In response to growing demand, the Ulster-Scots Agency has created Dinnae Houl Yer Wheest, a six-week introductory course to the Ulster-Scots language.
The course covers all aspects of literacy: speaking, reading, writing and listening. Participants have access to:
Everyday Ulster-Scots – Learn practical words and phrases you can use right away
WhatsApp Support Group – Stay connected, ask questions, and share your progress with fellow learners
Fun, Friendly & Informal – No pressure, just good crack and great learning
Why It Matters – Discover the rich culture and heritage behind the language.
So, if you are curious about Ulster-Scots, want to build confidence using the words you already know, or fancy learning to write in the Ulster-Scots language, let us know and we may be able to bring the course to an area near you!
The course, which is free to attend, is a fun, informal and interactive way to encourage people of all ages to learn more about, and engage with, the Ulster-Scots language, but don't just take our word for it. Check out this great video from NVTV of one of our recent courses below.
Details of upcoming Dinnae Houl Yer Wheest courses will be shared on our website and social media channels.
