iRadio's Groupchat
Valerie McHugh is joined by Eamon, founder of Gaeilgeoir Guides, to chat about the Irish language revival – and he’s calling in live from his travels in China.
Eamon shares how his new Irish-learning app, Hey Rua, is built around speaking out loud, with native recordings from Connemara, Kerry and Donegal, pronunciation feedback, games, and guided everyday conversations (from ordering a coffee to saying where you’re from).
They also talk social media’s role in making Irish more visible, why you don’t need to be fluent to be a “Gaeilgeoir”, and what needs to change in how Irish is taught in schools.
