Beginner Phrases in Irish for Arabic speakers

I worked on this with a member of the Syrian community in Ireland.

I hope that it will be useful and enjoyable for the Arabic speaking communities who may be interested in learning some basic words and phrases in Irish.

The QR codes will bring you to the videos to hear the pronunciations in Irish. These videos are delivered through English but they will allow you to hear the sounds of the words on these phrase cards below, as spoken by me.

The Phrase Cards can also be viewed by right clicking and opening in a new tab. (This should allow for zooming in!)

Bainigí sult astu… Enjoy!

From left to right, you will see the phrases written as follows:
