“Tune into Italian was one of the best attended events of Culture Night 2010 in Cork. 200 people came to hear the language spoken and sung as never before!
What an entertaining evening it was with host Fergal Kavanagh who showed such tremendous energy and enthusiasm. With ease we learned vocabulary, grammar, and history all while singing our favourite Italian songs. Fergal’s funny and interactive language lesson, including all the recognizable Italian gestures, is a must for anyone who wants to get to the heart of the Italian language/culture.
Thanks Fergal for a memorable evening of music, song and much laughter. Can’t wait for your return to Douglas Library.”
