Which word do you think is pronounced incorrectly? They are all well pronounced. The phonetic transcription, which isn't even IPA, is just a guide. It is the audio you should be focusing on, not the transcription as such. The audio files do not read the transcriptions out, just the actual words. Also in the exercises below, if you click on the sentences, they are read too, but it may not be obvious which words have audio.

I'm not sure why you are in Chapter 9 after a few days. You are not learning properly. Go to Chapter 1 and study that and don't look at Chapter 2 until you know everything in Chapter 1 well. You will not learn well otherwise. This is good advice.

You will notice the speaker reads súistíbh as súistí and málaíbh as málaí in the exercises to Ch9. This is because the dative plural is obsolescent, but found in literature.

Yeah, I'm gonna start in chapter 1, but I'm just having trouble to get the audio component to work. I'm not computer savvy. I'll work on it today though and come here and annoy you if I can't get it working lol.

Sorry to bump this dead thread... But I'm working on getting the "built in audio" for the Teach yourself Irish to work.

So I highlight a part of the PDF and ask it to "read aloud", and it gives me the best phonetic reading it's capable of. However, it's definitely not correct Irish, as it's pronouncing (for example) "bh" as, well, a b and then an h.

I was thinking maybe I was getting it to read in the PDF/adobe reader, whereas this PDF is special somehow and there is a different way to get it to read out loud such that it pronounces things correctly.... There must be a way to get the reader to pronounce things correctly, why else would y'all have recommended me get it?

It does not use Adobe's text to speech option if there is one. It has nothing to do with that.

The only parts with audio embedded are the vocabulary lists and the sentences in the exercises. Usually there is a faint yellow box around the word or sentence with audio embedded, and then you can press on that. If you hover over a word in the vocab lists, it should be obvious.

For example, on p60 click on the word aibidh at the top of the page. Make sure your speakers have the volume turned on.

I didn't get the audio to work in the pdf, but I didn't need it - I just used the audio.
It's e.g. on Youtube too.
