365 ways to speak Irish everyday SHORTLISTED FOR THE IRISH BOOK AWARDS 2025

Make Irish an everyday habit that’s as easy as brushing your teeth!

Many of us wish we had paid more attention in Irish class and could still speak the cúpla focal. When we lose our language, we lose a part of who we are. Here, Hector makes adding an Irish word a day to your vocabulary a habit that’s as easy as brushing your teeth.

Month-by-month, through stories, words and phrases, Hector takes us through the year with words from the practical to the magical, for every season and new moon. When you start the day, you’ll be able to name the gallúnach (soap) and ubh brúite (boiled egg). And when you look out your window and see the robin is building his nest again in spring, you’ll be able to greet the spiteog through Irish. Reclaim your heritage (oidhreacht) by learning an Irish word a day and with Hector.
