blas.Learn Irish in New York
New York has been the heart of the Irish diaspora for over 150 years. Today, the city has a dedicated Irish-language community that keeps the language alive thousands of miles from the Gaeltacht — with classes, conversation groups, and cultural events year-round.
New York metro area has over 2 million people of Irish ancestry
The Irish language in New York
Daltaí na Gaeilge runs regular Irish language weekends and immersion events across the New York area. The Irish Arts Center in Hell's Kitchen offers classes. NYU's Glucksman Ireland House hosts lectures and events in Irish. And every March, you can hear Irish at events across the city during Seachtain na Gaeilge.
