I went for two weeks, and thoroughly enjoyed it. It's best for beginners and intermediate learners (unless they're going to add an advanced class), and the teachers (native speakers) insist on using Irish, and resist using English.

Dang...I didn't realize they didn't have an advanced class. Too bad they don't say that on the flyer!

It's good, though, that the teachers insist on using Irish. It's the best way to learn.

Actually, we practiced verbs intensively, and it really helped me with being able to conjugate them in conversation without dwelling on what to do. It was more or less advanced intermediate, and I found the practice of things which I supposedly already knew very helpful.

I actually find "the things I supposedly already knew" to be among the things most likely to fall apart during conversation. The correct prepositional pronoun, for example...obviously I know the difference between, say, "agam, agat, aice, aici," etc., but when I'm talking, for some reason I'm likely to throw the wrong one in there (for example, if I'm asking a friend about his spouse's Irish and instead of "an bhfuil Gaeilge aici" it comes out as "an bhfuil Gaeilge agat?") I think it's because we kind of get going on autopilot.
