His lessons generally followed a grammatical theme and his selection of words seems to have generally been based on the book Séadna by Peadar Ua Laoghaire.

The male voice recordings are read by the folklorist, Donncha Ó Cróinín from Baile Bhuirne, Co. Cork. Female Voice recordings are by the Irish actress Gobnait Ní Shúilleabháin. The voice recordings were originally published by Gael-Linn Records. You can use these words to build your own vocabulary and get a sense of the pronunciation and spelling.
