I think you'll find that Rabhlaí Rabhlaí is a book and CD of nursery rhymes rather than stories, but anyway it's one of my favourite books in Irish.

Darach Ó Tuairisg is from Conamara (Indreabhán I think)

Remember he was Liamín in Ros na Rún years ago.

I never saw/heard Ros na Rún. It was before FRG. Féabar RG (Roimh Gaeilge)

:computer:

Do you not watch the current season on Ros na Rún?
It's good for hearing natural spoken Irish.

I am not aware of how I can watch it in the United States. The usual TV programming in Irish is blocked. I called Dish Network to see if I could pay to get it by satellite and they just said, "Oh I am sure there are many programs that originate in Ireland". Had a hard time explaining I was talking about a language not a country.

Yup, it's Munster Irish.

MO CHAITÍN

Tá caitín agamsa atá bán agus buí,
In aice na tine a bhíonn sé ina luí.
Ní féidir leis leamh, ní féidir leis scríobh,
Ní labhrann sé focal le muintir an tí.

Bímse ar scoil ag obair go dian,
Is mo chaitín ag baile ina chodladh faoin ngrian.

(and there's a nice picture of the cat sleeping on a rug before the fire in the hearth)

Opps Sorry, I thought you were talking about the video I posted Feaber.

Small typo. :prof:

(There is a word leamh, but it wouldn't fit the context.
