| Irish Language Courses in New England
-------------------------------------
Below is the Cumann na Gaeilge i mBoston 1990-1991 Schedule for
those interested in learning a little (or a lot) of Irish language
(and culture) this year, as well as meeting some new friends.
[In courses I've taken, there have been lawyers, engineers,
doctors, nurses, retirees, housepeople, students, nannies,
from USA, Canada, Ireland, Scotland, England, and Australia.]
There are both language and converstion-oriented classes available,
as well as meetings with interesting speakers, all within the
New England area.

Thanks again to all who responded. This information is going to be
VERY helpful for me. Hope any other neophytes to Irish find this
useful.
I will be happy to e-mail a copy of the index of subjects discussed on
GAELIC-L to anyone who requests it by e-mail. Send me a message
[email protected]
and I'll send it right out. It is quite long and I didn't want to use the
bandwidth as I am rather new to the network and don't want to offend!
