School is back in session, and so is Irish language class at the Irish Center!

Beginning Irish aims to guide students through a basic understanding of the history of the Irish language and introduce structure and grammar concepts through fun, practical applications of new words. Students will leave being able to hold simple conversations.

This course is geared at brand-new speakers of the Irish language.

Muinteoir Erin Hartnett is thrilled to be a part of the team at the Irish Center after years of being part of the KC Irish community. Erin studied theatrical design and Spanish at K-State. Drama work actually led to a dabbling in Irish as a hobby. In 2020, with theatres closed, Erin took advantage of the time and began studying Irish in earnest. Since then, Gaeilge has become a true love and passion. Erin is excited to share the grá with the community.

This course is geared at brand new or returning-after-a-long-break students and will meet from 6:30-7:30pm on Wednesdays from September 10 - October 22 with a break on October 1.

The course will meet in the Irish Center's programming space at 15 W. Linwood Boulevard.
