BITS & PIECES OF IRISH

 

The name, "Conradh na Gaeilge - Tir Is Teanga" in Irish means "League of the Gaels - Country and Tongue".

 

We invite all Members and interested Gaelgores  to come to the Gaelic League/Irish American Club

2068 Michigan Ave., Detroit, MI. on Wednesdays 7-9 pm

and have fun learning to speak a little Irish

We have a variety of aids from books, CDs, and the   Internet, to speed you on your mission.

Focus is on sounds and speaking.
