I'm in 2nd year going into 3rd year and I'm going to Colaiste na Noileann tomorrow and I'm sooo nervous but I'm also excited. My 2 older brothers went and they loved it so hopefully I will too 😊
I had my first experience with the gealtacht this year and to say the least i was scared out of my mind goin into it mostly because of my lack of irish but i quickly realised as you said yourself you pick up words after hearing them a few times and you learn that speaking the language can be a bit of craic
American here... it's great that your school has you experience your country's native culture and language! American schools do their best to push Native Americans out of our minds and to have us not learn about and accept them.
Happy your supportive but native American s are a different ethnic group while this e ir IRISH people who have just have the language forced out of them
Going to Gaeltacht in June 2019 and I’m so excited!! Just wondering, do you have to participate in ALL activities? Let’s say I was uncomfortable doing an activity, would I have to do it?
Togha fir thú. Bhí an físeán seo ar fheabhas ar fad. Táim cinnte go n-éireoidh go maith leat sa saol atá romhat le do dhearcadh dearfach macánta. Grma.👍
I'm a first year rn and if this covid stuff is gone then I think ill go but the thing is Ive been learning Irish for like 3 years since I moved here from France and I cant speak it at all so I'm quite nervous about that
I might be going to the one on inis oirr but im really nervous to not undertsand when someone says something to me or when they ask me a question at any stage can you speak english ?
It varies from gaeltacht to gaeltacht on their opinion towards English. But everyone there will be helping you learn Irish in the best way possible. Genuinely you will be surprised with the speed at which you will start picking up Irish. Also make sure to enjoy yourself too!
I would advise contacting Lurgan but Cursa D is very exam focused and the standard of Irish is quite high. So more than likely depending on your level of Irish I would say do Cursa B or Cursa C 👍
Do they teach you much pronounciation and phonetics of the Irish language? I've noticed that the Irish of most city people and non-native/non-Gaeltacht people is very anglicised compared to that of the native speakers. (not much adherence to the broad/slender system, differences between broad and slender R's, L's and such, little to no voicing of lenitions etc)
The whole course is focused on speaking Irish (which is neglected in school) so yes and very little on written Irish. In my opinion this is the best way to learn Irish
@@DaraghJordan That's good. I'd imagine it's difficult to teach the fine details to a large class though, did many of ye leave being able to make the r sounds?
@@DaraghJordan Ah yeah, probably not so. I suppose you aren't really judged on phonetics in the Leaving Cert oral anyway so it might not be considered the most important use of students time. Thanks!
@@DaraghJordan Táim ag freastal ar gaelscoil agus ba gaelscoil í mo bhunscoil chomh maith. Ar an drochuair afach, níl Gaeilge iomlán cruinn agam ach tá mé ábalta comhrá breá bheith agam. Ba mhian liom Gaeilge bheith mar céad teanga agam lá éigin afach!
Just a tip, If you go to the Irish Speaking areas of Ireland, many Ex-Provisional IRA fighters from Tyrone, Londonderry and Fermanagh left after the Good Friday Agreement to those areas, so they will harass anybody who has English Leanings, even if they have an English sounding surname. I highly recommend that you don't go to Irish College during the Summer. Do not get swayed by the Republican Agenda.
Tá tú chomh mícheart 😂 Tá cúpla poblachteas i nGaeltachtaí mar tá síad bród nár teanga dúchais ach ag an deireadh an lae níl an Gaeltacht chomh difriúil in aghaidh áiteanna i nÉireann eile.

What do people wear daily in the college (like jeans/shorts or comfy/sporty)
People just wear comfortable sporty clothes but again whatever you are comfortable with.

Thanks for commenting! Honestly the gaetacht adjusts to all levels, genuinely doesn’t matter what level you start at you will inprove!
@@DaraghJordan thanks now I just have to hope that it'll be on
Fingers crossed
Well done for going and doing irish because most people who move her don't do irish and especially don't go to the gaeltacht
I might be going to the one on inis oirr but im really nervous to not undertsand when someone says something to me or when they ask me a question at any stage can you speak english ?

Anyone going Cúrsa C in Lurgan 2019??
Blathnaid V omg me too! Tá sceitimíní orm ahaha
Beidh sé iontach!

Is Lurgan strict ❤️
Not as strict as other Gaeltachts. If youre making an effort you'll be fine :)
Daragh Jordan thank you ❤️
I am a Junior in U.S. high school (5th year). Is it possible for me to join Cúrsa D at Coláiste Lurgan?
I would advise contacting Lurgan but Cursa D is very exam focused and the standard of Irish is quite high. So more than likely depending on your level of Irish I would say do Cursa B or Cursa C 👍
Love the Gaeltacht
Ya it is amazing!
I’m only in 4th class!
Anyone going to colaiste an phiarsaigh in donegal cursa c

@@DaraghJordan That's good. I'd imagine it's difficult to teach the fine details to a large class though, did many of ye leave being able to make the r sounds?
No it’s a lot of small classes max 15-20 people and tbh I’m not sure ahah
@@DaraghJordan Ah yeah, probably not so. I suppose you aren't really judged on phonetics in the Leaving Cert oral anyway so it might not be considered the most important use of students time.
Thanks!
No worries!
how many people were in you cúrsa (all together and your age)?
Em in lurgan in my course there is around 550 people but id say between 100-150 were my age
Do you know what lurgans app is?
Ya you use it at lurgan it just helps eith your spoken irish. It is called oide
An bhfuil Gaeilge agat féin?
Nilim líofa fós ach ba mhaith liom a bheith liofa. Chuaigh mé chuig an gaeltacht dhá uair agus tú fhéin?
@@DaraghJordan Táim ag freastal ar gaelscoil agus ba gaelscoil í mo bhunscoil chomh maith. Ar an drochuair afach, níl Gaeilge iomlán cruinn agam ach tá mé ábalta comhrá breá bheith agam. Ba mhian liom Gaeilge bheith mar céad teanga agam lá éigin afach!
Ar fheabhas!

Anyone going lurgan cúrsa B 2019
Nah Cursa C is where it is at
Me!!!!
It will be great!
Me lol acc terrified
Youre going to have a great time!
I will hate Gaeltacht
Have you ever gone?
Never go to the Gaeltacht. Simple
Just a tip, If you go to the Irish Speaking areas of Ireland, many Ex-Provisional IRA fighters from Tyrone, Londonderry and Fermanagh left after the Good Friday Agreement to those areas, so they will harass anybody who has English Leanings, even if they have an English sounding surname. I highly recommend that you don't go to Irish College during the Summer. Do not get swayed by the Republican Agenda.

Tá tú chomh mícheart 😂 Tá cúpla poblachteas i nGaeltachtaí mar tá síad bród nár teanga dúchais ach ag an deireadh an lae níl an Gaeltacht chomh difriúil in aghaidh áiteanna i nÉireann eile.
