Intermediate Irish Part 1: Towards the Fáinne Óir (Gold Fáinne)
Led by our experienced instructor, Catherine Calumarte, this 10-week course is ideal for individuals who have a good basic level of spoken Irish and have a good grounding in basic grammar and in the structure of Irish. During the course, students will be encouraged and supported to progress to confident speaking in Irish on a range of subjects and to enhance their understanding of the structure of the language as they work towards the Fáinne Óir (Gold Fáinne).

If you enjoy Part 1 of this Intermediate course, you’ll have the option to sign up for Part 2, which will run from January-March 2027, and for Part 3, which will run from April-June 2027. Participants who complete the course will have the option of trying for the Fáinne Óir (Gold Fáinne) at the end of Part 3. It is, however, a significant step up from the Fáinne Airgid to the Fáinne Óir and most students will need more time to increase their fluency before they try for the Fáinne Óir . All students are encouraged and supported to progress at their own pace.
Intermediate Irish: Part 1 will not run again until September 2027.
