Irish pronunciation

[Dilbertian]

How do you pronounce the Irish PM's title, please?

Tea shock is what happens when you give Lyons to a Barry's drinker.

In this house we go between Barrys and Punjana (which has a lot of jingles, UTV adverts always had a wee song). We turn the moment golden, then sing Pick Punjana tea.

MotherForkinShirtBalls' description of how to say the 't' sound at the beginning of a word in Irish is perfect.

That is absolutely true of my mother, @JaneJeffer. There’d be murder.

@JaneJeffer at the risk of sounding anti-Irish tea (hard t this time), I'm a confirmed Yorkshire Tea cailín and have been known to travel some distance to score a pack. Needless to say, I have a spare box in the press during this difficult time...

@JaneJeffer 😂

I have no difficulty with the soft T made by touching the top of the tongue to the back of the teeth instead of to the palate, but the second syllable is another matter. Any of shock/shuck/shook/shack can sound like any of them in any number of English-language dialects or accents! So, in truth, I can now make a decent attempt at pronouncing the word correctly - but it will probably still be wrong

Hi Drama 👋
