Gaelchultúr's autumn evening classes: an escape from the darkness and the bad weather!
Every autumn, Gaelchultúr’s evening classes offer learners at various levels two hours of respite a week from the darkness and the bad weather! And this year, the classes in Dublin will be held in a new and pleasant environment.
Gaelchultúr offering live online classes

Gaelchultúr's Irish course for Hibernia applicants still in great demand
Gaelchultúr’s Irish Language Course for Hibernia Applicants has been a great success since it was first offered in May. Over one hundred people have participated in the two programmes held to date and many people have already registered for the next course.
Intensive course for those who agonize about grammar!
Gaelchultúr has been running its Intensive Preparatory Course in Written Irish since 2010 and the programme is still in great demand. The course is suitable for people working through the medium of Irish and those looking for a good position in the Irish language sector – not to mention those of you who fret about grammatical accuracy!
King’s Inns offering two diploma courses in Irish
Up to forty jobs will be available to Irish speakers in various EU institutions this year and in the years ahead there will be further openings for lawyer-linguists and legal translators with a high level of competency in Irish. King’s Inns is offering two diploma courses that aim to prepare the participants for the entrance exams that will take place in the future when the above-mentioned vacancies are being filled.
Two new presenters for Gaelchultúr’s Phrase of the Day!
By the end of this month, 200 of Gaelchultúr’s “Frása an Lae” (Phrase of the Day) videos will be online, and the main dialects of Irish can all be heard in those segments.

Around 800 primary school teachers from every corner of Ireland undertook the online EPV courses provided by Gaelchultúr in July and August.
COGG's intensive course for post-primary teachers proves popular again
Though back to school came earlier than ever for many pupils this year, there was a group of enthusiastic post-primary school teachers who returned even earlier than their pupils in order to polish their Irish language skills ahead of the school year.

This new section, “Song of the month”, aims to encourage the readers of this newsletter to learn songs in Irish and sing them themselves.
Link of the month
During the summer, Rannóg an Aistriúcháin (The Translation Section of the Houses of the Oireachtas) published a revised edition of An Caighdeán Oifigiúil (The Official Standard for Irish) and Antain Mac Lochlainn, editor of www.aistear.ie, is less than impressed with the changes made to the previous version.
