  1. It may not be as easy as getting a dictionary and looking up the words.

    For instance you want to know how to say 'you' the way the Irish would. This could all depend on the context in which it was used or the county accent.  There are many variations in accent and word usage, possibly as many as 32 different dialects, one for each county in Ireland;

    You singular can be as intended 'you' or 'yah' or 'yeh'. plural it can be 'yiz' 'yous' or 'yee'

    I rounded up a few sites for you on the subject, I hope you don't end up more confused than when you start:
