"Irish On Your Own" audio

I hope someone might be able to help me. I have the book, which means that at one time I had the audio. Sadly, now when I'm trying to actually do the course I can't find the audio to save my life.

Does anyone have the audio in digital format? I'd be willing to pay a small amount for it if you do.

Unfortunately Its one of the few Irish Learning books I dont have, nor can I find any link to the audio online. Perhaps if someone here has a copy of the CD they might be able to upload it on the net ?

As a learning tool it doesnt seem to have got very good reviews.

Isn't "Irish On Your Own" the one that was also marketed as "Now You're Talking"? If so, there's someone who has been posting the videos on Facebook recently.

If it is, indeed, the same program, I'd think that would do the trick. I know that one or the other of those was marketed under a different name, but I can't remember if it was, indeed, "Irish On Your Own" and "Now You're Talking."

Yes it was - there's a review of it (which indicates the change of title) at the other place.

Cool!

Now You're Talking was a project of Éamon Ó Dónaill's, and I learned some of my earliest Irish from it.

So there you go, Kailleach...audio as well as video, free for the taking on YouTube!

I too started learning Irish with 'Now you're talking' (or 'Irish on your own' in the USA). I was given the book + cassettes seven or eight years ago by someone who'd never used it. It was already long out of print by then I think.

The youtube link is obviously from the tv version of the course. Kailleach, if you'd rather not listen to "Cad é mar atá tú?" repeated ad nauseam, ad infinitum, if you'd rather learn at something faster than snail's pace, try this link (provided by the wondrous Saoirse): http://www.liofa.eu and click on 'Líofa Resources' (on the right) in the English version or 'Achmainní Líofa' in the Gaeilge version. This is the audio accompaniment to the book - all 30 lessons.
