Cost of school is $195 paid to the Summer School NSW 2023 bank account.

Anyone wishing to stay at the Carrington Inn should book by 7th December so they don't miss out on a room. The Carrington Inn will re-open their books to the general public that day.

However anyone booking from our school will still get the discounted rate. At this stage there are still 12 rooms available.

Application forms and more details available on request.

BRIDGING THE GAP TO SPEAKING
Keep it simple.
Take Heart – It’s getting easier to learn Irish in Australia.
To develop speaking/listening skills find a friend( at your level).
Avoid the mental gymnastics involved in translating from English to Irish (vice versa).
Listening can be used as a spring board for speaking.
Don’t try and be perfect straight away, but cuir snas ar do chuid Gaeilge – de réir a chéile.
Initially aim for understanding rather than exactly correct pronounciation or canúint cheart.
Find a Conversation class.
Develop stock phrases, work on stock questions.
Try not to be afraid of using technology.
