Stop freezing.
Start speaking Irish.
Whether you're a complete beginner or you learned Irish in school or always felt a pull towards the language, you're in the right place.
Most people don't struggle with Irish because they lack words, they struggle because they've never had a real chance to speak it.
Gaeilge le Jane is the place for people to build confidence through conversation, culture and guided practice in a supportive environment.
Learn with Jane and start using Irish from day one.

"Jane is an incredible teacher for anyone at any level. She is patient, kind, and understands where you can benefit best from her lessons. Cannot recommend highly enough."
"Jane is a phenomenal teacher. She is warm and friendly and puts me at ease, which encourages me to speak as much Irish as possible. Classes with Jane are so much fun and I learn so much every time."
"I feel like I learned more and improved my Irish more than at any point in my learning journey so far. It wasn't just Irish language learning in isolation — it was a holistic experience that showed you everything the Irish language is rooted in."
"Not alone is Jane a native speaker, but her training, qualifications and innate skills as a facilitator are of the highest standard. This course exceeded all my expectations."
"Jane is everything you'd want in a language instructor — a native speaker who is not only a gifted teacher but also very kind, encouraging and extremely patient. If you have ever wanted to dive into the Irish language, Gaeilge le Jane is where you want to start."

A teacher who grew up speaking Irish
I grew up surrounded by Irish in Gaeltacht Mhúscraí. I speak a dialect called Gaelainn na Mumhan, Munster Irish. It's the dialect I grew up with, the one I studied to Masters level and the one I've been teaching online and in person for years now.
My classes are welcoming. I really believe that anyone who wants to speak Irish can, they just need to find the right space to do it.
