Enjoy

Hello,
I've been learning Scottish Gaelic, not Irish, but this website has some
interesting pages on grammar and pronounciation that I believe apply to
both:
http://www.akerbeltz.org/beagangaidhlig/gramar/beagangramair .htm
Some of the interface is in Gaelic, but if you scroll to the bottom of the
linked page you'll find lots of good info.

Paddy:
Go raibh mile maith agat, mo cara! Beidh me ansin anocht.
My favorites are Beo and Nuacht. Also, for conversational Irish, the Irish Echo has a bi-lingual section every week. Excellent, indeed.
Slan.

I thought this was the best thread instead of starting a new one.
I've seen a used two volume-series "Irish language course for adults" for sale on the Internet. Do you know anything about it; the quality (both sound quality and "material"), dialect et.c.
I've also seen a "latest edition" Linguaphone Irish course with six cassettes and two books, different from the one I have (I think mine is from the 1970s - four cassettes, two books) . Does anybody know if it's the same "material", or what might have been added/deleted?
Picture ("latest edition")HERE.

At the moment I'm almost finished with TY Irish(5 chapters left), so I'm not sure where to go from there. It has been decent, plus the http://www.byki.com/ site has a good vocabulary learning method that helped me a lot.
Do you know if the linguaphone course would expand on that or just be review?
