Fáilte romhaibh go léir. Starting in an Irish-medium school can feel like a big step, especially if Irish is not spoken at home.

Please do not worry😊

Children pick up the language gradually through songs, routines, play, pictures, gestures, repetition and daily classroom life. 🎶🎳⛹️‍♂️

It is not about being perfect from day one. It is about growing confidence, little by little.

Gaeloideachas.ie explains that immersion education is not a “sink-or-swim” approach; teachers use body language, pictures, tone and routine to help children understand from the beginning.

Things to Remember🤔💭

Your child may not understand everything at first. That is normal.

Your child may answer in English at the start. That is normal too.

Some children speak Irish quickly; others listen quietly first.

Tiredness in the first few weeks is common because their brain is working hard.

Everything settles with routine, patience and encouragement
