Book Reviews of Teach Yourself Gaelic Complete Course Audiopack

Book Review: Pronunciation guide needs work
Summary: 3 Stars

Gaelic pronunciation is so different from English that a CD is absolutely necessary to be able to figure it out. However, the pronunciation guide on this CD is inadequate. I can hear that there are more ways to pronounce certain letters than are given in the guide (For example, the letter L pronounced as V), which leaves me pretty much at sea with getting into the exercises themselves. Even with memorization of the sounds, it may be difficult to begin.

I think they could improve the CD by including any odd pronunciations that were left out, and perhaps by giving some attention to pairs of vowels within words, which sounded like diphthongs to me. A glossary with phonetic (IPA) key would possibly be useful. But maybe that's another book :)
