Tráthnóna maith.
Good evening.
Rises with showing up and trying, not with being right. As it rises, she leaves the schoolbook behind for the way Connemara actually talks — that's the lesson.
Decks are built from your actual Duolingo units — tell Pete which one you're on and what it covered. Each unit becomes vocabulary, pattern, and sentence cards on a real spaced-repetition schedule, and you review every one before it goes live. Brí's compendium is on its way as a deck too.
She speaks at your unit's level. You answer out loud — tap the mic, speak, tap again to stop (or let it stop on its own). Each of your turns gets two marks: content (did you answer what was asked) and form (was the Irish right). A valid Munster or Ulster form is never marked wrong.

Paste a sentence, a sign, a line from Duolingo — and ask why. She explains in English, with Irish examples, and hands the work back to you.
Every correction logs itself. Once a week — or whenever you tap — she reads the log and names the two or three things actually worth drilling.
One minute, any topic, in Irish. Don't stop to be perfect. It's kept so you can hear yourself change — by the time you land, you'll hear how far you've come.
Tap to start. Tap again to stop early.
A plain page — unit retention, mistake patterns, speaking pace, hours — with no character and no points on it. Something you could show a teacher, or just keep.
When you tap the mic, the app records a short clip and sends it to ÉIST, the Irish speech recogniser at Trinity College Dublin (abair.ie) — nothing on the phone, and nothing in Amazon's cloud, can recognise Irish. Their terms say they may keep recordings to improve the recogniser. The tutor only ever sees the text, and you see it first. Voice-journal recordings are stored only in your own private space, and you can turn them off below.
It's your data. Take it with you any time.
Tap a reset twice to confirm.
