Really good work Michelle...getting the text in there with the audio...brilliant! Any timetable for Books 2 and 3? Wonder if there is a market for my BC tapes I bought at An Ceathrú Póilí a few years ago.:)

Else, you will automatically receive, otherwise unsolicited, the first chunk of an expanded course at a cost of hundreds of dollars.

Hmmm...intriguing, but on inspection I find that his "deconstructing" of Irish would have us all walking away...no running while sreaming away from learning Irish.
