Buntús Cainte

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Buntús Cainte (English: Basic Speaking) was a programme aimed at teaching the Irish language that was broadcast on Radio Telefís Éireann in Ireland, beginning in 1967. The show was presented by Máire O’Neill and Aileen Geoghegan.

The programme catered for people with little or no Irish. Phrases were spoken by the presenters in both Irish and English, and were also overlaid (in Irish) on a simple static cartoon relating to the phrase.
