🇨🇳 → 🇮🇪
Your native language (简体中文) 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 →Mandarin answers 你去吗？with 去 or 不去 — exactly what Irish does: "An dtuigeann tú?" → "Tuigim" / "Ní thuigim". Neither language needs a yes-word.
是 for identity → "Is dochtúir mé"; 在 for location → "Tá mé sa bhaile". The split most learners wrestle with is one you already make instinctively.
Mandarin h is a velar fricative — the same sound Irish spells "ch" in "loch" and "chuaigh". Put the saved effort into the fada: Irish uses vowel LENGTH, never tone.
Chinese has 有; Irish has nothing at all. "我有一本书" → "Tá leabhar agam" — the book is at you, and there is no verb to conjugate.
Mandarin words never change; Irish nouns take a genitive and mutate at the front: cat → mo chat → ár gcat, teach → doras an tí. Expect the word to move under you.
Chinese says 大房子; Irish says "teach mór" — noun first, description second, and it softens after a feminine noun: "bean mhór".
WordSlick builds every daily lesson around your real mistakes, coaches your native-language interference, and lets you practise real conversations with instant correction.
