Irish Language Classes
The Irish Club is proud to have hosted Irish Gaelic language classes
for many years. This year's classes are on Tuesday evenings from 6.30pm
and Saturday mornings at 11.30am. Or just drop in to the
new informal Irish Conversation Group from 4-5pm on Saturday
afternoons.
Our classes cater for both beginners and more advanced students, but
you are welcome to just sit-in and listen. Experienced Irish speakers
and assistants lead each class. Modern text books, CD's and DVDs
are sourced from Dublin and are available for students at discounted
prices. Classes are FREE, but you must be a member of the Irish
Club and the Canberra Irish Language Association.(CILA). Students
often attend residential weekend schools in Sydney( See below) and
Melbourne and, in some cases, intensive courses in Ireland.
The Embassy of Ireland is a strong supporter of all our
classes.
( There is a growing interest in Irish, so new volunteer teachers /
assistants are always welcome. You do not need to be a trained teacher
of Irish. Just enjoy sharing the language with very keen
students! )
