The sounds of Irish
Learn how to pronounce the sounds of the Irish language, hereList of books for those who want to learn Ulster Irish :
Irish On Your Own, or Now You’re
Talking (it is the same book,
but the first title is used in America and the second one in Europe)
Taisce Focal, by Róise Ní
Bhaoill and Gordon McCoy. It is a book with
little stories (not for children) in Ulster Irish, with many words and
idioms
that are used in Donegal Gaeltacht. The most difficult ones are
explained in
English at the bottom of every page. A CD is included, with native
speakers from
Rannafast reading the stories.
An Teanga Bheo: Gaeilge Uladh, by Dónall
Ó Baoill. A book in Irish that
describes the main features of Ulster Irish. It is a must-have for
those who are
interested in Ulster Irish, but I am afraid it is out of print now.
There are many other books.
