Is Gaelic taught in all of Ireland schools? |
Travel Info Is Gaelic taught in all of Ireland schools? Travel Tips Hello, Not ALL of Irelands schools teach the Gaelic language, but I wish I had been taught the language instaed of doing it the way I am doing it now, because I keep getting dialectic pronunciations mixed up, Now when I was at School as a sprite of a boy, I had loads and loads of Latin thrust at me by the "brutal brothers" Ah well! I don't supposed it did my all that much harm, and stood me in good stead in my later life, and as to my responses at mass, well, I was always, at least as good as the priest, which showed I paid some good attention, but the homework was very difficult, and I never once got a strapping for getting it wrong, but to get back to what you were asking. If Irish was taught today in all Irish schools right from National school level, it would be a great feather in the cap of all my Irish bretheren. I know my Daughjter has my Granddaughter in a Gaelscoil, and little Aisling Loves the language and herself is suffering no difficulty for the learning of our home Language, and is abl;e to chat to me in English too, with a smattering of irish for good measure, I hope all my Grandchildren in Galway, Roscomon and Clare learn to speak it, it would be a great thing they have learned, that their Grandad missed out on Bless them all. ................................. M Others As an option in almost all. Even in the North in most Catholic and multi faith schools. xxB I went to school in Belfast. yes, there are even a growing number of Gaelscoils, schools that teach everything in Irish. I did Irish for 12 years in school, and still only have a basic knowledge of it. I am better at French. It is a shame, but I always felt bullied into learning what was seen as a dead language, now like most of the population regret my lack of enthusiasm for the native tongue Yes in most of them it is compulsory but there are some multi domination schools and they do not. yes it's compulsory in all schools. to get in to college/university students have to sit the Leaving Certificate exams and they have to get at least 40% on the Irish, Maths and English exams to get accepted into college. there's not much enthusiasm about learning it-I'm in my final year at school, I've been learning the language for 14 years and, like most of my classmates, I can only speak basic Irish... no not in the north it is a foreign language we prefer english |
