A few questions, Pronunciation and lessons

Hi!

I've got a few questions on pronunciation. I've been trying to memorize the little lullaby from Disney's "Brave." Here are the lyrics:

A naoidhean bhig, cluinn mo ghuth
Mise ri d’ thaobh, O mhaighdean bhan
Ar righinn oig, fas as faic
Do thir, dileas fhein
A ghrian a’s a ghealaich, stuir sinn
Gu uair ar cliu ‘s ar gloire
Naoidhean bhig, ar righinn og
Mhaighdean uashaill bhan


It's mostly about when to use a "V" sound.

Mhaighdean and Righinn, How would they sound. Is it "Mai-Jenn" Or "Vai- Jenn" And I'm Hearing Both "Rigg- in" And "RiV-in" But what I hear means nothing, as actors usually know little to nothing about pronunciation...

Secondly, I'm seriously interested in the "Teach me!" Gaelic Computer lessons, But I can't seem to find it. The one place I wanted to get it from, I don't think is selling it anymore... If not, Do you know of any alternative that would be as good?

Thanks in Advance!!
Meggie

Well... they have it, but they don't ship to the US. Do you know of any place that does?
