Annotation
The courses which are currently running in the Irish language range from complete beginners´ to the upper intermediate/advanced level. Language training is complemented by variegated samples of Irish culture including place-names, blessings, curses, proverbs and songs. There are six successive one-semester courses. More advanced students are welcome to join an informal conversation circle, which meets on a weekly basis.
Irish II, III and IV are a continuation of Irish I. The main focus is on communication, with the accompanying effort to build up a solid grammar basis. At the same time, students practice translating simple texts from Irish.
Please note that the Irish courses offered at our department may not be suitable for Erasmus students from Ireland who have acquired the language through the Irish education system, and that places for such students are limited. Irish students with serious interest in practicing the Irish language in Prague should contact the instructor, Radvan Markus, at radvan.markus@ff.cuni.cz.
