The Irish classes will be getting together with the music classes this year for the annual Christmas party:
Saturday, Dec 11th at 11 AM at the Greater Danbury Irish Cultural Center located at 6 Lake Ave. in Danbury. Students and alumni are all welcome! Bia, deoch, ceol and plenty of conversation as Gaeilge. There will be a seisiún!
The Irish Gaelic Circle is dedicated to teaching and promoting the Irish Language in the Western CT / Hudson Valley NY area in particular and in North America in general.
IRISH CLASSES
Classes meet weekly via Zoom. There are Fall, Winter and Spring Semesters each year and there are Summer classes also. The classes are taught in a friendly atmosphere with the emphasis on being able to communicate in Irish. Attendance at classes can also be done online via Zoom.
Private students and other classes for home schools, senior centers and community centers with different times and locations can be put together by arrangement.
One day Irish language programs for Festivals and events around the country can be arranged.
We have access to enjoyable single day and weekend Irish Language events in the tri-state area for those who want to take advantage of these opportunities to improve their fluency.
ESTABLISHING IRISH LANGUAGE PROGRAMS
For those areas where there are no teachers available but there is a group of interested learners, I can provide training and a program to follow for new teachers. Please contact me for details.
