The AbairLeatOIDE app is Coláiste Lurgan’s contribution to supporting Irish language learners before, during and after they complete their cúrsa Gaeilge. It is being developed on an ongoing basis and in a voluntary capacity.
OIDE focuses exclusively on spoken Gaeilge as used in everyday interaction and gets learners speaking relevant, practical Irish language dialogue from the get-go.
It sets out to help learners practice conversational Gaeilge while paying special attention to the main difficulties English speaking learners have with the major differences between the English language and Gaeilge.
OIDE is a cross platform app and can be accessed on all Apple, Android devices as well as PCs and Macs. This means that signed up members can access their own OIDE accounts from all tablets, smart phones as well as all desktops.
