Cúpla Focal

Gaeloideachas has released a new booklet called Déan Comhrá ‘Cúpla Focal’ for Parents and Guardians. While the booklet is aimed towards parents of children attending Gaelscoileanna, there are lots of simple phrases and vocabulary which could be used informally in any home.

"There are many benefits of speaking Irish at home with your child and we hope that these words and phrases will help make Irish part of your daily routine. You can help your child build on their confidence and improve their Irish by giving them lots of opportunities to speak Irish outside of the classroom. It will help them greatly to have regular, real reasons for using the language. If they see that you are enthusiastic and positive about the language, they will be too! If you wish to learn Irish yourself, we highly recommended that you use this booklet

alongside our website IrishforParents.ie. You will find many excellent resources on the site which have been specifically developed for the language requirements of parents and guardians of children in Irish-medium education. The website will help you build vocabulary based on relevant topics, help your understanding of spoken Irish through video and audio files and you can learn more about language structures. We hope you have fun on this journey together. 

Bain triail as!"

Seachtain na Gaeilge atá ann arís! 

It's amazing to hear na páistí ag baint úsáid as a gcuid Gaeilge. Everyone is making an iarracht mór to use their cúpla focail. The múinteoirí have cartaí glas to give to any child they catch ag caint as Gaeilge, and the shed is also a Pop-Up Gaeltacht! 

Energia have loads of information about events for Seachtain na Gaeilge, and also frásaí anseo...https://www.energia.ie/why-energia-1/seachtain-na-gaeilge-le-energia-2018
