ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Gaelscoileanna

Gaelscoileanna are special schools where children are taught mainly in the Irish language. This means the teachers speak to the children in Irish and the children learn subjects like maths, history, and science in Irish too!

It's like going to a school where everyone speaks a different language than you're used to, but instead of everyone speaking English, they speak Irish.

But don't worry, even if you don't know any Irish before you start, the teachers will help you to learn it and you'll be speaking like a pro in no time!

These schools are popular in Ireland because they help to promote and preserve the Irish language and culture. Plus, it's pretty cool to be able to speak another language fluently!
