Gaelic Language schools in Connemara - Galway

Most Irish people speak ONLY English. Very few of my friends speak a second language, it is just not in us. If you are coming to Ireland without being able to speak English(which is highly unlikely since you are reading this), then bring someone along who does.

Otherwise, a good tip might be to book into a Hostel for the first 2 nights in Ireland and find a traveling buddy. Booking into a hotel where one of the receptionists speak your language is also an option. Otherwise, buying a good dictionary and phrase book is a must.

Alternatively, you can be the tourist that looks stupid every time he tries to explain how wonderful or horrid his Irish experience has been (hands waving in the air, making animal noises with one’s mouth)
