☘️ What students have to say about the course☘️


"I enjoyed so many things about this course! I loved that the course started with simpler poems and then built on these, as this gave me the chance to practise my pronunciation, gain a sense of achievement and stay motivated as I went along.

Another aspect of the course I found helpful was being able to do it at my own pace, pause the video lesson or do the lesson again when I needed. As someone from Leinster, I really enjoyed learning some of the small differences with the Munster dialect! Super interesting!!" - Aoife
