How do you order a Guinness in Gaelic. I would appreciate very much if a pronunciation guide is included as my attempts at gaelic pronunciation have been disasterous.

Jim, a chara.

Ba mhaith liom pionta Guinness, le do thoil (I'd like a pint of Guinness please) - I'm going to leave the phonetics to somebody else..

Le meas,
Larry.

I'm very early in my studies, have never been to Ireland, and only know pronunciation from tapes, records, and the internet, but let me try a stab at the pronunciation:

BUH-wah-lom punta Guinness, LE-doh-hol

Notes:
(1) the caps indicate stress
(2) all the vowels are short
(3) the p in punta is like the p in the english word pure
(4) the l in the last word (thoil) is kind of swallowed so that the i is ALMOST pronounced. I've also heard it pronounced more like hel.
