Have you used the Pimsleur Irish? Do you know what dialect it is? I used Pimsleur for French, and I think it's a great system and it made it very easy for me to improve my French, but I already spoke a bit of it because my Dad's bilingual. Pimsleurs' French follows the Academie Française, which has protects and sets standards for the French language. I have the Teach Yourself Irish book and 2 CD set, which teaches An Caighdeán Oificiúil, the Official Standard, but the dialogues and examples in the book don't go very far. It's all stuff like introducing yourself, getting a drink and talking about the weather and what to order for dinner. It's like a Berlitz traveller's approach, so since I don't have another book yet, I tend to run out of Gaelic very quickly, within 2 or three sentences, and all of the rest of the stuff in the book deals with grammar and it gets very complex very quickly. I'm hoping that the Pimsleur will be more conversational and allow me to speak more and learn in a more natural way. Here's the problem- My grandmother's from Donegal, so I don't want to learn the Munster dialect, only the Ulaidh like on this site, because that's what my gran and her family spoke when they came here (to the U.S.) from Eire.
