I really need a pronounciation guide to help me use the language materials i have----I am using Diarmuid's irish book and the speech is too fast for me. I found two websites with a few examples--like Dia duit (deeya-gwit), etc. does anyone know of better sites or a tape with "slow speech"? It would surely be appreciated.

The biggest publisher of Irish language books in Ireland is called 'An Gum' - you could check them out do a search and see if they have a website.
See if 'Conradh na Gaeilge' have a website either they may even have branches in the U.S.A. they aim to promote the irish spoken language - (personally I find them a bit cliquey but that's just my experience of them) I would also see if you can actually find people who can speak gaeilge fluently in your area by putting an ad in a newspaper, or notice in your local library, or any irish clubs etc in your area, and see if you can get them to teach you. www.shee-eire.com ancient ireland for all!!

There are quite some resources on the web:
The Gaelic College on the Isle of Skye: www.smo.uhi.ac.uk (also with useful mailing lists) Dalta na Gaeilge www.daltai.com Irish Gaelic Translators forum www.irishgaelictranslator.com/ "Is fearr an Gaeilge briste na Barla cliste." "Better broken Gaelic than polished English."  Sln... Roidsear |

There are many different forms of Gaelic, Scot's Gaelic is different in pronounciation and spelling than Irish Gaelic, and within Irish Gaelic there are regional variations on the same, for example the Tory Island version of Gaeilge is different to the Spiddal version. Just points to remember for the beginner which can be confusing.
The best way to learn would be to go to a Gaeltacht area and refuse to speak anything but Gaeilge even if all you have is 'gaeilge briste' Adh Mr i do lorganna. www.shee-eire.com ancient ireland for all!!

Is fior a r .
"Learning by doing" is surely the best way to learn a foreign language. Another resource I find quite helpful is: www.lincolnu.edu/~focal/ Focal an lae - The Word of the Day (including the famous "An tInneall Mallachta" - the Gaelic curse engine ) |

Hi there are a few links you could try: www.gaeltalk.com and www.Byki.net and www.gaelcultur.ie the google ads came up with these links. try www.google.ie for an irish based search site it deals more specifically with ireland than www.google.com. Sln
