    From Pimsleur Irish,

    “Tuigim beagán Gaelianne”.

    I’m not sure what has modified “Irish”. Is it the beagán? Why?

    Many thanks!

    Gaelainne is the genitive of Gaelainn. beagán means “some, a little (bit),” and to say “some, a little (bit) of something,” you put the something in the genitive after it: thus beagán Gaelainne means “a little bit of Irish.”
