Irish Language Classes

Why not investigate the free Irish language classes on Tuesday evenings and Saturday mornings at the Cluborganised by the Canberra Irish Language Association (CILA).  Classes are available for those new to the language and for more experienced students.  Experienced Irish speakers lead the classes and text books and CD's are often available at discounted prices.  Students must be members of the Irish Club and CILA.

( There is a growing interest in Irish, so new volunteer teachers / helpers are always welcome. You do not need to be a trained teacher of Irish.  Just enjoy sharing the language with very keen students! )
