@StrawberryArmada I've been learning some Irish and Scots Gaelic through music and poetry. I can't converse in the language, or really form a sentence on my own, but have mostly memorized phrases. Listening to the music really helps with pronouncing the words.
I made a massive playlist of Gaelic music if you would be interested in that.
@John O - Any way you could post a new link to the language server? Thank you.

@everyone
Thanks!!
are language learning discussions still on the separate server?
Any native German speakers? I've been learning on Duolingo for a while now, but the voices are computer generated. How exactly does one pronounce the word "milch" ?
Meelkh
Is there any sort of "sh" sound?
I have a feeling the robovoice is a little distorted.
Not on that word.
That I understand.
Pretty sure the ch in milch is like the one in ich and unlike the one in nacht
I think the best approximation of the sound is the h in the word “hue”
OK, so there is an exhalation of air at the end?
Kind of catlike
The male and female voices seem to differ a bit too on the pronunciation.
It’s a fricative, so there’s a puff of air. Like English F or sh
It’s not a stop, so there’s air.
It's hard to say it 🙃
It takes some time for sure
In some dialects of English (including general American) it’s the same sound that’s in “human”
The h glide sort of thing
Not everyone says it like that
Most people do though
I will practice! Thanks for the assist you two.
It’s much more toward the front of the mouth than the ch in noch
That one’s way in the back, this is at the alveolar ridge
Np man
