Videos
Movies are a great way to have fun, and they are also a great way to learn a language. With that in mind, the AILDT filmed both the premiere of Aisling as well as the 2004 performance to spread the word both literally and figuratively. Below, you can find clips from Aisling, as well as links to other San Diego Irish language videos.

Though the Queen hates to be the bad guy, she often needs to remind the King when one of his parties is running a little too late. Here we see the King dispersing the crowd. (Wink! Wink!) |
