    HELP!-broke my cd

    I was trying to remove my cd #1 "teach yourself" Gaelic from the holder when it broke. Can anyone tell me were to get a copy without buying the whole package(book and 2 cds). I dont think it would be against the law to burn one as I am merely replacing one that I already paid for. Thanks!

    The Website should have it, and if not, check ebay. I must warn you however, as a Gaelic learner myself, many people,(including myself) have found the Teach Yourself system VERY confusing and difficult to follow, but perhaps you'll have better luck!

    Have you contacted the publisher? Perhaps they would be willing to provide a replacement if you sent them the broken CD (as proof) and a SAE (self-addressed envelope).

    Yeah, it is rather hard. It would be easier to have people to learn with than that stuff.

    Not necessarily so. My first Gaelic teacher was a native of the Isle of Mull. He would say, "this is how we say it in Mull. But if you go to Skye, they pronounce it this way, and if you go to Inverness this is how they pronounce it." On top of that he spoke with a stutter. Learn Gaelic that way? Not to easy I assure you.

    Its alot easier to do it with a person than a CD. Thats how I learned spanish, through my family and classes. Pronounciations in different regions is for every language, including english. Like Boston's pronouncing "Car", or even what something is called. Over here we called a pickup- "trucks" over there in Britain- "Lorries".

    If you know how to use uTorrent you can download it here in MP3 format.

    If you have a CD burner in your pooter then you should also have the CD audio burning software to make a new CD or just listen on your computer or MP3 player. Legal as you have already paid for it.

    Try the original supplier first though. Then make copies to use and keep the originals safe.
