Ranganna Gaeilge - Irish classes

Absolute Beginners to Ard rang. There are classes throughout the Glens.

Returning from a (very long) break?! Get back into a class and remember what you loved about it!

Are you one of the million Duo Lingo Irish learners? Come along to a class and share the journey with excellent tutors, modern learning activities and plenty of craic as we get it wrong, then get it right!

Learners from across the Glens achieved their Fáinne Airgid and Cúpla Focal badges this year. Set yourself a Gaeilge goal for 2025/2026.

Sign up to your local class. Posters are being updated here as they come on line. If it’s an older poster, the contact details are still the same. Most classes kick off in the second and third weeks of September.

Keep scrolling down and you’ll find links to our learner online videos for families as well as information on Youth activities, playgroups and more.
