Learn more about the ancestral tongue of 46 million Americans by registering for noncredit Irish Gaelic classes at Indiana University-Purdue University Columbus (IUPUC).

Two eight-week Wednesday evening classes, both beginning May 15 and continuing through July 10, will be offered.

  • For those who are new to the Irish Gaelic language, a non-credit “Introduction Irish Gaelic” class will be held in CC Room 170 from 6 to 7:15 p.m. The cost is $60, which includes class materials.
  • For those with some understanding of the language, a “Conversational Irish Gaelic” class will be held in CC Room 170 from 7:30 to 8:45 pm. The cost is $60, which includes class materials.

Irish Gaelic is the official language of the Republic of Ireland. Participants in these classes will achieve an understanding of Ireland’s rich heritage while developing conversation skills and learning Gaelic vocabulary. They will also learn about opportunities to interact with an increasing number of Gaeilgeori (Irish speakers) in the U.S.
