Your native language (Español) 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 →Your instinct maps almost perfectly: estar → tá (estoy cansado → "Tá mé tuirseach"), ser → is (soy médico → "Is dochtúir mé"). Trust it — you start ahead of English speakers here.
"Tengo un libro" cannot be translated verb for verb — Irish says "Tá leabhar agam". And "tengo hambre" becomes "Tá ocras orm": hunger sits on you, it is not owned.
The j of "jamón" is the same /x/ as the ch of "loch" and "chuaigh" — most learners lose weeks on that sound and you already own it. Spend the time on slender consonants instead.
Irish answers by repeating the verb: "An bhfuil tú réidh?" → "Tá". Hunting for a one-word sí/no equivalent is the quickest way to sound like a tourist.
Spanish needs "un libro"; Irish just says "leabhar". Keep the definite article (el/la → an), delete the indefinite one entirely.
"La casa blanca" and "teach bán" agree on order. The new part is that a feminine noun softens the adjective: "bean mhór", not "bean mór".
