Again speaking the language is the most enjoyable and
rewarding parts of learning any language. It can be frustrating at first but
the best way is to practice with someone else. Try speaking to some member of
your family in Irish for just 5 minutes using what you are practicing on
Duolingo. Keep it simple – Úsáid Gaeilge simplí; mar shampla Dia duit, Dia is
Mhuire duit, Conas atá tú, Tá mé go hiontach, Tá mé togha (sound), agus tú féin?
Add this week at the dinner table “Ba mhaith liom……” – I
would like….. mar shampla “Ba mhaith liom bainne le do thoil” – I would like
milk, please!

Work’, ‘Science on the Farm’ or ‘Science and Me’, and produce a one minute
video to engage and educate the public. Videos can be in English or Irish and
from just one student, or many, if video clips are edited together.
The best video will win €1000 for the school or youth
organisation they are representing and will be screened for the public at the
Galway Science and Technology Festival in November.
Since 2013, more than 13,000 young people have taken part in
ReelLIFE SCIENCE in over 400 schools and groups around Ireland, and we have
awarded over €25,000 directly to schools and youth organisations.
Closing date for entries is this Friday May 29th and, on our
