VOX POP: Coláiste Bhríde pupils on their favourite thing about the school

Sophia  

Is fearr liom Coláiste Bhríde mar tá roinn na Gaeilge ann. Tá na múinteoirí agus na cúntóirí iontach deas. Tá na hábhair suimiúil fosta. Is breá liom ealaín, corpoideachas, ceol agus drama. Tá cuid mhór cairde agus thig liom Gaeilge a labhairt leis na múinteoirí.

(I prefer Coláiste Bhríde because it has an Irish language department. The teachers and assistants are really nice. The subjects are also interesting. I love Art, PE, Music and Drama. I have a lot of friends and I can speak Irish with the teachers.)

Tá cuid mhór rudaí speisialta bainte leis an Ghaeilge. Tá sé cosúil le do theanga féin agus ní thuigeann duine ar bith eile ach amháin do chairde nó na daoine le Gaeilge. Níl Gaeilge ag cuid mhór daoine agus mothaím iontach speisialta.

(There are many special things associated with the Irish language. It's like your own language and no one else understands except your friends or the people who speak Irish. A lot of people don't speak Irish and I feel very special.)

Tá mé ag iarraidh cúpla poist a dhéanamh. Tá mé ag iarraidh bheith i mo mhúinteoir nó i mo chomhairleoir agus thig liom gaeilge a theagasc fosta. Beidh mé ábalta labhairt le daoine i nGaeilge agus i mBéarla.

(I'm trying to do a few jobs. I want to be a teacher or a counsellor and I can also teach Irish. I will be able to speak to people in Irish and English.)
