Hide & Speak Irish

Tax included.

Hide and Speak goes further than most picture word books. It offers an effective and simple way to learn over 130 key Irish words following the tried-and-tested method of 'look, cover, and speak'.

Using the two wipe-clean flaps at the back of the book to cover the words or the pictures, you can practice speaking or writing the words as many times as you want.

The book is organised into 15 popular themes including school, family, colours and food. Every theme includes:

  • 9 key words with picture prompts
  • an easy guide to pronouncing each word
  • simple phrases using the key words
  • a full-colour picture illustrating the theme and phrases
