Dedicated to the Gaelic Language of the Isle of Man

New Manx class in Port Erin for beginner adults

Ynsee Gaelg marin! Learn Manx with us! A brand new Culture Vannin evening Manx class will be taking place in the south of the Island from the start of September. Advance sign up is essential; if you are keen, make sure that you get your name down early as we anticipate that this class will be very popular! 

Fysseree / Information:

  • When? Tuesday evenings, 7pm - 8pm throughout the academic year 
  • Where? Station Road Methodist Hall (back room), Port Erin
  • Cost? Our lessons are free - this is to keep them accessible to everyone. Donations to support Culture Vannin's development work are always appreciated, however!
  • Level? Absolute beginners - adult learners aged 16+

The classes will be taught by Yn Greinneyder, Ruth Keggin Gell - Culture Vannin's Manx Language Development Officer. Her style of teaching focuses on speaking and listening skills, incorporating visual aids, activities that get you moving around the room, as well as some games. The class will follow Culture Vannin's four part course, 'Loayr Gaelg' (Speak Manx). 

Here is what some of our current students have to say about their classes with Ruth:

"Ruth is the best teacher, she is so encouraging and knows exactly the right level of challenge to get everyone progressing without feeling any pressure at all. Just brilliant."

"I love going along as she makes it so much fun."

Learning Manx is a wonderful way to feel more connected to the Isle of Man and help to support the use of our indigenous minority language, to meet new people, to give your brain a boost, and simply to have fun developing a new skill! Bee failt er dagh ooilley pheiagh! Everyone will be very welcome!
