How do you pronounce the Scots Gaelic word

To pronounce the Scots Gaelic word "slàinte," follow these steps:

1. Start by making the "sl" sound. Place the tip of your tongue against the back of your upper front teeth and make a "sss" sound. Then, quickly switch to an "l" sound by raising the tip of your tongue to touch the roof of your mouth.

2. Next, pronounce the "à" sound. Open your mouth wide and relax your tongue so that it lies flat in your mouth. Then, say "ah" as if you're yawning, but don't let your mouth close completely.

3. Follow the "à" sound with the "i" sound. Make the "ee" sound as in the English word "feet."

4. Finally, pronounce the "n" sound by placing the tip of your tongue against the roof of your mouth behind your upper front teeth.

Putting it all together, the pronunciation of "slàinte" sounds like "slahn-chuh."
