    Pay a visit to Cúpla focail bookshop, Albert walk in Bray, they should be able to point you in the right direction, they have notices of most local classes and conversation groups in the area.

    It all depends on what level you're at? Are you a complete beginner, or have rusty leaving cert Irish?

    There are loads of Irish lessons online, although...

    I'm only 16 and intermediate so I wouldn't be much help, but you could try asking an Irish teacher from a local secondary school/college for tutoring? Just a suggestion.

    You'd be surprised. I meet an awful lot of people who claim to have no Irish yet have a huge amount of passive Irish from their schooldays, that they're not aware of until they make a genuine attempt to use it.
    One of the first things I'd recommend is simply to watch TG4 as much as you can. Passively listening to others speaking Irish is often the easiest ways to refesh and improve.

    It's true. When Celtic League rugby was being shown on TG4 last year, I couldn't get over how much I knew and how much I more picked up. It was great. Unfortunately, the celtic league has gone to Setanta now ....
