Hallo,
well this thing with the madra is, that it really works.
I have a japanese dog born here (8 months old puppy) and practise japanese with him. And if I pronounce it correct, he looks curious with his head turned sidewards (cute! like a teddy bear) or opens his mouth and lets his tongue hang around, what looks like smiling.
This is usefull if you need a nice picture of the pet. I can imagine that working with Irish too.

I don't know if any of you have seen this, but I've been using it to convert Real audio files (Raidió na Gaeltachta) to normal wav. files so that I can burn them to CD's. Really good for a long journey:
http://www.freecorder.com/
I would deffinately as you can download it for free, open it up, and then go to settings and change the audio line to microphone, so it records what is playing on your speakers.

I hope this suggestion isn't too obvious, but O'Dónaill's dictionary, Irish-English, is invaluble (at least to me). It has the genitive and plural of each noun; irregular verbs in most of the tenses; and loads of information on prepositions (like all the prepositional pronouns and suchlike). It's got lots of nice little phrases and constructions too. I can't say I know where to get it outside of Ireland though ...

I'm saving up for that one as we "speak" . . .

I tune in to RnaG and leave it on in the background while I'm at work or when I'm screwing around the house. I'm actually surprised at how much I can understand. Plus, it's blazing away in the background, so I know that some of it is sinking in somewhere.
