For more information, contact Adrian Cain on 838527/ 451098 or at [email protected] PROGRAMME This year we'll be holding two weekend sessions of Manx Gaelic at Eary Cushlin.

Claare The first weekend (7th-8th) will be suitable for those with little or no Manx or for people who would like a refresher course.

The second weekend (14th-15th) will be suitable for those who know the basics and for those who are working towards being able to speak the language well.

The classes will be tailored to the needs of the students, so although the course are free, it is important that people book in advance so that we know what level of Manx you have; this allows us to adapt the lessons as appropriate.

Although the courses are free and tea and coffee will be provided please bring along something to eat.

The courses are supported by the Manx Heritage Foundation - www.manxheritage.org These courses are part of our developing adult language pro- gramme and are taught using our Saase-jeeragh methodology which is similar to that of Ulpan in Wales.

The classes stress the importance of speaking the language and require very little written work.

The classes are both fun and rewarding.
