About this Event
These classes have been the highlight of my week. Tim fosters a great learning community, and the ANKI resources really reinforced what we learned in class. It's also super affordable, which has made it sustainable for me and my friends! - Quinn D.
Irish Gaelic Bootcamp Spring - Level 2: Buidling Vocab
Irish Gaelic is a beautiful languages with over 1500 years of history on the island of Ireland. Over 700,000 speakers of Irish Gaelic migrated to North America in the past two centuries, but few of them passed the language on to their children and grandchildren.
These lessons are designed to welcome New Yorkers of all backgrounds (whether you are Irish, Irish American, or simply interested in learning) into the growing community of Irish Gaelic speakers, giving them the tools to learn the language, and the environment to encourage them to keep doing so.
Learning a language can take years! But with the combination of ANKI (a software) and our community of speakers, we can make sure you don't have to do it all on your own.
