Learn Irish Gaelic with an AI tutor
Don't memorize Irish Gaelic (Gaeilge) - have a conversation in it. Semantix immerses you from your first message: the tutor chats in Irish Gaelic with light English scaffolding, gently corrects you, and turns what you fumble into spaced-repetition flashcards automatically. A placement chat finds your CEFR level and a structured A1-B2 path of 13 units takes it from there.
