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.

Great lesson! I started out taking one, but I am now taking lessons twice a week now, and I can see more improvement.

Making use of the language I have during the lessons by Patchy, and expanding my command of Connemara dialect in particular.

I took a month off lessons to move and I have not had time to practice, Patchy was understanding and slowed the lesson down so I could get back into the swing of things. great session and I am glad to be back on schedule with our lessons!
