Everyday Irish

For people who want to practice chatting about everyday life

If you have the basics of the language but you're missing the vocabulary and confidence, Everyday Irish is for you. This is a relaxed space to use the amount of Irish you already have and build your vocabulary and confidence.

Each week Jane picks a topic from everyday life and the group chats in Irish as best they can. Jane listens, joins in and corrects within the flow of conversation. Nobody is put on the spot. Before each session Jane sends a short vocabulary note so you arrive feeling prepared.

Irish in Depth

For people who can hold a conversation and want more

You're past the basics. You want to talk about deeper things in Irish: mythology, poetry, current affairs, literature, the big questions. You want to be stretched.

Each week Jane sends a short text in advance: a news story, a poem, an extract, a mythological tale. You arrive having read it. Then the group discusses it, in Irish, with Jane facilitating.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you have the basics of the language but you're missing the vocabulary and confidence, Everyday Irish is for you. If you can already hold a conversation in Irish and want to go deeper into the language, choose Irish in Depth.

Sessions aren't recorded, but Jane will send a vocabulary and topic summary after each one so you don't feel left behind.

They run at different times on Wednesdays, so it's technically possible. But six weeks of weekly speaking practice is already a real commitment. Make sure you have enough time for both.

A new round begins in January with completely fresh topics. Many people come back round after round, that's how fluency builds. There's no pressure to move up until you're ready.

Everyday Irish is designed for that, imperfect Irish is very welcome.

Jane will speak in Munster Irish but other dialects are more than welcome — it's a great way for everyone to learn new dialects.
