Our Story

Two friends, one mission: bringing the Irish language back to life

🏠

Growing Up

We grew up in Ireland hearing fragments of Irishβ€”from our grandparents, in school, on signsβ€”but never truly living it. Like many Irish people, we felt a deep connection to something we couldn't quite grasp.

🎯

The Mission

We wanted to create something comprehensiveβ€”an app that teaches Irish through multiple learning styles, with authentic pronunciation, cultural context, and modern technology working together.

πŸš€

The Solution

Sionnach combines the best of everything: structured lessons, interactive exercises, authentic audio, cultural stories, and progress tracking. It's designed to work however you learn best.

Complete Irish Learning

From your first "Dia dhuit" to fluent conversation, Sionnach provides everything you need to master Irishβ€”structured lessons, interactive practice, authentic pronunciation, and cultural insights.

πŸ“š

Comprehensive Learning System

Verb-based lessons with Standard, Listening, and Speaking modes. Track your progress with XP, daily streaks, and detailed statistics.

🎧

Multi-Dialect Audio System

πŸŒ™

Modern Learning Experience
