GUEST,Keith Lucas How to learn to pronounce Gaelic (28) BS: How to learn to pronounce Gaelic 28 Aug 06


Have been listing to a lot of a Scottish Band named Runrig and working out a lot of their songs, fantastic band, trying to learn how to pronounce Gaelic the way it sounds compared to the way it's written, for example in the song The Stamping Ground in each verse after the main verse is sung in English there's a Gaelic line added that means (theres a new grass growing on top of the soil), this is how it is spelled in Gaelic (Tha feur ur air bar an tallamh, bar an tallamh horribh o)
   I have found some web sites which teach Gaelic but being honest I'm not as good at book learning as I am hands on learning, any help with this would be greatly appreciated as Runrig also have some songs sung entirely in Gaelic which I would love to learn.
