Let the Gaeltacht come to you this summer at Coláiste Deirbhle. This Irish language college, set at the foot of Nephin overlooking Lough Conn, is a great place to improve your mother tongue. Qualified and experienced Irish teachers, having grown up in the Gaeltacht and taught for many years in Gaeltacht summer collages, are offering a one week preparatory course for Higher and Ordinary Level Leaving Cert Irish, bearing in mind that the Irish oral for the new Leaving Cert Irish syllabus is now worth a massive 40 per cent.
The five day course will run from Monday July 16 to Friday July 20 from 9.30am to 2.30pm. On leaving the course students will have covered poetry, prose, essays, grammar, comprehensions and aural, not to mention oral work, with a guarantee that by that Friday afternoon, your confidence levels will have grown regarding writing essays, listening and interpreting conversations, and speaking the language mar 'Beatha Teanga í a Labhairt' mar a dúirt Pádraig mac Piaras. You will also have in your possession a CD and booklet especially designed to help you prepare for the oral over the following 10 months, as well as notes, sample essays, sample answers, and the confidence to use them.
Be a step ahead of your classmates in September. Tuilleadh eolais ó 086 8414499.
