Gaelic, anyone?

Hello all,
Not really a travel question...but not sure where else to
post!
Will be meeting my boyfriend's extended family in Ireland
next month...they hail from Sligo, Donegal, and Derry.
I'd love to impress/surprise them by learning a couple of
phrases in Gaelic...hello, goodbye, please, thank you, how
are you, peace to you, etc.
I've come across a couple of web pages with phrases, but no
clue as to pronounciation.
Can someone help?
Many thanks for your kind consideration. Ta!

   www.travlang.com has lots of languages, but unfortunately
   not gaelic.
   
   I tried a search on alta vista - go here to get the results:

   www.travlang.com/languages does actually have all you'll
   need to know for a little everyday Gaeilge (Irish). Just
   select the Irish flag from the list and away you go. It
   lists the more common words and phrases. It does'nt help too
   much with pronunciation so try this site: www.ceantar.org
   for help with that.
   Slan agus Failte go hEirinn. Enjoy the trip.
