    Can I join in this too? I'm also a beginner and I've been trying to learn Connemara Irish on my own but I really have to start all over again.
    Frederick doesn't say if he's looking for a short intensive course or an evening course etc etc.
    Conradh na Gaeilge appear to do evening classes over several months. I'm looking for short (1-2 weeks) of intensive learning. The NUI Galway courses for beginners appear to be one month minimum. The only thing I can find in the Gaelteacht is Oideas Gael, and that's in Donegal.
    Sorry, folks, if you are always getting the same questions! By the way, I live abroad and am "of a certain age", as they say, so I'm not interested in being at college with kids.

    In that case, Oideas Gael is probably right for you.
