Today, I’ll be chatting with Clíodhna Ní Chorráin. Clíodhna is the Irish Language Instructor at the University of Ottawa. She is in the middle of her second year of her ICUF scholarship. ICUF, being the Ireland Canada University Foundation.
In this episode, Clíodhna talks about her experiences teaching Irish abroad, both in the US and in Canada. She is very honest when she speaks about initially wanting to go to Toronto but making it work in Ottawa and ultimately having a fantastic experience in the nation’s capital city. We discuss Clíodhna’s ambitions for the future which may involve settling in Ireland but not before a stop somewhere else along the way.
Clíodhna and myself had never spoken in English before this conversation but I felt it necessary for the majority of the listenership of this podcast. We did record a supplementary conversation in Irish which was released at the same time as this episode so you should find it in your feed.
I would still encourage people to download the episodes and to share them with friends and family. Downloads are the easiest indicator for me to gauge how many people I am reaching with these conversations so I would really appreciate it.
