Adult Learners & Beginners

Learn Irish with Confidence – At Your Own Pace

Whether you’re returning to Irish after many years, starting from scratch, or supporting your child’s learning, these lessons are designed to build confidence and real understanding in a relaxed, supportive way.

Many adults worry about making mistakes or feel they no longer have a word of Irish. My approach is practical and encouraging, with lessons tailored to your goals so you feel comfortable speaking Irish and using it naturally.

A Practical, Supportive Approach

Lessons focus on spoken Irish, listening skills, and useful everyday language. Grammar is introduced clearly and gently, only where needed, helping you understand the language without feeling overwhelmed. Lessons are always adapted to your pace and learning style.

Support for Parents

For parents, lessons can also support your child’s Irish at home, including:

• Understanding classroom language and common phrases

• Building confidence in pronunciation

• Supporting homework and oral preparation

This helps parents feel more confident supporting their child without added pressure.

Who These Lessons Are For

• Adults learning Irish for the first time

• Adults returning to Irish after school

• Parents supporting children in primary or secondary school

• Beginners looking for a calm, encouraging learning environment

A Relaxed Learning Environment

Above all, lessons are designed to be supportive, enjoyable, and confidence-building. Mistakes are part of the learning process, and progress is made step by step, at a pace that suits you.

"I am a college student who was looking for help to study for the B1 oral TEG exam. Miriam helped me so much and was very accomodating to my needs. She is a very patient and helpful tutor. "

Michelle

"Could not recommend Miriam enough! She has such a friendly and helpful nature. I contacted Miriam with help for applying for the PME in Primary Teaching for Hibernia. She not only improved my fluency in Irish but she also instilled a love of Irish and a confidence in me regarding my fluency. Her kindness and caring nature really helped me achieve my goal."
