Weekly live Irish Language Classes with an Irish speaker/Primary School teacher. Classes are held via Zoom.

2 Levels available: THIS CLASS is Beginner Level (approx. 1st-3rd Class level Irish). We’re also offering an Improver Level Class (appx. 4th-6th Class level), available at this link: Improver Class. Read on for sibling discounts if you need both courses.

Course Description: Through one LIVE CLASS every week (see schedule below), students will understand and appreciate the language of our country. This is a school-year-long course, running from September through May.

Important Information: Parents must be present in the room for classes, as a core component of the class is ongoing weekly practise with your student.

    The teacher is lovely but the class is quite chaotic. I think there is too many participants.
