Oideas Gael was founded in 1984 to promote the learning and use of Irish and to foster Irish Culture within the Gaeltacht and elsewhere. The annual programme of courses and events achieves the further aim of bringing together people of Irish and other Celtic backgrounds to participate in everyday Gaeltacht life, improve their fluency in Irish and enjoy our living culture.
Description
Description
Oideas Gael Language courses are specially constructed to cater for needs of adults at all learning stages, including those who are more advanced but in need of practice. Each course contains three or more levels: beginner, intermediate and advanced and is usually of one week's duration. Class Tuition is by specialist teachers who use graded courses, supported by modern audio-visual resources, as well as other proven methods of language teaching. The daily schedule consists of intensive morning and afternoon tutorials with attention directed towards spoken Irish, aiming at correct pronunciation, proper idiom and development of vocabulary, particularly contemporary. Our aim is to foster conversational ability and fluency, with some 45 hours of tutored sessions per course. Recreational activities such as dancing, poetry, or guest lectures take place each evening, after which everyone can practise their Irish with people from all levels while enjoying the craic in the local pubs.

Location
The Gaeltacht area of southwest Donegal, named after St. Colm Cille, is located in the scenically splendid Sliabh Liag peninsula. The region is renowned for its wealth of traditional culture, music and prehistoric settlements, as well as the excellent amenities available here, such as the famous Folk Village, founded as a result of notable community effort, to which the work of Oideas Gael continues to contribute. An tOireachtas, the major celebration of Irish language and culture, took place here in October 1989.
