There’s plenty of information in this month’s edition of Nuachtlitir Ghaelchultúir about events run by the company itself and by other organisations. So whether you’re looking for a language course or an Irish language hobby, you’ll find all the best advice here.
Gaelchultúr has been offering the Certificate in Professional Irish in Mayo County Council since 2015 and 120 employees, from every section in the organisation, have now undertaken the course. Nuachtlitir Ghaelchultúir recently spoke to Marian Uí Mháille from the Council’s Irish Language Office to find out about their future plans for the language.

Christine Murphy works with Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council and had few opportunities to practise her Irish – until the Certificate in Professional Irish became available in the organisation last autumn. Nuachtlitir Ghaelchultúir spoke to her to find out how she felt about returning to the language.
This autumn, Coláiste na hÉireann/Gaelchultúr will again be offering the Postgraduate Diploma in Translation and a scholarship (i.e. the course without the fees) will be awarded to one student on the programme.
We have devised another quiz for those of you with an interest in grammar. Do you fancy the challenge? And if you’re looking to improve your grammatical accuracy, we’ve got the solution to that problem too!
Those interested in working with one of the EU institutions in the future now have an opportunity to gain valuable experience in one of those institutions, thanks to an internship scheme being run by the Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht since last year. Nuachtlitir Ghaelchultúir spoke to Áine Mills, a Trinity College Dublin graduate who recently took part in the scheme, to find out how she found the experience.

Last autumn more people than ever attended Gaelchultúr’s evening classes in Dublin. Join us this spring and maybe we’ll beat that record!
In this series, we give our readers a chance to get to know a little bit about the teachers on Gaelchultúr’s Irish language courses. Dublin native Oisín Ó Doinn is the teacher we’d like to introduce to you this month.
For a third year in a row, Bord na Gaeilge UCD will be running a summer school, Tionól Gaeilge, in the university. This school, which is being organised by the Bord in conjunction with Gaelchultúr, will take place on the Belfield campus between Monday, 1 July and Friday, 5 July.
Last year Sergio Fernández Redondo from Asturias in northern Spain completed Level 3 of the Certificate in Professional Irish. He recently spoke to Nuachtlitir Ghaelchultúir about undertaking the course and his experience of learning Irish.
A brand new ClubLeabhar.com series has begun this month and we’re focusing on six different works as our Book of the Month between now and June. From translations to newly written works, novels to short stories, we have a compelling mixture of books that will undoubtedly spark debate and contemplation about a wide range of fascinating themes and questions.
There are plenty of Irish language events taking place in the coming months, including the Pop Up Gaeltacht, REIC and the international Pan Celtic Festival.
We have a very special deal this month for Gaelchultúr’s newsletter readers: a 5% discount on the price of our spring evening classes for those who register by 5.00pm on Thursday, 31 January 2019.
Gaelchultúr is giving our readers the chance to win the six books in the spring 2019 ClubLeabhar.com series.
Congratulations to the winner of the May competition!
The focal.ie website, which is an online Database of Contemporary Irish Words being developed by Foras na Gaeilge, will prove a useful and fascinating resource for those interested in the language.
