Irish language for beginners: Thursdays 6:30- 8 pm. Join Karen Donoghue on a 10-week introductory crash course in Irish, suitable for complete beginners and those who never liked it in school but keep saying they’d love to learn it now. No prior knowledge of the language is necessary. With a degree in Irish and Translation Studies from NUIG and years of Gaeltacht living under her belt, Karen has been teaching Irish to beginners, in Ireland and America, for over 10 years. Through basic greetings and vocabulary, bitesize bits of grammar, and a helping hand with pronunciation, this course will focus on developing spoken Irish but also offers written notes for cues. There will be 10 classes in total (Sep 8, Sep 15, Sep 22, Sep 29, Oct 6, Oct 13, Oct 20, Oct 27, Nov 10, and Nov 17). Cost of course: €125 / student & unwaged €100.
