The Speaking Gap
There's only so much speaking time in a class.
Students get confident in Irish by speaking it. But in a class of thirty, each student only gets a few minutes to talk, even in the best lessons.
Gaeilgeoir doesn't replace the teacher. It gives every student a tutor they can practise speaking with between lessons, so they arrive at class more confident and ready to take part.
