We were contacted by Maria from Perth who runs online Gaeilge (Irish language) classes for adults and children, and all are welcome to join.

Following WA school term (free to join in throughout):
✅ Adult Beginners Online – Wednesday at 8 pm in Queensland time (AEST)
✅ Children's Online Class – Thursday at 6:30 pm in Queensland time (AEST)

Both classes are highly-interactive with a heavy focus on comhrá as well as béaloideas (conversation as well as folklore/tradition). The children's classes are aligned with the Irish Primary School Curriculum and feature all the beautiful fairytales and songs that their cousins and families would be learning at school.

Children's classes are $15/class and adults are $25/class when paid upfront for the term. FIFO and PAYG options available also.
