Need Help With Gaelic Pronunciation!

From: GUEST,Undine

Hello. It appears I'm going to need to learn to speak a bit of Gaelic, or at least be able to pronounce it fairly well. Can anyone recommend the best way to learn, so I can both understand and be able to sing some of the lovely Gaelic ballads? I've checked several websites on pronunciation and have a Gaelic dictionary, but I cannot seem to make any headway with either. Is there a good website, or would someone recommend learning tapes or books? Thanks to anyone who can help.

Where do you live? We might be able to help if we knew that.

I live in the United States. Does that help?

......where is that Sorcha, I know I have found it before but now - ???
Undine if you put 'gaelic' in the filter box and set the age box to a couple of years then hit refresh you will get lots of threads some of which will be of interest

Two things, Undine.

1 - Which Gaelic

2 - Where in the USA? there are locations which have Gaelic learners groups.
