Dia daoibh! I am from the US and I am learning Irish. I have a thing for endangered languages and would like to live in Ireland and help preserve the language.

Hello! Do you know of any comprehensive Irish pronunciation resources? Thank you :)
Hi there! Not sure if you need to just hear the words or you want to understand how Irish spelling relates to pronunciation, so here’s a bit of both;
teanglann.ie (sound samples)
forvo.com (sound samples)
smo.uhi.ac.uk (spelling and pronunciation)
wikibooks.org (spelling and pronunciation)
omniglot.com (spelling and pronunciation)

I can say without hesitation that this particular sentence did NOT make my top 100 of things I need to know how to say, in ANY language. WHY, Duolingo?!
