    I'd like to do a week long Irish course this summer in a Gaeltacht. I know of Glencolmcille and it sounds exactly like what I'm looking for. However I'm concerned that I'd have a problem with Donegal Irish and anyway that's not really the dialect I want to perfect. Has anyone any experience of other similar courses??:)

    I wouldnt be to bothered about dialects I find it better to expose yourself to as many different dialects as possible it is all the same language .

    Most important thing is the sounds of Irish the rolling rs etc you need to learn these off native speakers and all native speakers have these sounds.

    Odieas Gael has teachers and students from all over i know one teacher that is from dublin that goes to teach up there every year.


    But to answer your question here is a link to adult course in the kerry gaeltacht.

    Hi there,

    Just wondering, where did you end up in the end? Did you go to Gleann Colm Cille in the end or end up somewhere else?

    Was thinking of going to doing a course myself sometime this summer, so would be interested in hearing your experience.

    No worries, feel free to share any information you come up with. I've discovered a friend went somewhere in Donegal last year, but not sure where. I'll let you know if I find out anything from them.
