The internet archive's inability to reflect accented vowels and other special characters is particularly maddening here. Argh. |

For the hell of it, I sent Dr. Stensen an email earlier this afternoon and she responded already. Lamentably, she doesn't have an electronic version of the workbook. She suggested the Gaelic-L archives. |

I have MS Word versions of all of her lessons and answers -- I think there are one or two lessons where the accents came through as weird text, but that can probably be cleaned up. I pulled them from the GAELIC-L archive and the original site quite a few years ago. If it would be helpful, I could validate that they look ok and pop them up on my website or somewhere else. Might take me a few days, though. Is anyone interested? It sounds like it, but I don't want to step on anyone's toes if they've started things already. |

Why not? I pulled them off the G L archive too and decided I would clean them up if no one turned out to have done so too sold!

I'll poke at this a bit today and pop a link of here when they are finished. I haven't looked at them in a while, but I'm quite sure that they are in pretty good shape. I found these exercises (well, the ones I have gotten through) to be very, very helpful. |

Domnhall? Could you send me the current email address for Dr. Stenson? I'm putting up a word version of the exercises now, but if she is amenable, I can host html/forms versions of the exercises and answers, but I wanted to make sure that it was ok with her to make them available in that format. I know they're available on the GAELIC-L archives for anyone who wants to snag them, but this seems a step beyond that. The lessons can be downloaded from: phouka.com/stenson -- nothing pretty, but let me know if you have any issues with things. (Message edited by phouka on June 23, 2008) |

Wow, you deserve a gold star and many, many karma points for doing this. You can email her at: stenson (at) umn (dot) edu (Message edited by Domhnall_Ó_h_aireachtaigh on June 24, 2008) |

Thank you! I dropped her a note - hopefully she's amenable to putting them out in interactive form again. I've got space (and time!). I'll push out the answers this afternoon (as a word doc), just to be complete. |

For everyone who wanted the answers, too, I've put those out on the same link. I also updated a couple of missing bits in the lessons themselves (notably 29, which was entirely gone, I think). There are a few exercises that don't have answers posted -- sometimes just a section or two that I can't find. Let me know if you see any errors! |

Thanks so much for posting these resources! However I could not download the answers just now, 6/26/08 at 5:22am EST. My browser said the page could not be found. (Message edited by jimnuaeabhrac on June 26, 2008) |

The download file for the answers wouldn't open for me either... By the way I'm starting all over again Learning Irish (shamefully I had stoped a while ago) and I'll be using the Nancy Stenson exercises. So I was thinking, maybe if I see any mistakes as I work along I can report them to you. |

Forgive me if the answer to this is buried somewhere in this thread. I have located the Stensen workbook, but the title page doesn't indicate the textbook upon which the exercises are based. Ceacht a hAon alludes to Ó Siadhail. Anyone? Is ait an mac an saol.

It is Ó Siadhail's "Learming Irish" |

Sorry everyone, for the problem with getting the answers -- it's definitely working for me - can you all get it now? I've pushed out the lessons in html format as well, from the same page, with Dr. Stenson's permission. I'll have the answers up in html format in the next few days as well. Nothing fancy at this point (they used to be interactive, I haven't gotten that far yet). If you find any typos or errors, though, please let me know. You can start here: phouka.com/stenson/intro.htm. |
