I am looking to improve my fluency and my pronounciation sa Ghaeilge, I have a decent standard/command but it could be better. Apart from the obvious which is spend a peiod of time in a Gaeltacht area, what else would one suggest? Go raibh maith agat, P. |

For sound, I suggest: get a dialect book which details the individual phones learn about phonotactics |

I find listening to Radio na Gaeltachta very helpful. There is a wide range of accents to be heard from non-dialectic "standard" to beautiful dialectic Irish from the Gaeltacht areas. I particularly like the regional news reports following the main news at 9 am. |

What kind of dialect book, I've been looking around for them and I haven't had great luck finding them all I can find is Turas Teanga (have) Buntus Cainte, and another book beginning with G which escapes me now... |

Regarding Buntus Cainte, mine finally arrived in the mail. Is the Irish on these recordings of a specific region? |

A Dhomhnaill, In my best guess Buntús is a pure Conamara in pronunciation. Spelling is caighdeán though. (Message edited by Róman on November 20, 2006) |

quote:In my best guess Buntús is a pure Conamara in pronunciation. Is fada ó d'éist mé leis... but what I recall is a Conamara basis with concessions to Munster. I once called it "cleaned-up Conamara Irish" nó rud éigin mar sin. Caminante no hay camino, se hace camino al andar.

"What kind of dialect book" The books on phonemic analysis, like http://www.celt.dias.ie/publications/cat/cat_e.html#E.2 Are you living in the US? Getting them might be less easy |
