Dianne --
Faced with the same situation, I've substituted sung for spoken to
further my Gaelic studies using CDs, headphones, lyrics, and a grammar or
dictionary with pronunciation guides.
If I'm able to find the lyrics on-line, I format and print that, then
scribble in as many pronunciations as I can find -- including ones I
already know. Then I mumble along with the recording a few dozen times
and things start to fall into place. It's a lot of fun and very addictive.
E-mail me off-list with more information regarding your level of
proficiency and perhaps I can make a few more specific suggestions.
Slainte mhath!

As an off-topic aside -- does anyone know of some great French lyric
folk/folkish music? I need to become fluent quickly and most of what I've
found in the libraries here is too insipid to listen to that intently.
I'm in danger of developing a Renaissance period accent. Thanks.
