“New thing related to Irish” + “Teaching methods are outdated” – headlines we’ve been reading for decades.
The weeuns should just start replying in the language in class. Sort of like a pop up Gaeltacht. See what happens.
Obviously this is redundant in gaelscoil.
I don’t know about this. I’ve just started beginners’ Irish language classes this year and it’s already going better than when I was in school. We had an actual discussion on fadas, seimhius and urús and how to make sense of mh/bh/dh etc. We use little matching games online (very Duolingo but effective). I’m currently listening to Raidio na Life, the instructor is got to send suggestions of TikTokers and Insta people to follow so it already feels more modern and useful in terms of how I like to learn.
It’s controversial I imagine but I fail to see why we can’t mandate all primary school students are taught through Irish. I understand the argument against that at second level.
Appreciate many teachers wouldn’t have the Irish required but sure then offer to pay teachers more who teach in gaelscoils and I imagine many will make the effort to relearn? Within 10 years we could permanently reinstate Irish in this country as a major language for all future generations.
The biggest waste of time in my entire life was doing Irish for ten years and not being able to speak it, many of my peers fell into addiction depression and suicide , when I think how much more beneficial that time would have been spent on some sort of mental health wellness class it makes me despondent
[An Casán](https://github.com/cavedave/La-Bui-Bealtaine/blob/main/casain2.txt) by Séamus de Bhilmot 1928 is public domain and taught to thousands of kids a year as its on the junior cert. its under 30 minutes long and there is no audiobook.
Junior and Leaving cert Irish books and plays. Two of about 2 dozen have an audiobook
The 7 Irish language books on the Irish times list of the 100 most important irish artworks. One has an audiobook.
Dahl, Colfer, Verne, Rowling, Tolkien and other popular kids books already translated into Irish. Its easier to read a book in a new language if you’ve read it in english. And easy to get a top up of leaning using an audiobook later. No audiobooks.
This one is fixable pretty cheaply, half the country have podcasting gear.
