Ionnsaich
Learn Scottish Gaelic free, with a real Gaelic voice
Free Scottish Gaelic practice with a real Gaelic voice: a daily session, 13 lessons, 16 listening conversations, games and flashcards, all built on 225 hand-checked phrases with IPA and respelling. Plus an AI conversation partner. No sign-up needed.
Halò, Product Hunt! 👋
I'm Rod, and I built Ionnsaich (YOON-sich, Gaelic for "learn"). [One or two sentences on why: what got you learning Gaelic, or who you built it for.]
The thing I kept running into: none of the big voice services (Azure, Google, Amazon, ElevenLabs) support Scottish Gaelic, so most apps can't say anything they don't have a recording for. Ionnsaich uses Ceitidh, a real Gaelic voice from CereProc in Edinburgh, so every phrase is spoken in Gaelic rather than approximated by an English voice.
What's in it, all free and without an account:
• Today: one short session a day (word of the day, due flashcards, listening questions)
• 13 lessons, from Hello and goodbye to The past and the future
• 16 short listening conversations you follow by ear, then take a part in
• Three games, flashcards, a quiz and grammar drills
• Every phrase shown in Gaelic, IPA and an English respelling
• An AI partner to practice conversation at your level
• Works offline and installs to your phone
On accuracy, straight up: Gaelic is a low-resource language and no AI translates it reliably. The 225 core phrases are written by hand against Am Faclair Beag and LearnGaelic and marked verified. AI answers are marked as AI. [Where the native-speaker review stands, e.g. "Two fluent speakers are reviewing the phrasebook now."]
If you speak Gaelic, I'd love corrections, especially on pronunciation, which leans Hebridean. If you're learning, tell me what's missing.
Tapadh leibh! 🏴

Who hunted Ionnsaich?
Ionnsaich was hunted by Rod Trent. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it.
