Our annual Beginners Irish Conversation classes will commence September 10 to November 13, on ten Friday evenings 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm. The classroom is located on Mercer Island (just off I-90).
The book we are using is Colloquial Irish.
The course fee is $299.00.
There is a saying in Irish: Tír gan teanga, tír gan anam (A country without a language is a country without a soul). Language is central to culture and by learning the Irish language you will derive valuable insight into all aspects of Irish culture.
4-credit class each summer ("The Irish Language, Spoken and Sung"). Every 3rd year, a year-long program in Irish Studies (48 credits), culminating in a spring visit to the Donegal Gaeltacht for intensive language and cultural studies.
Credit available.
