Irish Language 1 (Beginners)

If you have already completed this course once and would like to continue through the rest of the Enjoy Irish! material take a look at Irish Language 1+.

Take your first steps in learning one of Europe's most fascinating and expressive languages. These classes, based on our Enjoy Irish! multimedia course, will guide you through the basics of the language, offering you structured lessons with a practical emphasis on the spoken language. Participants will be provided with learning materials and audio files from the Enjoy Irish! course in advance of each class. You will have plenty of opportunities to practice what you learn in a relaxed and enjoyable environment.

The course is aimed at those who have not studied Irish before or those who may have been learning Irish on their own without many opportunities for face-to-face interaction with native speakers. If you previously attended some lessons but have fallen out of practice you may also find you benefit from revisiting and reinforcing the fundamentals.

Timetable

Participants will attend one class per week from 7.00–8.30pm (Irish time) on either Monday or Wednesday evenings. You must choose the night on which you will attend (if available) on registration. The course includes eight live online classes starting February 12th, 2024. This season, there will be a 4-week break in the middle of the course, starting March 11th (further information).
