What year is this ?

[@Irishpatty1]

It was made in the 90s.

[@TracyWoodard-r1f]

I live in West Virginia, in the U.S. would I pronounce it as West Virginia or use a different pronunciation as I learn the language

[@TracyWoodard-r1f]

Why does the Gailic pronunciation differ from the English

[@ofaoilleachain]

Because it's a different language, in a different language family, and uses a different orthographical and phonological system

[@MorfinKanin]

I'd add that english pronunciation in a way is much trickier since it is much more irregular. Almost as if you have to learn every new word's pronunciation by heart.

Maith thú!

[@bettyism_]

Why are the phone numbers so short?

[@Loughian]

elizardbeth Ireland is sparsely populated and this programme is from 1995. Do you want New York phone numbers?

[@tonyknox2406]

I used to phone the playwright Brian Friel from time to time. His phone number (in Donegal - this is Donegal Irish you're learning) - was Muff 3.

@@aduantas heavens! Síle is ice cold ❄️ Thanks for the reply brother.

[@vel0_rouge]

There was a reform of how the phone numbers worked at some point in the 90s in the UK. Before that, if you were phoning a local number you only needed to dial a much shorter number. You still needed to add certain codes to dial other parts of the country.

[@allenmurray7893]

The volume is too low.

[@Loughian]

Allen Murray turn it up then. It’s a 25 year old programme that someone kindly uploaded. Be grateful.

[@j.d.4697]

I swear sometimes Irish sounds like a made-up language from a Monty Python movie. =)
