Calling all beginners - try exploring the pages and clicking on them and then there are the Audio Pages and the Interactives - take your time to listen and take it in. :good:

The man who made the recordings doesn't pronounce properly... as usual. As if it were impossible to find native speakers in the country, mallacht Dé!
*osna* :rolleyes:

Which one specifically? I listened to several, and while definitely not the voice of a native speaker, they didn't sound too bad.

The pronunciations aren't too bad really. (I've only listened to snippits of it). It is a good resource for beginners all the same.
Ceacht 11 pronunciation of "an chéad" sounds a bit odd :D .

Yes I realise that the pronunciation isn't as good as Buntús Cainte for example - but I found it fun anyway

I tried http://www.isfeidirliom.ie/course_1.html

The guy said "Gwaylga", "Ard Vacka", Poblackt na Seice, is féidjur lyom (lyat etc), chonaic mé an gyalack (as if an English speaker wasn't able to pronounce a y-sound, but it looks like he doesn't know that slender gh are like y's) arayr, an francock, na frankick... uibheacka, tá an luck san "air" (in áit "tá an luch san fhéar).
I dunno why, sometimes he gets the broad gh and ch right, and other times he pronounces g and c. He pronounces certain words like in Ulster (ex: maith), others like in Munster (ex: an bhfaca)...

Gan tráCKt ar na h-r-annaí.
As I said: he pronounces as usual in learning stuff, ie. as a learner...

:bash:

I'm giving a little "Intro to Irish" class as a community service here in Navasota beginning Oct.13. It will run 6 weeks and I chose to use the "Is Feidir Liom" this time because it is user friendly and colorful and people like having something in front of them. I used Tús Maith last year, and it's too much unless someone is seriously committed.

My goal is to just "Introduce" people to the language and culture. Hopefully I'll get people just speaking a few words on the streets of my small Texas town. I'll have them do conversation exchanges with each other, and then they'll have the little course to learn some vocab. on their own time. I agree with Bríd that it has some real merits.

I always like to remind myself that any Irish is better than no Irish. (at least that's how I feel about it).

I agree with that - there's something to be said about inconsistency.

I agree too if it is that bad. I only listened to a few sentences of it. Apparently Lughaidh listened to all of it. :)
