Where blas. differs
SSiI is excellent for speaking. These are the places where blas. fills in what audio-only cannot reach.
Reading and writing
Graded reading passages from A1 to C1 with comprehension questions. Writing exercises tied to grammar.
Mutation drilling
Séimhiú and urú drilled with the triggers visible. Not memorised by ear from full sentences.
Three dialects, switchable
Connacht, Munster, and Ulster all ship. Switch any time. Audio and vocabulary follow your pick.
Visual learning surface
On-screen text, conjugation tables, and progress tracking. Useful when you are not in a place to talk out loud.
Try an Irish mutation drill
This is the kind of focused, on-screen practice an audio course cannot offer.
Spaced repetition tracks every rule. Wrong answers come back sooner.
Apply the mutation
Complement SSiI with reading, mutations, and dialects.

Frequently asked
Why try something other than SaySomethingInIrish?+
SSiI's audio-recall method builds speaking confidence but offers little reading, writing, or grammar reference. blas. fills those gaps.
Does blas. cover the same dialect as SSiI?+
blas. presents standard Irish (An Caighdeán Oifigiúil) and flags Munster, Connacht, and Ulster forms in vocabulary where they diverge.
Can I do both?+
Yes. SSiI for speaking drills and blas. for grammar, reading, and writing is a strong pairing.
