I saw another entertaining short posted on another board today; don't worry, no potato humour here John!

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.

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?
