CCIV30100 Introduction to Early Irish 2

Academic Year 2024/2025

This Course builds on CCIV20110, and uses the same method to extend the student's command of vocabulary, word-forms and sentence-structure. Each unit deals with new vocabulary and a new grammatical concept, which are practised by means of translation of increasingly complex sentences.
