    I heard talk of Saturday morning classes in the social space at 24 Middle St. - http://www.galwayspace.org/ - sure no harm to call in and ask.

    If you want a bit of midweek chat - call in to the bar of Arus na Gael on Dominic St. on Wed evening around 2130 or so. They are a friendly informal group and happy to teach you stuff too. Spoken Irish is a lot more important anyway in my opinion.

    Hiya eeryone, very helpful thread.:)
    I am very interested in learning irish, however at the moment my work timetable is very very restrictive and changes on a weekly basis.

    so i am just wondering if anyone could recommend prehaps some books which i could buy, which would allow me to practice my grammer and get a bita confidence with me verbs:pac:.

    of course book learning can only get you so far but i would feel much more confident if i was able to do a bit of home learning first.

    Also can anyone advise me where i can pick up an irish newspaper:confused: as this would give me a daily chance to try and practice.

    at the moment i am just aiming to learn at a casual basis, and then later look into courses.:)

    I tried lessons in the spirit centre in the city centre, the fees were voilitiry donations but the classes were disorganized and the teacher seemly had no lesson plan and often appeared to be at a total loss when asked a question, also she had no confidence so after a few weeks a big chunk of each class was taken up in reassuring her that she was doing a great job. but that was a while ago so if they're still going on they may have improved.

    Don't know that I've every seen any newspapers: try TG4 perhaps, that will help you start to get your ear around the language (in which words sound very different to how they look to an English-speaker!)

    Foinse is widely available. Easons etc. Lá is a bit trickier to get through but is out every day, as the name suggests! Best of luck!
