Irish Language Classes in Luxembourg ( 2014-10-03 )

At the moment there are no Irish classes in Luxembourg, however Cumann Gaelach (CG) are looking into how to establish a class for beginners.

You can check out these online courses below. The one run by the Philo-Celtic Society (PCS) is completely free. Just set up a Yahoo account and register online on their website, then select the ‘Starting To Learn’ class, which will teach you 95% of Irish phonetics.

#2 is http://www.bitesizeirishgaelic.com/ and has a very good stock of online resources.

Have a look at http://www.gaeilge-resources.eu/ as well,

and finally, Gaelchultúr’s ranganna.com. This course is not free but it is of a very high standard.

If you wish to make a start immediately on your own, arrangements could be made to lend you some Irish Language books for beginners, one which comes with a CDROM.

If you have any further questions, just E-mail: meitheal@gaelach.lu

 Le gach dea-ghuí / With every good wish.
