Learn Irish Now! (Beginners - 10 months course)

CnaG Birmingham is delighted to announce our new and unique Irish course for beginners.

It will run from October 2024 to July 2025. Participants of Learn Irish Now will attend ten three-hour lessons (10 a.m. -1 p.m.) in the centre of Birmingham on the first Saturday of each month. The course includes both online and printed resources.

On our online learning platform, you will have access to short tutorials and engaging activities on all course topics. There will also be a printed course script. Optional Zoom meetings will be available between sessions.

The in-person lessons in Birmingham will focus on practising the communicative situations learned during self-study, with an emphasis on speaking.

Participants can immediately use their Irish at our monthly Popup Gaeltacht in Digbeth (held on the second Sunday of each month) and at other social activities for Irish speakers and learners in the West Midlands, organised by Conradh na Gaeilge Birmingham and Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann.

Upon successful completion of the course, Conradh na Gaeilge Birmingham will award a certificate. You should also be ready to take the TEG (Teastas Eorpach na Gaeilge - European Certificate of Irish) A1 exam at various test centres in Ireland. We hope to offer a follow-on A2 course next year.

The enrolment fee includes ten three-hour sessions in Birmingham, printed resources, access to our learning platform with interactive tasks and exclusive video content, as well as optional Zoom meetings.

Conradh na Gaeilge Birmingham is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to promoting the learning and use of Irish Gaelic in the West Midlands. The course is designed and taught by teachers for free. All course fees go towards covering classroom rent and resource creation.
