BEGINNER IMMERSION WEEKEND 2020
"The 2 day intensive course with Ann was fantastic fun. A relaxed and comfortable class was set with emphasis on adopting good learning habits & pronunciation. Ann was very patient and encouraging, with 12 modules covered in the 2 days working from a booklet of well-planned lessons with activities. I particularly enjoyed the counting and directions games as we were up and about, and using the language made it stick. The course was given Ann's special touch with a raffle, the games, a song, stories and a postcard. By the end of the course we had covered lots of content and I felt much more confident in speaking and listening. I would highly recommend this course with Ann to Gaelic learners."

BEGINNER IMMERSION WEEKEND 2020
"The course was brilliant right from the start, there was a warm welcome with hot drinks and pastries that created an environment where we quickly got to know each other which helped the learning process. The weekend was broken into achievable stages and Ann spent time to ensure we all understood and regularly ran over the material to allow us to get to grips with the new information. This allowed us to move on together and ensured no one was left behind. We regularly broke into groups to participate in dialogue, exercises and games, this helped to further reinforce the new things we had learned. Although I had difficulty in some of the exercises, Ann provided assistance and I confidently progressed as did we all. I would highly recommend this course and Ann as a teacher and I feel I recived a great deal from the two days. The pack I received was excellently put together and the information and accessories have been a great help in home study, particularly the website study access that has allowed me to go over the areas I struggled with during the weekend.
To summarise, a great course with a great teacher and backed up with excellent support, I have recommended to friends and family and will continue to so."

BEGINNER IMMERSION WEEK 2024
It was really great being taught by Ann. The enthusiasm for Gaelic came through and it was infectious. While Gaelic is really tricky to learn (especially the pronunciation!) Ann was patient with us and came up with interesting comparisons and tips and tricks, which really helped me pick up aspects about the language quickly and in a fun way. After a 5 day course, I was gutted that it was coming to an end as I was keen to keep on learning with Ann!

Ann offers a well paced, intense but enjoyable learning experience packed with practical insider tips for speaking Gaelic as it is actually spoken - not as it is presented in books and on apps like Duolingo.
For me, an invaluable grounding, and a solid foundation on which to build.
Thoroughly recommended.
