I have watched your video about Irish courses in the Gaeltacht. There are also participants of foreign countries learning Irish. It seems to me like an "Esperanto atmosphere" (very group-oriented with interesting cultural program) in such courses.
I enjoyed my school education in general (not only languages but also subjects like art and mathematics) and I have been a classroom learner all my life. At school I have learned 4 languages. In my time as a university student in my 20s I struggeled with my study discipline, which was really a mess. That was the time when I learned Dutch and had some inconsistent approaches to Italian and Spanish. My polyglot development began when I was over 30 with 3 years of Romance Philology study at university, where I studied several languages simultanously. I profit linguistically from this period of time until now. It was classroom learning there, which was good for me. Doing language self-study is a very new thing for me, which I started 6 months ago in October 2009. I am still experimenting about what is possible for me personally with self-study and what not. Classroom learning and correspondence courses are more natural for me, but at the moment self-study is the only opportunity I have.

Cool, I've never heard spoken Gaelic before (not including hearing it in a song or two, but that was sung Gaelic, not spoken Gaelic :) ).

Ok...somewhat belated, but sure what the hell, I've still got some unopened Kilkennys and Guinnesses left since the bizarre German/Irish hoolie here on Wednesday...beannachtaí na Féile Pádraig ort, agus tabhair dom an rud céanna mar atá ag an fhear ar an t-úrlar! ;)
The course at Gleann Cholm Cille looks great, and I'm thinking of doing something similar myself next year and popping in to visit the folks in Ennis after. Any recommendations for similar courses in this area? Edited by Teango on 19 March 2010 at 2:40am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

@Teango I know there's a Gaeltacht in Canada somewhere, but that's about it outside of Ireland. Some cities do weekly meetings in Irish, but I won't know about Germany until I'm there. The simplest thing is grabbing a €40 Ryan Air flight and coming to Ireland to practise ;)
@datsunking Glad someone was looking for me here! :D 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Lol - I was talking about Ennis, Co. Clare (and not too far a drive from the Aran Islands and Connemara too), it's where my Aunt and Uncle live. I didn't even know there was one in Texas ;) Edited by Teango on 19 March 2010 at 9:49pm 1 person has voted this message useful |
