A year ago we retired here to Mayo and love it. My question is is there anywhere I can learn Irish. I don't want to take exams etc. but simply learn conversational Irish. Any ideas?

Hi Hunros and welcome to Expat.com,
Maybe you could envisage language exchange (therefore you should insert an ad in Ireland's Classifieds -> Language exchange).
Good luck

Hi Hunros

In Dublin, in some public library (in the Ilac Center for example)they have free methods, books and CD to learn Irish (and other languages).
I don't know about Mayo, but it might be worthing to have a look in a public library to get some information.
Good luck
