Ceol na Mara Workshop & Free Course Giveaway
A chairde, tá súil againn go bhfuil sibh maith! It’s the start of Mí Lúnasa (August), and the beginning of the harvest season in Ireland. Here’s hoping the upcoming months will be a rewarding time for us all, and a time of growth in the Irish language community.
So what’s new? Well, this Saturday we have an online workshop, titled Ceol na Mara (Music of the Sea), and on Sunday, our monthly Free Workshop takes place for all learners. Be sure to check out our competition on Instagram, to win a free 7-week course this September! See details below…
Join us for a fun, bilingual workshop on August 5th with Julie Anne de Brún! Through music and song, we’ll be exploring sea life, superstitions and storytelling. Learn common words and phrases related to boats, fish and sea creatures, and sing along to some traditional Irish songs! All levels welcome.
