The Suspense

Some people learning Irish are faced by the daunting task of pronouncing the words without any inkling of the language or any tools available. The suspense of what the words and phrases in the language sound like takes precedence. I was one of these people when I started trying to learn French.

For these people, I recommend About.com phonograph pages or this one here.

I was researching Scottish Gaelic to talk to a Scottish acquaintaince on Twitter when I came across this page.

Please subscribe to the Irish page, if you wish.

Those of you who want to move slowly and study categories and attain more of a visual
and recognition base for Irish, please continue on here.

I have a penchant for certain categories that include the home, the kitchen, or even work - related objects.

If you do not wish to follow these categories, create your own and work on them.

In the following days, we will work on learning words that have personal significance to us in Ireland and abroad.

To my USA readers, hope you had a wonderful holiday.

:)
