the most easy is to go on website we post on and to listen it , because in ireland there are 3 different dialect and the prononciation change if you are in Doneagal (dun na ngall )or in the connaught (connatcha ) . the part with speak the gael language is called the gaeltacht .
in the BBc northen , you can go on blas , there is audio and you can find too a game for learn call colin and cumberland , it's free .
in irish saying too , there is audio and there saying the 3 dialects .
for begging it's good . tog go bog é ( take it easy )
well , tog o bog

I saw the answer you gave Isis. It seemed right to me. I'm learning the scottish gaelic dialect, and the differences are minor but significant. You've got the lenition figured out, where the placement of an "H" in the word affects it's pronunciation. In some phrases the intensive word describing the adjective causes the adjective to be Lenited. For example: the english phrase "Very good" in gaelic is
Gle mhath, whereas the word "good" by itself is "math".
Also in Scottish gaelic, all nouns are either masculine or feminine. when a noun is feminine, the word describing it is lenited. since "morning" is a feminine word, the word "good" is lenited; "Maidin mhaith" (for your irish translation) or "Madainn mhath" (in scottish gaelic).
Some examples of feminine nouns can be found at http://www.erinsweb.com/gaelic95.html
I don't expect this answer to be exactly what you wanted, but it would help if i knew which words you were struggling with.
