You can give your child a very special gift! We are very fortunate to live in a place where children can grow up speaking Irish and English fluently. This brings an extra richness to their lives and gives them advantages as they grow up.

 

Small children learn languages very easily. They soak them up like sponges, especially if their parents encourage them.

 

By sharing Irish with our children from the time they are born, we give them advantages, which will last a lifetime. Even if as parents we are not fluent enough to speak only Irish at home, we can still make a very valuable contribution to our children by speaking Irish regularly to them.
