Title: Irish for linguists
Review: This book is brutally fast-paced, and seems to assume a pretty solid knowledge of linguistics. For example, in lesson 2, it states, "A second person singular pronoun, e.g., tú, tusa, is used wen addressing one person. A second person plural pronoun, e.g. sibh, sibhse, is uned when addressing more than person. The plural is not used to express politeness or formality". That last sentence would be utterly cryptic to someone who has never studied a language that makes a T-V distinction. On the other hand, if you're already a polyglot, this book is probably exactly what you're looking for.As a side note, the binding is not very good. I've owned the book for one week and the pages are already falling out.
Is the review positive or negative?
