I went to a mainstream school and couldn't lipreading Irish so didn't do it, I'd be lost in the Gaelteach, my 4 year old has more Irish than I do.. 😆
The thing is we were only there for one night and we spent the afternoon in Galway city. We were not around long enough to meet many locals, and it is off-season. The owner of the B and B was speaking english. We went for dinner that evening at a gastropub in Bearna and many of the staff were not Irish at all.
