Gaelige Conversation Meetings

evoke

Has anyone ever organised these? It would a get together of people who want to learn and speak alot more than they could with people they know.

It could be a meet up in a pub and just talk to people. The only way you are going to learn irish is speaking it as much as you can.

Maybe you can get together with people around you and start speaking it.

I live in athlone now for a coupel of months but heard no irish at all. I was looking for these kind of groupls but have not found one yet.


Also if you raise your kids through irish they have more oppurtunities these days than kids that bearly know irish. You can get a scholarship to college if you can speak Gaeilge well in secondary school. In these recession times that would give you kid a head start over other kids and you would save alot of money.

Anyone interested in starting one up?

When you say "in town", I guess you mean Dublin, although it's my understanding that other towns exist in Ireland. The OP is in Athlone, and perhaps doesn't want to travel 125 km for a chat.

well, yes I did mean in Dublin town but these groups organise chats all over the country. It's a matter of contacting them for details.
