This entry makes the article DU worthy:

Trumpadóir – literally a trumpeter, this can also mean an obnoxious loudmouth, someone you’d like to hear and see less of.

1. Some great words, and I would love to use a few.

"I think you’ll find more than a few of these to be of great use in your daily life." Too bad the article provided no pronunciation guides.

Unfortunately, despite having at least 25% Irish ancestry, those ancestors who spoke the Irish were all dead by the time I was born. I've never actually known any Irish speakers. I have put in a bit of effort to get the basics, even of pronunciation, but being long out of childhood, when language learning comes relatively easily, my efforts have yielded very little success.

2. I grew up speaking with plenty of Gaelic, uh, endearments

which an occasional nun understood and took umbrage at. But alas, I never learned how to pronounce written Gaelic, either.

3. Try Duolingo.com

They actually have an Irish course. Can't guarantee it's
accuracy (if I could,I wouldn't need the course, now would I?), 'tho. I've had good luck with simple searches like, "How do you pronounce, 'insert non-English-word-here,'" as well...
