I have started to learn Irish this week and have been exposing myself to the language online as much as I can by listening to Irish radio. I have written down nearly 100 common Irish words, their English translation and how it is pronounced on flash cards. So far this week, I've picked up some basic words and phrases with little to no effort (hello, how are you, my name is, I am from, thank you, I, we, this, etc.) but now that I'm all prepared with my flash cards, ready to really dive in, I feel stuck. How many words should I be memorizing each day? Should I start by trying to pronounce the words first then attach the meanings to them? When should I start looking into grammar and creating sentences? (I'm a bit intimidated by the grammar!) Help!
