MEMBER INTERVIEW

A Londoner learning Irish in the Netherlands – Interview with Katie

Deepen into Irish language and culture with our monthly members’ workshop.

Emma chats to Grow member, Katie about her experience learning Irish. Originally from London, Katie has lived in the Netherlands for over 50 years.

She discusses her career as a translator and language teacher and how that has influenced her current approach to learning Irish, her family ties to Muineachán and Ard Mhacha and her favourite things about Gaeilge.

A great piece of advice that Katie mentioned when talking about speaking a language:

‘Start off using it, the correct form will come later!*

Thanks for chatting to me, Katie. Maith thú agus lean ort!
