We just say Irish, or Gaelige (Irish for Irish!)<br /><br />Slán leat mo chara...rhiggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16246371823456833408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1885089363049042508.post-81287133915762307892009-04-16T10:02:00.000-04:002009-04-16T10:02:00.000-04:00I have a Teach Yourself Gaelic CD/book set that I'...I have a Teach Yourself Gaelic CD/book set that I've never used. I bought it thinking it was something I could do in the car, but alas, it's a follow-along-in-the-book thing.<br /><br />And it's the Scottish version of Gaelic, which works for me, but I'm betting you're looking more for the Irish version. Modern Irish Gaelic is a lot more phonetic (like Lugnasa as opposed to Lughnasadh).<br /><br />Problems spelling comhradh? Try pronouncing it!<br /><br />It's similar to "coverage," like "cove-raj." Those crazy Gaels had no respect for Latin letters. Or Latin invaders, come to think of it.<br /><br />-pbAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1885089363049042508.post-36326685970724806442009-04-16T09:52:00.000-04:002009-04-16T09:52:00.000-04:00I'm hoping since I only want to read it and not sp...I'm hoping since I only want to read it and not speak it I'll have an easier time.
