Product Description

Buntus Cainte (English: Basic Speaking) was a programme aimed at teaching the Irish language that was broadcast on Radio Telefis Eireann in Ireland, beginning in 1967. The show was presented by Maire O Neill and Aileen Geoghegan. The programme catered for people with little or no Irish. Phrases were spoken by the presenters in both Irish and English, and were also overlaid (in Irish) on a simple static cartoon relating to the phrase. Buntus Cainte is the most successful course in Irish ever, and is in continual demand. Now for the first time the course books and listening material are available as part of the same package. The material from the original recordings has been remastered and is now on audio CD attached to this book.

Fun and Easy first steps in Irish
The Buntus Cainte books and tapes are an easy way to learn some basic Irish vocabulary and simple sentences. The series is designed to be "first steps in spoken Irish," and the steps are easy to follow. The tapes and pictures are helpful and make the course fun, for adults as well as children.

very simple
Love the book! It's very simple to read for my first attempts and progresses very nicely into conversations. I haven't had a chance to listen to the cassette tapes yet (yes, cassette tapes), but I'm sure they will be just as easy to follow as the book is. I just hope my old cassette player works when I clean off the dust.
