Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Turas Teanga consists of 20 units, each representing material contained in a single programme. It is illustrated with cartoons and photographs featuring series presenter, Sharon Ní Bheolain.
The book is presented bilingually. In addition to the main instructional text, there are boxed features on useful information such as common greetings, the various ways of saying 'where are you from' in Irish and other such common phrases of language.
