LearnGaelic Beginner's Course

Three minor additional features would earn it at least another star: 1. Add brief titles, or an index, or a search feature to help users identify the subject of each lesson and make it easier to find the one that covers an area a learner may want to go back and review (subjects like weather, transportation, locations, shopping, jobs, etc, and the verb(s). 2. A glossary with all the neat little expressions that are tossed into the dialogues (indeed, certainly, etc.) 3. A "final exam" or cumulative practice feature covering everything.

This app is well-organized and sensible in its progression. You learn an average of 10 words per lesson in the 60 lessons and every word is learned in a fairly realistic context. It's clear that a great deal of thought went into it. I truly hope the next level is on the way. There is one thing I keep wishing for in the dialogues. I wish there was a way to tap and play each line of the dialogue separately so I could hear each line again and again, both to practice faster comprehension and to practice pronunciations. Another helpful feature would be to be able to tap any of the extra vocabulary words in the dialogue and hear a pronunciation since those are new.
