📚Happy Irish Book Week!☘️

To celebrate Irish Book Week (17–24 October | Deireadh Fómhair), we’re sharing our next set of our Gaeilge On The Go Irish language flashcards, featuring some book-related vocabulary.

Launched in 2018 by Bookselling Ireland, Irish Book Week encourages everyone to visit their local bookshops and discover the joy of books. It has since grown into a nationwide celebration across Ireland.

Why not celebrate with a good book and a few new Irish words?
