Elementary Irish is designed to foster conversational fluency and beginning reading skills in the national language of Ireland. The class is intended for anyone interested in learning Irish who has little or no familiarity with the language. This course offers a primer of present-day Irish language and is perfect for travelers. The course seeks to develop students' speaking and listening skills in Irish as well as beginning the process of learning to read and write in Gaelic.

This course is a continuation of present-day Irish language instruction for students who have taken Elementary Irish I. Students in this course will enlarge their vocabulary, augment their understanding of grammar, gain greater speaking fluency, and become better readers of works in Irish.
