Right firstly is anyone going to the Gaeltacht this year?
As you can see my timer is ticking and I'll so be leaving for the Galetacht myself. :hugesmile:.
The Gaeltacht for those who dont know is kinda the equivalent to French College except you speak Irish and u are put in a house with about 12 of your peers. Usually secondary school students go and you live with a Bean an Tí who cooks and washes clothes for you. Bean an Tí translates into Woman of the house.
You can be put into a house where there is a family already living either.
You go to classes in the morning the are short and the rest of the day you spend having what we call "craic". !
