New Courses begin Nov 1st!
A chairde, cad é mar atá sibh?! We have lots of news to report from the online Irish community!
On Saturday we have an online workshop on translating text into Irish – this is bound to be intriguing, and especially so for our intermediate and advanced learners! Also, we recently announced our schedule of online classes for Nov/Dec, including our new course ‘Saol na Gaeilge‘. Beidh fáilte romhat in aon rang Gaeilge…
With Hallowe’en fast approaching, see below for some articles on the origins of the festival, and learn about the mystical characters ‘Sean na Gealaí‘ and ‘An Chailleach‘! Tabhair aire agus feicfimid go luath sibh – take care and we’ll see you soon!
We’re excited for Saturday’s workshop with Tomás Ó Maolalaidh, titled Ó Bhéarla go Gaeilge!
Tomás is a lecturer in translation and lexicography, and he has been working with Acadamh na hOllscolaíochta Gaeilge, at the University of Galway, since 2008. His main areas of interest are vocabulary, terminology, literary translation, Irish dialects and grammar.
In Saturday’s workshop, Tomás will be guiding us through the process of translating a text from English to Irish. Join us, and ask all your grammar questions! This workshop is aimed at Intermediate learners, but all levels are welcome to attend.
