She spells it Mair\u00e9ad Nic Giolla Mhich\u00edl. Other experts such as digital researchers and learning technologists will join Professor Mhich\u00edl to impart knowledge.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want to give first, second and third generations of the Irish diaspora an opportunity to learn more about Irish language and culture,\u201d Prof Nic Giolla Mhich\u00edl said, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irishtimes.com\/news\/education\/dcu-targets-global-diaspora-with-free-irish-language-course-online-1.3366014\">according to The Irish Times<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe also want to ensure that learners can come to\u00a0Ireland and experience the Irish language first hand in the Gaeltachta\u00ed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The course was announced Tuesday by the Minister of State with responsibility for the Irish Language, Joe McHugh.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI believe that this course will not only be of great interest to the Irish community and diaspora abroad, but also to many Irish people here at home who would like to re-engage with the language, as well as new communities who may be connecting with the language for the first time,\u201d Mr. McHugh said, according to The Irish Times.<\/p>\n<h1>Curses and Blessings for the Irish Diaspora<\/h1>\n<p>Educators anticipate that learners might just come for the Irish and stay for the curses. The wish that every bone in an adversary\u2019s body is broken, for example, reads as \u201cgo mbristear gach cn\u00e1mh id\u2019 chorp.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSuperstitions regarding curses are also mentioned as a warning to those who might feel the need to go down that route,\u201d a DCU spokeswoman told The Irish Times. \u201cStudents also learn how these phrases live on and are or were part of the living culture, especially in the sean-n\u00f3s singing tradition.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While trends of emigration from the Isle of Erin date back nearly one thousand years, the diaspora began in earnest in the 18<sup>th<\/sup> century. Since that time, between 9 and 10 million people have left their home country\u2014most commonly for the U.K. or the U.S. Today, some 86 million people around the world claim some Irish ethnicity. While socioeconomic forces continued to drive people from their home en masse into the 20<sup>th<\/sup> century, DCU hopes to reconnect the descendants of Irish immigrants with their ancestral language and culture.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MOOCs are classically touted as avenues to higher wages and better jobs, but an Irish university has launched a course hoping to reconnect a community.
