Speak Irish!

The Department of Celtic Studies of the University of Ottawa welcomes you to celebrate Seachtain na Gaeilge by practicing your Irish

2013 is the Year of Irish, and as a celebration of Seachtain na Gaeilge - Irish Week, we will be hosting a reception here in the university. We will come together on March 22nd, between 5-7, at Room 509 in the Arts Building, to speak and celebrate our language. It's very important that we show how much we treasure Irish. I hope to have you join us for the get-together! Food and drink will be served. Do join!


Is é 2013 Bliain na Gaeilge, agus mar cheiliúradh Sheachtain na Gaeilge, beidh fáiltiú á chur i láthair againn anseo san Ollscoil. Tiocfaidh muid le chéile ar an 22ú Márta, idir 5 agus a 7, ag an bhFoirgneamh Arts, Seomra 509, chun an teanga a labhairt agus a cheiliúradh. Tá sé tábhachtach go dtaispeánann muid cé chomh gar is atá an Ghaeilge donár gcroíthe! Tá súil agam go mbeidh deis agaibh bheith inár dteannta don slógadh! Beidh neart bia agus dí le fáil chomh maith. Bígí linn!
