PRONUNCIATION REVIEW

Read this passage slowly without looking at the Key below it. Then read it a second time, making use of the Key if you are unsure. Do not try to make sense of the words; concentrate on the pronunciation and on grouping the words into phrases.

Dámba léir, tháinig roinnt iascairíaici, ar an abhainn, níos mónáriamh, agus a thaithíonn an-chuid téipeanna, le linn an fheachtais seo. Beidh séchomhpháirteach, a chuireann as go mór, b'fhiúdóa chur go gcaithfeadh sé, go bhfuil leagan amach bunúsach, aríosmhéid cainte, agus chothaigh séneamhchinnteacht, ina measc.

Note that the "f" in "caithfeadh" gets only an (h) sound. This occurs in the future tense and in conditional forms of the verbs, which you will soon study.

By now, you should be losing your fear of long, new words, and you should be able to give unfamiliar words a nearly correct pronunciation. We will continue with this type of pronunciation exercise for several more lessons.
