Hi there, my name is Daniel and I am a Irish/Gaelic teacher here on iTalki! Thanks for checking out my profile! 😄 

I teach Irish, Scottish and Manx Gaelic in my free time and I have a great passion for my language! 

The main aim of these trial lessons is to sit down, relax, get to know each other and help you figure out your goals when it comes to learning whichever form of Gaelic you please! I love getting to meet new people and I hope to see you soon in the classroom! 

Slán go fóill! 🐞

These lessons are much more informal than my other lessons, there is no prepared/set-out plan and are mostly focused on getting you talking! 💪🇮🇪

- These lessons are all about helping you speak Irish more fluently, confidently and to help with your pronunciation 🚀
- These lessons are informal, where we can sit down and have a fun chat as Gaeilge, while covering new grammar topics and vocab as it comes up 🍉

- We can talk about whatever you want, I'm very open to new ideas 🎳 
- If you want, I can put all your new vocab into a fun, little flashcard deck for you after the lesson! 🎱
