CÚPLA FOCAL 2026 Learning the basics of our native language (P)

This 7 week online course will take place on Monday 19th & 26th Jan, 9th & 23rd Feb & 2nd, 9th, 16th & 23rd Mar 2026 from 4:30pm to 5:30pm each afternoon.

You will be taught how to hold a basic conversation as Gaeilge. You will learn about the similarities and differences in syntax between English and Gaeilge. The focus will be on basic pronunciation, grammar, fun games, improving your conversational skills and practicing your ‘Cúpla Focal’ with fellow participants.  The course will run for seven weeks, and you will be confident in writing short, structured sentences at the end of the seven weeks. I will use the following resources to aid your learning; teg.ie, tearma.ie & the SingFónaic programme

 Is múinteoir bunscoile mé agus tá neart taithí agam bheith ag múineadh i nGaelscoileanna, Scoileanna Ghaeltachta agus i Scoileanna Náisiúnta. Chrúthaigh mé féin agus cara liom clár fónaice Gaeilge ar líne; SingFónaic cúig bliana ó shin. Cuidíonn clár SingFónaic le páistí agus tuismitheoirí an 40 fóinéim Gaeilge a fhoghlaim agus a fhuaimniú tré leibhéil fónaice córasacha, carachtair grinn, liostaí deachtuithe, cluichí, rainn, amhráin agus dánta. Tá taithí agam bheith ag reáchtáil Ciorcal Cainte darbh ainm 'Cúpla Focal' i Steach Maoláin, Co. na Mí do dhaoine fásta.
