. Just remember that a feminine noun softens it: "bean mhór".
