GRMA for all your help. These are great threads.
I'm really glad you find them helpful. I will do a second thread on vowel combinations and which syllable gets the emphasis. (I don't want to overwhelm this thread with too much information.)

Wombat,
Thanks for the input. You did pick out all of my mistakes the consanant clusters threw me, and also the vowel combinations with the fadas. I was pronouncing them with two syllables.
Other than that I will give myself a pat on the back and await the next lesson.

Can you be more precise about the problems you have?

The problem I've been having is the rolling of the tongue and what I hear as
slurring of other words. The second link you provided is terrific. I can hear
the sounds where I am having the problem and over time will be able to
correct myself. Self-teaching is not the best for learning the Irish language.
Does anyone know of Irish language classes in southern New Jersey not far
from Philadelphia? Thanks.
