Your native language (ਪੰਜਾਬੀ) 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 →Punjabi keeps the book beside you rather than owning it — Irish does exactly the same with ag. Feelings sit on you: "Tá ocras orm".
Punjabi separates words by tone; Irish does it with the fada — "sean" (old) versus "Seán" (John). Hold the vowel instead of moving the pitch.
Punjabi ends with the verb; Irish begins with it. "ਮੈਂ ਚਾਹ ਪੀਂਦਾ ਹਾਂ" → "Ólaim tae".
Punjabi never changes a word’s first sound; Irish changes it whenever a trigger appears — "mo chara", "ár gcara", "trí chapall". Learn trigger and mutation as one unit.
Irish opens the sentence with the verb: "Ólaim tae" = I drink tea, "Itheann Seán arán" = Seán eats bread. Action, then who, then what.
tá describes a state or a place ("Tá mé tuirseach", "Tá mé sa bhaile"); is classifies or identifies ("Is dochtúir mé", "Is mise Seán"). "Tá mé dochtúir" is always wrong.
