This weekend brings together Irish speakers of all levels, from folks who have never heard the language to native speakers. This event is a fun and casual way to get introduced to a very beautiful language, and one that may even have been spoken by your grandparents. In addition to language classes, the weekend will entertain you with music, dancing, and meeting new friends.
