When you discover your passion for a new language, you’ll focus all your efforts on learning how to speak it. Let’s say you’ve found the love of the Irish language and you want to learn how to speak it, what’s your next course of action? You’ll start by reading and learning the language but this isn’t enough.
Here’s where experiential learning comes into play. Also called hands-on learning or simply learning by experience, the process will boost your efforts to learn Irish. One great way to practice Irish is to attend an Irish language immersion weekend close to your area.
