Irish (Teach Yourself)

Old series Teach Yourself book, teaches Munster dialect.
Audio is integrated in the book - its working with Adobe Acrobat Reader.
This book is real goldie!
This is a quotation from Preface, page xi.
It's a very good book, and the one really complete about Munster dialect.
It doesn't give false hopes, it calls a spade a spade, and it abruptly says: Irish is not an easy language, and learning Irish means hard work and costant practice ( page x).
It's a great pity I can't find the 2 long-playing records ( or anyway a record, better on cd ) that were to be sold with the course ( see again page x, note ).
It's more a reference book than a true course book.
You are expected to learn by heart sentences like:
We asked the old man to tell us a story, but it was very long and we did not wait to hear the end of it ( to be translated ).
Well, if you can cope with this book, it means you have big courage, but little sense ( another quotation from the book, to be translated ).
