OBJECTIVE: Spread my love of the Irish language. I am a 20 year old university student
hoping to spend my summer teaching the Irish language, the history of the
language and conversational Irish. I am well-traveled in Ireland and the
U. S. I would like to use my knowledge of the Irish language so others
can understand and enjoy itâ??s beauty as much as I do. I would like to teach
group or individual lessons in the Irish language; lead â??conversational
eveningsâ?￾ for speakers of all levels; or give lectures on the history of the
language. I believe I could utilize my unique talents and enthusiasms for
everyoneâ??s mutual enjoyment and enlightenment.
