About this experience

Language Schools in Inishbofin Village is a dedicated Irish-language learning centre located on Inishbofin Island, off the Connemara coast. It offers structured courses for adults and teenagers in a Gaeltacht setting, combining classroom tuition with daily cultural activities. The school operates year-round, with intensive week-long programmes during summer and weekend courses in other seasons.

What to expect

Courses run for 5 days (Monday to Friday) with 15 hours of Irish tuition per week, split into morning grammar and afternoon conversation sessions.
Class sizes are capped at 8 students per group, with placement tests on the first morning to match your level from beginner to advanced.
Each course includes three daily meals at the school's dining hall, featuring locally sourced seafood and island-grown vegetables.
Afternoon activities include guided walks to the island's Iron Age promontory fort, a boat trip to Inishark's abandoned village, and a weekly seisiún with local musicians in the village pub.
The school provides free accommodation with island families, where you practise Irish during evening meals and household chores.
Suitable for adult learners aged 18 and over, as well as teenagers aged 14-17 in dedicated summer camps, with no prior Irish required for beginner groups.
