    Hi, I'm looking for an Irish pronunciation website, but can't seem to find ANY!:eek:
    Can anyone recommend me one?
    I have a link of a German one that's exceptionally good, so I'm looking for something like that.
    but if you're not bothered to have a look (like I would be), I've briefly explained what it's like below the link...

    http://www.dict.cc/

    Basically, you can seach any word in the German language, & when you click on it, you can hear how it's pronounced. If there's nothing there, you can record one yourself, or just simply request a recording. :)

    I doubt there's anything this advanced, so just let me know what you have, thanks...

    Also Jay there's a software you can get called 'EasyReader'- I have it myself and it's really good, It gives the pronunciation in all the main dialects. Great way to hear all the different sounds if later (like me) you find that you want to concentrate on one particular dialect!

    Anyway, just so ya know it's out there.
