IRISH LANGUAGE CLASSES
CURRENTLY Meeting Online via Zoom
Monday nights in the Winter and Spring of 2024, the Celtic Arts Center will offer an online introductory class in the Irish language (Gaelic)
from 7–8PM. This class will be conducted via Zoom meeting. We have found that online instruction extends the class' reach to the public (as well as instructors) and we are also exploring ways to offer access to class instruction at the Mayflower Club during our Monday night programming in future.
Beginners/Intro to Irish Language Class:
Beginners level Irish language class starting with emphasis on pronunciation, lower level grammar and basic conversation practice. Instructor: James Murphy. Format: Online via Zoom. Class Time: Mondays 7-8PM. Texts used: Progress In Irish and Gaeilge Gan Stró – Beginners Level. All materials provided in digital format.
