Winter 2025 Irish Language Classes at the Irish Gaelic Circle

The Irish Gaelic Circle has been teaching Irish for over 20 years now and will offer three classes for an 8 or 10-week term (depending upon the class as noted) during the Winter of 2025.  All classes meet weekly.  Classes are online.  Students will learn how to read, write, and speak Irish in a friendly enjoyable atmosphere.  Irish culture, traditions, songs, and history as pertains to the language will also be presented. Our students who decide to take the Teastas Eorpach na Gaeilge (TEG) exams have consistently done well on those exams.

New students at all levels are welcome to attend.
