Dia daoibh. Is daoine muid atá inár gcónaí i gcathair Birmingham nó timpeall na cathrach sa Lár-Réigiún Thiar. Many of us came over from Ireland a long time ago, others have lived here only for a short while. Some were born and bred in the UK with Irish roots, others feel a connection to Ireland for other reasons. We all share an interest in the Irish language, an Ghaeilge. Is cuma an bhfuil líofacht na Gaeilge agat nó ar thosaigh tú í a fhoghlaim ar DuoLingo le gairid. As a community, we want to create opportunities to speak Irish or just to hear it being spoken. We warmly welcome beginners as well as competent speakers. During our PopUp Gaeltacht in a Digbeth pub on a Sunday afternoon, we go by the motto “Is fearr Gaeilge bhriste ná Béarla cliste.” (Better to speak broken Irish than clever English). It is of course ok just to listen or to speak a mixture of English and Irish. The meeting is followed by an Irish traditional music session which attracts a wider audience and creates the opportunity to follow up with conversations in English. Nó lean ar aghaidh as Gaeilge, más mian leat. We successfully run innovative Irish courses with monthly classes (on Saturdays), pre-recorded video tutorials, online tasks and printed resources. Bigí linn.

(English below) Tá an grúpa seo do dhaoine a bhfuil Gaeilge acu, atá ag foghlaim na teanga nó ar mian leo an teanga a fhoghlaim. This group is for people who know Irish, who are learning the language or who want to learn the language.
