Learn Manx

Learn Manx is your ideal introduction to Manx Gaelic providing an exciting and enjoyable start to learning the language. Designed to encourage learners to speak, the first ten units provide you with the basic patterns needed to start using the language with the exercises and dialogues helping students to become familiar with conversational Manx.

The App will benefit anyone wishing to start using Manx as well as those who understand some of the language but who would like to refresh their language skills. With its voice-recording and playback function, the exercises encourage you to speak the language by answering questions orally and comparing your answers to model responses.

The revision lessons that accompany the course use the TT Races as a key theme and help to develop language skills in an enjoyable and humorous way.

This App is based on the Manx Heritage Foundation's successful adult language course, Saase-jeeragh.

Key features:

Hundreds of words and basic phrases to give a foundation in the language

- Respond to questions and compare with a model answer

- Dialogues and comprehension

- Summaries of key language patterns

- Integrated bilingual dictionary with audio

- Flashcard learning system to help revise vocabulary and phrases

The production of this learning resource has been made possible thanks to the very generous financial support from Sure Isle of Man.
