Welcome to the group! We can have virtual sessions as well, so we'll find a way to get you writing.

but didn't teach it to her children (my father included, she wanted them to blend in with other american children). So I am one generation removed from the language, know nary a word, but have a proclivity for other languages, English primarily but also French and German. I believe it a birthright to know the language, which formed my culture and consciousness. I would like to start the Absolute Beginners but am unclear which it is. Could you help direct me?
Thanks,
Jennifer Laverty

Hi Roisin. Did you teach at Penn? Iwork there and have been trying to fit Irish into my schedule for years. My grandmother was bilingual, as were a few generations of her family (the earned money as translators between the gentry and workers, as they lived (and cousins still do) in a heavily gaeltacht area (west galway/monivea). when my grandmother came to the us, however, she would speak to her friends in irish

Hi Roisin:
Morning on a weekend works. But, am I ready for this? IDK any of the tense changes. Are you still doing the book course that Amanda gallant's taking? Also have to check our budget to make sure that I can stay for the whole course

Hi Roisin:

Will a new Advanced Beginner Group be starting up--IDK whether I could just hop in. Also, Amana wanted to know whether an Complete Beginner Group was starting up. She lives in Philly now, so she could also possibly attend a class you're teaching at a local, venue. She mentioned that she'd e-maild you and that you hadn't gotten back to her.

Cheers
Maire Durkan (my hubby pronounces my name as "Mora" and so do all of the Irish rellies, so that's what I go by)

Hi Roisin:My boys are playing session at The Plough and The Stars in Philly tomorrow from 5-9, so I won't be online. I'll wait on the lessons until the advanced beginners start a new session.

Dia duit Roisin. Should I wait till the next session of classes to move to move to advanced beginners?
