Love listening to Siobhan speaking ‘as gaeilge’. I did learn Irish fado and I’m interested in learning again to be able to converse a little. I had intended to take up learning with like minded people in a class now that I’m retired but will have to wait for a bit.
Go raibh maith agat, a Cholette. Glad you enjoyed. When you’re feeling ready, perhaps have a look at our courses and memberships and you can learn at your own pace.
Le meas, Emma
