The
Irish Gaelic Circle of Connecticut
Irish
Language Day
(Lá
na Gaeilge)
The Circle will offer an Irish language program at
the Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced levels in a full day event. All are invited to attend this day from those
with no Irish to native speakers.
Come and be with us if you are curious about the language, want to
improve or use your Irish or to help learners develop their skills. The informal tone of the day provides a great
way to meet other learners and Irish speakers who come from a wide variety of
backgrounds. People who share your love
and excitement for Irish culture and want to help others who want to learn
Irish.
There
will be three classes throughout the day with a lecture and workshops related
to Irish history and culture. There
will be time for breaks and lunch as well.
A book shop with Irish language books will also be available. Three fluent and gifted language teachers
will be teaching the classes and delivering the lecture. The cost for the day is $50 (students with ID
$25) including lunch and wine and cheese at the end of the day.
There will be a Book shop open as well as workshops
in singing and playing the feadóg stáin / tin whistle (Key of D).
