Is this you?
You have Irish. You can hold a conversation but you want more: more fluency, more vocabulary, more confidence with complex ideas. You're not interested in going back to basics. You want to use the Irish you have and push it further through real topics that interest you.
What this class is
Six weeks, six topics. One live conversation class per week built entirely around a real theme: culture, current affairs, literature. Each week Jane introduces the topic with key vocabulary and a short text or news piece. Then the group speaks in Irish, about things that actually matter. Grammar arises naturally from the conversation.
6 Topics
- Poem
- Prose extract
- Poetic dialogue
- Irish myth / legend
- News story of the week
- Ceisteanna Móra Debate
What's included (€165)
