About this game

LingoBrain is both a game which helps you learn the vocabulary of the Irish language, as well being an offline English - Irish dictionary with over 7500 words.


• Train and build your vocabulary using multiple choice questions.

• Unique machine learning algorithms enable LingoBrain to learn as you play, and target your personal weaknesses to specifically improve them. The more often you play the better LingoBrain gets to know you, and the more effectively it can help you learn.

• Waiting at a bus stop, or at the doctor's office? How about comfortably learning 5 new Irish words while you wait?

• No tedious typing or superfluous clicking around.

• Create a list of personal favourite words.

• 7500 Irish - English terms sorted into 4 difficulty levels (Easy, Middle, Hard & Expert) based on how often they're used by native speakers, and thus how important.

• Search/Filter for any word in the lists.

Offline (no internet connection required) Irish-English dictionary with over 7500 words.

• Dynamically show/hide example sentences.

Sort lists as desired (based on last answer, rating, alphabetically, favourite etc.).

• Train your passive and active vocabulary. Dynamically switch the language from which questions are chosen (and thereby the language from which the correct answer must be chosen).


No more need to use flashcards or scribble on vocabulary lists. Let LingoBrain do the organisation and keep score for you on your smartphone or tablet, whenever and wherever you have a few moments to spare.

Start with the Easy Level and work your way up. Stop after you've gotten about 10 questions wrong. Review the correct answers if you wish. Then replay the game and LingoBrain will automatically ask you those questions first you got wrong (most often). Mark any questions as favourites as you play.

Learn Irish the clever way and train your Lingo Brain.

Note: This app is free and fully functional, but only comes with a limited number of questions installed by default - enough so that you can try it out and see if you like it. If you want more questions you can purchase Level Packs within the game.

I would find it beneficial to hear the word that comes up instead of after answering. Big delay in audio when trying to hear the word after answering. I had to constantly Google pronunciation of words which made it frustrating. Maybe it's my phone but the dictionary failed to load. Now, despite the difficulties. This app got me working to learn more words and work on pronunciation regardless of having to YouTube and Google them. The app is great overall but frustrating to new speakers

Hi Coinin. The pronunciation feature has been significantly improved, and now also works offline (reducing the delay you may have been experiencing). Additionally, there is a new "auto pronounce" feature where the question gets automatically pronounced when posed. Please email me if you are still have any problems, and I'll be happy to help.

After only 2 games i think this is a fantastic resource! Great for learners at all levels to learn new vocab& sample sentences. Overall a great resource and looking forward to getting the additional language packs for the app! A few more games in the different categories first! This should be a 4.7 to near 5 *! 1 minor gripe being an option for changing the canúint for pronunciation? It sounds like Munster pronunciation ...ach b'fhearr liom canúint uladh faraor... ;) Also needs an FAQs pg.

Hello and thanks for the kind review. Glad you find the app useful. Currently, there is generally only one pronunciation for each word. Will be happy to add your suggestion to the wish list, though.

The audio example feature upside-down! Look, the use of English letters with Irish can generate confusion as it is, since the way in which they are used can differ wildly, but you sure as Hell don't make the learner stare at something that may be quite confusing, and then give them the audio pronunciation example AFTER they have gone onto the next word. Dumb. The developers suggest this app is for basic vocabulary drill. Use DuoLingo with Rosetta Stone or online courses from DCU instead.

Thanks for the feedback. The pronunciation feature has been significantly improved, and now also works offline (reducing the lag you may have been experiencing). Additionally, there is a new "auto pronounce" feature where the question gets automatically pronounced when posed. (ps. As far as I know, Duolingo has little or no pronunciation for Irish)
