:: With personal tuition out the proverbial window, many people are looking one line for their Irish learning.

One of the best is ranganna.com, “a user-friendly and comprehensive e-learning website that lets you learn authentic, every-day Irish independently and at your own pace.”

Between 3pm and 5pm (Irish  time), on Saturday, 23 January, Gaelchultúr will offer 30-minute classes online to give those interested in taking a course a taste of the teaching approach that ranganna.ie uses. 

At 3pm, the classes are for Beginners and Elementary learners; 3.30pm, it’s for Lower and Upper Intermediate while at 4pm, it’s time for the 

Advanced class as well as a class in Accuracy in Irish.
