Course Summary

These courses are suitable for those who have a certain level of fluency in Irish as well as those who would have very little Irish. The main emphasis is placed on conversation – teaching basic structures, improving fluency and accuracy and expanding vocabulary.

The general reaction of former participants is that these courses are very successful and most enjoyable.
