I thought I'd post some of the web tools I have found in my quest. I'd also like to hear from some of you on some sites I should check out. Yes, I know the only/best way to learn is in Éire and/or find me a girlfriend who speaks the language... but that's just not in the cards at the moment. wink

Dictionary
http://www.irishdictionary.ie/home <-- (It's kind of crappy but handy. )
http://www.focal.ie/ <-- (Hard to use sometimes.)

Phonetics and Speech Laboratory Trinity College
(This will take any sentence and actually speak it to you. One of the best tools I have!)
http://www.abair.tcd.ie/index.php?page=synthesis〈=eng

Software
Nualéargais - Seans Eile (Really nice program for learning the basics!)
http://www.nualeargais.ie/seansEile/download.php?teanga=&menu=seansEile

Spell checker (Firefox)
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3090/

Hope these haven't been posted a bunch already and hope it helps!

... and how the hell do you ask, "Is this useful?"

An bhuil an-úsáideach é seo? <-- that took me 30 minutes... stressed

I found this. It's a free download, pretty decent. They have a whole bunch of languages to chose from, including Irish.
