Requirements
During this course, I take students slowly through what I feel are the basics of the Irish language.
Note: the emphasis during this course is on the oral element (speaking). Any written work should be done as a reinforcement of what is being spoken.
I begin by going through basics or fundamental phrases or vocabulary which I feel are needed to hold a conversation. The objective at the end of the course is that students will be enabled to describe a short piece about themselves in Irish. Also, they will be equipped with some useful conversation techniques which will really help when a conversation begins.
