Irish as a foreign language 15-PNJIRL-CE-14

(First semester of a two-semester course. Continues as 15-PNJIRL-CE-24.)

This course builds upon the linguistic basis provided by a previous year of study. Students continue to develop vocabulary and the ability to converse in Irish about subjects such as the house, family, hobbies, the workplace, food, health, clothes and money. Particular emphasis will be placed on competence in expressing opinions, likes and dislikes. Students will become familiar with the past, present and future tenses, and will learn the ordinal numeral system. Students will become familiar with the imperative tense and will be able to understand and make commands. They will also learn to write short passages on these topics and an emphasis will be placed upon written accuracy in Irish. The topography of Ireland will be presented through the Irish language. Classes will involve a mixture of grammatical instruction, listening practice, oral exercises, and reading comprehension. Regular attendance is required.
