An Irish Spring of Knowledge...

Lame joke, I know. This week I've received some more materials to use on studying this difficult language. My mother, who just happens to be studying the language too, had some books and CDs delivered this week, with an open invitation to use some. Hopefully this will help with my pronunciation, and teach me some rules of thumb on how to pronounce some words. (Still don't know how duit sounds like "gwitch", but hopefully I'll learn.) This week's lesson is perhaps the most important Irish word, Erin (phonetic). Erin is the Gaelic term for "Ireland", so hopefully this will be any easy one to remember. Slainte!
