Two friends, one mission: bringing the Irish language back to life
We grew up in Ireland hearing fragments of Irish—from our grandparents, in school, on signs—but never truly living it. Like many Irish people, we felt a deep connection to something we couldn't quite grasp.
We wanted to create something comprehensive—an app that teaches Irish through multiple learning styles, with authentic pronunciation, cultural context, and modern technology working together.
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.
From your first "Dia dhuit" to fluent conversation, Sionnach provides everything you need to master Irish—structured lessons, interactive practice, authentic pronunciation, and cultural insights.
Progressive lessons covering grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, and conversation—everything you need in one place.
Listen, speak, read, and write with interactive exercises that adapt to your learning style and pace.
Learn the language through Irish culture, history, and traditions—connecting words to their living heritage.
Sionnach is your complete Irish learning companion, offering multiple ways to engage with the language. Whether you learn best through reading, listening, speaking, or writing—we've got you covered.
Interactive lessons covering grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation with clear explanations and examples.
Speaking exercises, listening comprehension, writing practice, and vocabulary games to reinforce your learning.
The comprehensive alternative to other language apps. Start learning Irish today with lessons designed by Irish speakers who understand both the language and the culture.

Every download, every lesson completed, and every person who joins our community brings us one step closer to connecting learners with authentic native Irish voices. Supporting Sionnach means putting the native speakers first, and relying on each other rather than outside entities. Together, we can preserve and celebrate the beautiful diversity of real spoken Irish. "Ar scáth a chéile a mhaireann na daoine"
