We support the next evolution in language learning by pairing speakers together in our Sheshaghyn programme. As an Apprentice/Prindeys, you will learn with with an experienced speaker and develop to your own plan.
For £20 you can enjoy a personal learning plan spread over 10 sessions with an experienced speaker. You can shape the conversation how you would use Manx. Help support your interaction with children at the Bunscoill Ghaelgagh, develop your academic interests in linguistics or just have a chat over a coffee.
Whilst we encourage chats over a coffee to get the most out of using Manx, we also support and promote using technology to reach your potential. Our Sheshaghyn programme supports learning programmes over Google Hangouts, Skype, and more.
Pobble are able to pair learners and mentors together to develop Manx Gaelic not only in the apprentice ("Prindeys") but also the mentor ("Mainshter").
Becoming someone's Mentor can be in a formal or informal capacity, using time and contact method suitable to you. We recognise the contribution all our Mentors contribute not only to their Apprentices, but also the Manx Gaelic community.
