Time flies, and there’s not all that much time left in 2016.
That can be a good thing. A challenge for you! The challenge is to find any type of Irish Gaelic teaching within travelling distance of you.
We know of two immersion weekends in the USA that will still take place this year:
- San Fancisco Bay Irish Language Weekend
- Sept. 23–25, 2016
- This is a popular weekend, and it’s well-established. Teachers travel in to teach at it.
- Madison, Wisconsin Irish Language and Culture Weekend
- October 14-16, 2016
- Organised by Dineen Grow, who we’ve had on our podcast. She started from zero, and speaks the Irish language. This is another popular weekend, and it’s well-established.
That’s not to mention hundreds of Irish language classes world-wide. For example, check out daltai.com for Irish classes in the USA and worldwide, and Gaeilge San Astráil for Australia.
Keep an eye out for immersion weekends for 2017. In Australia, Canberra and Sydney will have them. In the USA, Bloomington, Indiana usually has an immersion weekend. L.A. has its own, as we discussed on our podcast with Ramona Reeves.
