Here's some info which I picked up on various courses on at:
The The City Lit, Stukely Street, London . (nearest tube Holborn). 
(I go to the Gaelic class)

Gaelic Studies: 3-June to 22-July
                 Tutors: Angus Nicol and Chrissie MacLeod
                 This course is #18 (18 pounds)

The above is not a course in Gaelic. Gaelic studies is stuff like crofting,
Gaelic history etc.

The two Gaelic language courses (beginners and advanced) will restart in the 
Autumn. Here's the details for this year (90-91 season) to give you an idea 
what will be run next year and cost etc.

Members of the group produce a magazine entitled: 'Bran Vras' and group 
members are invited to join the Kowethas Kernewek, a society which aims 
to promote the learning and use of Cornish.

	This is details of a G�idhlig (Scots Gaelic) weekend course in the London area. The details below are now out of date, but the course will be running in November this year and February next year. I've entered these details to give you an idea of what to expect this year though. I would highly recommend this course - I went on both the November one and the follow up in Feb. Craig -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Courses in Gaelic in the London area: There's a course being run in Scottish Gaelic at Wansfell College (near Epping) if anyone's interested. It will run between Fri 16 and Sun 18 November. The cost is �50 if you pay Essex poll tax, �52 if you don't. There's also a supplement of �4 a night if you don't want a shared room. There will be four tutors, who will cover the following: Dr Kenneth MacKinnon will give the beginners course. This will cover the first 10 chapters of the BBC Can Seo book. John Angus MacLeod will be giving the intermediate course. This course emphasises conversation and spoken language and is suitable for people working towards an O-grade. Alasdair MacInnes will run the advanced group. This will be conducted through the medium of Gaelic. The tuition emphasises vocabulary extension and confidence in language use. Christine Kennedy will cover the singing workshop. This will be for those with an interest in the study and appreciation of Gaelic song, as well as those who actively perform and participate in solo and choral singing. There will also be a ceilidh on the Saturday night !!! There's also a non denominational Sunday morning Gaelic service. Both the service and the ceilidh are voluntary. On the tutors: Kenneth MacKinnon presently lives in the Black Isle and has researched and written on the sociology of the language. John Angus MacLeod (from Tarbert, Harris and now running the Gaelic in the South (GAD) group) and Alasdair MacInnes (from Glencoe, and one of my former teachers in Perthshire!) are both crowned bards, noted for their poetry, songs and technical writings in Gaelic and long experience in teaching Gaelic in adult education. Christine Kennedy is well known as a Gaelic traditional singer and was last year's Mod traditional gold medalist. She is currently based in Inverness working with CnaG in Gaelic youth and community education. There's a follow up course planned for 23-25 February. The intermediate course then will consist of lessons 11-20 of Can Seo.
