I'm in a conversation on Facebook with a beginner who wants Munster-based self-teaching resources (book/audio, on-line, etc.) The only one I can think of off the top of my head is the older version of "Teach Yourself Irish" (and I don't have a copy, so I can't verify that I'm remembering correctly), but I'm sure there are others out there. If anyone can make recommendations, I'll pass them on to her.

There's a whole section on Munster Irish resources in the reference section. The Cork Wordpress site has audio-files for some of the verbs and Lon Dubh has posted up the TYI 1960's edition, among other things. Isn't Tús Maith produced near Dingle?

Actually, there isn't much Munster stuff directed at beginners in the "Resources" section. (By the way, does anyone know why that forum's locked? I went to give an update to Saoirse's listing for "Is Féidir Liom," which is now a complete on-line course, but wasn't able to post. A resources section isn't much use if people can't post in it!). I also seem to be locked out of Lon Dubh's page.

Sorry, I've just checked Tús Maith is in Ulster/Donegal Irish, but Teach Yourself Irish is for beginners (I always seem to be at the beginning - what about Buntús Cainte, it's not specifically Munster, but it's good way of starting.

The older version of Teach Yourself Irish is Munster, yes (and I've mentioned that to her), but as far as I know it doesn't include audio. If it does, it would be a great resource for her...it's available for about $4 on eBay.

I was of the impression that Buntús Cainte used Connacht pronunciation, but perhaps I'm mistaken about that?

Didn't someone do audio for it on the forum?

It was on 45s or 33s apparently

I'm actually rewriting my notes so the section is being rebooted.

At a basic level, if he is a beginner the only resource is the old TYI. Also try "Scéilín ó Bhéilín".

The audio files for TYI are there on the forum for you and don't forget the Pronunciation facility that's on Teanglann and there's Forvo and Rabhlaí Rabhlaí of course.
