Trying to learn to speak the Irish language at your own pace can be difficult to feel like you’re making progress. While it’s good to adapt your journey to your own pace, it can also help by focussing your efforts and learn with others.
By focussing on your learning outcomes to describe yourself and your life in a structured way, you can jump ahead with your ability to express yourself in Irish.
Seachtain Foghlama – Study Week
On the 5th to 9th February 2024, Bitesize Irish is holding a Seachtain Foghlama / Study Week.
The online study week will focus on discussing your Hobbies and Pastimes. By spending time daily during the week (such as 30 or even 60 minutes per day), interacting with others, you’ll make progress in describing what you do around hobbies and pastimes.
