Any tips to supplement my irish classes

Dia dhaoibh a chairde, I'm doing Irish classes once a week in nuig starting in January, I'm asking for people's opinions on what's best to supplement my classes.

My Irish Journey so far is similar to a lot of people, I did it in secondary School had the same horrible teacher as my older brother, and this teacher was a mess at teaching it and I struggled with it while keeping up with my other subjects, so I dropped it while I had the chance (Dyslexia) in second year and much to my grandparents disgrace I didn't look back until college really.

When I first started out with college in Galway, I probably still didn't care that I had no Irish, until I went Interailing around Europe and all my college friends were doing as a lot of Irish people do abroad, speak in Irish to bitch about strangers and just for the craic really.

The moment that really hit hard was when I was in the dog bar in Prague and sat down next to a Brazilian gentleman, an Englishman and a few others. We were chatting away until the Brazilian man asked me 'Do you have any Gaelic?' and I responded rather harshly while staring at the Englishman

"I wish I could speak some but someone decided to come over and take it from us!"

An awkward silence fell upon the table afterwards, so I figured that I should excuse myself! The lads I travelled with thought it was a brilliant story, but deep down, I knew I turned my back on the language the first chance I got and it sickened me a small bit

When I got home, as a lot of people do to right their wrongs I downloaded duolingo and ploughed away with duolingo and a bit of supplemental reading and listening for Munster Irish and it worked! kinda......

I could read, listen and have the most basic conversations, but I got bored after a while and college got in the way, so I have regressed a bit. I tried books aswell, but I was never much of a reader.

so ya that's the story really, Any help is greatly appreciated!
