About Me
italki teacher since Jul 6, 2017
I was born and raised in rural Ireland in the last century, in one of the few counties (Mayo) where, alongside native English, native Gaelic in its purest form was and is still spoken. In my twenties I decided to live abroad and learn some foreign languages, including coming here to the Canaries to learn their Whistled Speech, what you and many call Silbo Gomero, and I was soon a competent whistler of speech.

This is my 18th lesson with Patchy, and I can notice a big improvement in only 4 months since the first lesson. I've been taking a 30 min. lesson about every week. We are now having an already quite elaborate conversation about interesting topics in Gaelic, which is great! Absolutely worth it!

Another fantastic lesson. Patchy also went the extra mile to help me with some work I'd been doing on a text, and we had a nice chat about it as always. Really enjoy my lessons and I always get a lot out of them. Highly recommended doing lessons if you're serious about wanting to learn Irish properly!

Super lesson. Caught up on topics we discussed in our last lesson in a naturally, chatty way and I feel my ability to not only understand what was being said but to participate getting stronger and stronger.
