I'm going to write a detailed review of the school when the week is over as I have a lot to say about the way they've organized the levels and so on. The levels are a bit all over the place. Check back to my blog in a week or two and I'll give you a thorough explanation on what the course is like. I did start completely from scratch back in early January; I didn't have a single bit of Irish. I've learned a lot but the best thing I'll take away from here is contacts. I've made a heap of friends from all levels who are keen to continue Irish practice with me via Skype. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

This is exactly the sort of thing I want to do someday (that, and study some Irish flute)! I would be interested in reading what you've been doing to study up till now. I actually "started" around the same time you did but I've shoved Irish to the side so much for French and Spanish because it was just so much harder and I could make much faster progress in Spanish so my level is pretty nil right now. So the fact that you have a good level of listening comprehension and can manage conversation puts me to shame (and for the moment actual listening comprehension seems like a far off dream). <s>If you've already typed something up or have a log I'd love to read it, if not definitely consider doing so.</s> Just noticed your blog. I actually ran across it a while ago, don't remember how, but I couldn't really follow it as I had spotty internet access. If only I did I may have been more driven to try harder seeing your progress. This and the job interview I got for mentioning Irish are motivating me to work on it more regularly.
