Come learn Irish (Gaelic) basics this summer at the Center!

An introductory, four-week, 8-hour course of Irish language instruction and practice for adults and teenagers at the Irish Center! 6 – 8 pm, Mondays in July (July 6, 13, 20 and 27) and, with enough interest, repeated Tuesdays in August.

Focusing on the stuff you really want to know: Your name and phone number; Count to 12; Pronunciation Rules; Days of the Week; Colors; 13 Familiar Phrases (“How are you?” etc.); 20 “I” phrases (“I want…” I like…” etc.). A more-fun and less-studious course that complements all IMCC Irish language classes. Great for the whole family getting ready for a trip to the old country!

Fees, Instructor, to sign up: $80 for adults 20 and older; $60 for ages 12 – 19. Bring a teenager or two.
