    Hi guys,Im currently working in England but would love to become fluent in Irish.Obviously I did Irish up until the LC but Ive lost most of it at this stage.Is there anyone who would be interested in talking to me as Gaeilge on skype on a regular basis.I watch programmes on TG4 now and then but I really need to start talking the language to learn it.My irish would be at a very basic level but hopefully over time I can improve it.I know this may seem like a strange thing to be asking but I think it would be the most effective way for me to learn.:)

    Hi, I know it's strange for me to reply to this given that I'm English and a non-speaker; but I had a quick look through your past posts, and noticed you're near Leeds (I think?).

    Leeds, like Birmingham, has a very popular/thriving Irish Centre. I'm not too sure about up there, but here, the Comhaltas run Irish Language lessons aswell as music lessons; I know Leeds do the latter, so it might be worth getting in touch with your local branch to see if they do the language too? :)

    Yes, definately get in contact with Comhaltas if they are in your area. Otherwise, put an ad in the local paper with intent of starting up a conversational group. You might get a few responses. It only takes two to start one :) I started mine 3 years ago with only two, and we're going strong now.
