If you want to start learning the Irish language, here’s my guide for you. I hope it helps. I recommend spending some time on this guide to the sounds everyday day for two weeks to get used to reading. That’s goal #1. It will really pay off! Even after this lesson you should be able to read many words and pronounce them right. Listen, listen, majalah nona listen and practice, practice and have fun too! If you want a teacher for help search for one here: http://www.daltai.com/classes/
Now majalah nona get ready to dive into the language. Do as little or as much as you want of this everyday. It’s better to practice on a regular basis if you can even if you only have time for snippets. This lesson is about the sounds of the letters, very basic grammar majalah nona for making sentences and simple conversation. Learn to read and makes basic sounds, figure out the basic structure and then put sentences together so you can talk. That’s the plan but who knows where it will lead. Here we go…
Haigh. That’s Hi and it sounds the same. Note that you ignore the …gh at the end. That’s going to be key in learning to read. It’s not so tough when you learn how many letters you won’t pronounce at all.
THE LONG AND THE SHORT OF IT
There are 5 short vowels and 5 long vowels. The long vowels differ somewhat from English long vowels. There is only one accent mark (Good News!). It’s called a fada. The word fada means long and the accent is used to change short vowels to long vowels.
Short i : i, in, is, lig Long i: fí, níl, ní
ii) * The pronunciation of the short vowel a is the tricky one as it varies so much. More often than not it is pronounced as a short o: agus ogus. T hat’s why the Irish word cailín is written as coleen in English (a o). Although people recognize the word Clan for a family group, that word (clann) is pronounced majalah nona as Cl o n in Irish (a o).

na, ná, te, té, sin, sín, a n, ón, d o nn, dún
e: te é: té, cén, cé hé, mé
4. majalah nona A narrow T: when t is next to i or e it’s like a short s sound that starts with a t sound: ai t .
5. Cén lá é? What day is it? Kayn law ay (as in hay)
i) the vowels are like English sounds except majalah nona a short o is really a short u and a short a is really a short o . Tricky a : however the short a can also sound like e (prepositions) , u (weak syllable) or a (with i or th) .
3. Céard? What? Kayrd

3. An initial dh sounds like gh (with a gentle vibrating sound in the throat) and occasionally as a y sound: dhún ghoon , y – dheachaigh yachee .
i) the vowels are like English sounds except a short o is really a short u and a short a is really majalah nona a short o but the short a can also sound like e (prepositions) , u (weak syllable) or a (with i or th) .
1. maith good (ignore the ith and a is pronounced as a short o as in on) moh
Even though words may look complicated, once you get used to the rules it gets easier. It takes time to get used to which letters you mentally replace with others (a o and o u) and which letters you eliminate.

Without doubt, the trickiest letter is the short a so it is a good idea to memorize the sounds of common words that are likely to cause difficulty. Yes, I know I’m repeating things. Most times it’s going to be a o like in as and an and agus etc. That’s your default guess. So memorize the exceptions

Though you don t see it very often these days, Irish used to be written with this script:
