The Little Book of Irishisms: Know the Irish through our Words

Such fun. Great value for the price. Highly recommend. A great read. A guide to uniquely Irish greetings, sayings, blessings and blarney.

I couldnt stop laughing! Delightful! I reread i 5 tymes and watched the suggested tv series, Father Ted!!!!! Great craic!

A fierce craic, altogether. Truly a grand and enjoyable read. More! I want so much more! Time to find more from this author.

A fun book filled with all one needs to know to get along in the old country. What I found most interesting is how many of the sayings that I heard from out of the mouths of my relatives over the years came from Ireland! Is's a great find. Although the book is small and can be carried around very easily, I did find that having a bit larger print would have been helpful

How I wish I’d had this clever little book 25 years ago when I was working with a team of Irish craftsmen when I was building my house. They tried to teach me a few handy phrases but it would have been so much fun to watch their expressions when I came back with a few of my own. I’m looking forward to a post-pandemic time when I can gather with my friends of Irish heritage and share my new-found linguistic skills. And you can be sure this book will be tucked in my carry-on for that top-of-bucket-list trip to Ireland when its safe to travel again.

Small printing and very small book . I was a bit disappointed as this was a gift .

This book is the perfect bite sized read, and it's exactly what it says it is: a fun exploration of Irish turns of phrase and what they mean. The book includes explanations of Irish idioms, names for things that are called different (or don't exist) elsewhere, and sectioned areas of Irish cultural interest. This is a great book, and will absolutely save me some confusion when I get around to visiting. I'll probably be giving these out as stocking-stuffers this Christmas.

The book itself is only 10x15cm and about 1cm thick, so it's a pocket guide! Lots of words and phrases with plenty of humor in the mix, plus a section on Irish names and how to pronounce them.

Brilliant, we all loved this book. We had a great laugh reading this.

I love this book! I’m from Dublin living in Vancouver and it’s honestly a little piece of home . I love sharing it with my vancouver pals and they can get an insight to Ireland. Highly recommend!!

Perfect gift

This book is hilarious and typically Irish. It has unique Irish words like ‘banjaxed’ as in “Well, you’ve just gone and banjaxed that now.” It has tricks to make your sentences more Irish, like adding “at all, at all” to the end of a negative sentence e.g. “I’m not venturing out in that rain at all, at all.” There is information on Irish obsessions like the weather, tea, and the immersion. There are lists of Irish names, their meanings and how to pronounce them. There’s even a section on how to impress someone with some Irish words. It’s truly a wonderful book and had me laughing out loud.

Love this, so funny. Bought one and then had to buy another two.
