If you know me, you know I am obsessed with Ros na Rún, the Irish language soap opera on TG4.tv. Below are some audio excerpts I recorded from the show which you can watch in whole here on the Internet. By isolating phrases and imitating them, I'm picking up the rhythm of Irish, and my comprehension and pronunciation is improving. So, why not for you too? Listen to the audio. Imitate what you hear. The text below the audio is my best yankee guess.
