    Hi, just read the posts about the courses. I'm hoping to send my son (16) on a course this year. Its between Colaiste Chiaran and Colaiste Shosamh in Galway or Colaiste na Roasann in Donegal..has anyone been to the one in Donegal?

    I live 5 mins from Colaiste na Rosainn in Donegal and the same distance from the one in Machaire Rabhrtaigh and the Gaeilge is very much inforced and spoken. You wont regret sending your Child/Children there. Donegal has the best Irish without a doubt #Fact

    Completely agree with that - its the same for me!

    I'm going back as a Cunteoir this year! I've to go to the Cursa Cinnireachta in February...so that should be good! Did you do Cursa A/B/C? I've always done A...I prefer to go in June for some reason. :)
    Missed this post. :o I went to Cúrsa B in July 2009 and Cúrsa C in August 2011. I prefer the break from the brain-mush making summer. :P

    No Irish College course will just give you easy A's. The subject will still require work and learning, but your expression in the language will improve. I can only speak of the courses I've been to but I never had any problems in Colaiste Sheosaimh. You'd be in Carna, the Junior college which tends to be a good laugh, with decent lessons each morning.

    Coláiste UISCE all the way! That was my first Gaeltacht, which I went to last summer(Having just finished 5th year, ha!) I was absolutely awful at irish but after going to uisce I felt my Irish had improved spectacularly. I'd really advise going there, plus you do water activities(as well as land activities) and get certs after your course.

    I didn't really either, but surfing and sailing ended up being really fun! But if you're really against water sports, choose a different coláiste.

    I've only ever been to UISCE, so I can't really recommend any others. Although my friends went to Coláiste Lurgan and said it was good!

    No, you don't have to sing! You just have to say both songs off by heart (if she's going to cursa a, if cursa b she only needs to know one). Then you just have a chat with the interviewer. I did it in first year for cursa a and it was grand. Tell her not o worry! Make sure she knows the songs well and she'll be grand.

    My daughter is off to Spleodar - Rosmuc for the July course. She is really looking forward to it and I am delighted she is going as I place a lot of emphasis on her enjoying learning Irish. We are waiting to be called for our information night, is it at this night they have their interview and am I right in saying its a group discussion.

    That's what happened when I was going on my first course with Spleodar anyway :) and btw, great choice.. Spleodar's second to none!

    Hi Guys.

    I'm currently considering going to Gaeltacht, but I don't want to go for three weeks. So I was looking into 'Brú na pairce' It seems pretty intense but it should pay dividends. Anyone been there and could tell me a bit about it?

    Thanks :D

    If any Leaving Cert student(or Junior cert) wants to go to the Gaeltacht during the Easter, coláiste UISCE is doing a revision course focusing on Oral and, well, Irish work :) I have 3 €100 vouchers off the course, as I'll be a cinnire there, so if you're interested send me a PM and I'll let you know more about it! :)

    I am going to Colaiste Na Noilean this summer with my friend. My other friend recommended it to me and she said it was a lot of fun and that she learned Irish there :) Has anyone been there, or recommend it? Some people said it isn't great, but others said it was unreal? i am in second year :)

    I went there a few years back when i was going into third year! It was unreal!! I'm hoping to go again this summer before 6th year! I'm just worried that there will only be second years there and no one my age :/
