Gaeilge

Welcome to the new Irish Page. We want to give parents and guardians a chance to share the Irish language journey with their children.

It is great to expose yourself to Irish as much as possible, the following are some ideas for the adults at home:
➢ Podcasts: One Minute Irish, Bitesize Irish Gaelic Podcast, Beo ar Éigean
➢ Irish social media accounts on Instagram: @gaeilgesabhaile @bandeadd @mise.poilin @caoimhechats
➢ TG4
➢ Radio na Gaeltachta

Le go n-éireodh le páiste an dara teanga a fhoghlaim, caithfidh sé/sí a bheith nochta don teanga sin. Central to the successful learning of a second language is exposure to the language.
Seo thíos roinnt eolais agus áiseanna atá ar fáil ar líne chun cuidiú le teaghlaigh ar mian leo cur lena gcumas Gaeilge agus lena húsáid sa bhaile.
