Immersion Course in The Irish Language
Friday, May 9th through Sunday, May 11th, 2014
Marist Brothers Retreat Center
Esopus, NY

Gaeltacht Weekends were established in 1981 to provide a setting where students can learn and practice the Irish Language in an atmosphere where Irish is the "First" language. The name Gaeltacht refers to the regions in Ireland where Irish is the predominant language.

Though most participants have been studying for longer periods of time, those with little or no prior knowledge are also welcome.

The only requirements are a desire to learn, a commitment to use whatever Irish you do have, and a willingness to comply with the rule: Irish will be spoken by all, at all times, to the best of one's ability. Language classes will be held and are mandatory.

Workshops in Irish music, singing and céilí dancing will also be offered. Bring your musical instruments. There will be a céilí Saturday night.
