The gaeltacht is almost a rite of passage in many irish teens lives – today were getting a look behind the scenes.  Orla Ní Fhinneadha, has been giving people a real behind-the-scenes look at life as a bean an tí through her “day in the life” videos - from preparing meals to keeping everything running smoothly for students staying in the Gaeltacht. Her content gives a unique insight into the world students step into each summer, where Irish isn’t just a subject in school, but the language of everyday life.   

 In this conversation, we explore what that experience is really like, why it matters for students, and how young people can make the most of their time in the Gaeltacht.
