There are a lot of opportunities to mispronounce Irish place names. Here are a few I've picked up in conversations with folk in Ireland. I'm sure there are others:
Beara: (BEAR uh) Two syllables, not three like I'd been pronouncing it since we started planning this trip.
Castletownbere: (Kassel tuhn bear): "ton", not "town"
Dursey: (Duhr zee) zee, not see.
Yogi has some great advice for you guys if you get lost - one of his most famous quotes - "If you come to a fork in the road - take it".
