Come and try Manx! All are welcome to this taster Manx workshop for beginners on Saturday 8th November from 1pm - 1.45pm taking place at Thie dy Vea retreat house in Peel.
No prior knowledge of Manx is necessary as this workshop is aimed at complete beginners. While the workshop is primarily aimed at adults (16+), young people aged 13-16 are welcome when accompanied by a responsible adult.
Ruth Keggin Gell will lead the 45 minute workshop, teaching a range of useful phrases in a fun, informal and interactive way. The focus will be on listening and speaking, although participants will be given a handy sheet of vocabulary and phrases to take away at the end of the workshop.
Ruth holds the position of Yn Greinneyder (Culture Vannin's Manx Language Development Officer), and is a qualified, experienced and encouraging teacher.
