Find the Gaeilge i do chroí! | with Molly Nic Céile

Find the Gaeilge i do chroí! | Learn to embrace our native tongue unashamedly with Molly Nic Céile

In November 2019, Molly Nic Céile started a YouTube and Instagram page, called ‘Gaeilge i mo chroí’ to share exactly that, the Irish in her heart, with those who never had the chance to learn and those who wanted to re-learn. Not a native speaker herself, Molly started out making videos about simple words and phrases as Gaeilge but as her audience grew so did her passion which led her to write her first book in September 2024, ‘Gaeilge i mo chroí: Irish in my heart – Your Guide to Loving and Living the Irish Language’, in which she encourages the reader to leave behind any ill feelings towards the language and discover the richness that it has to offer. At this event, Molly will delve into the key lessons and advice that she offers in her book for those who would like to start or restart their journey with the Irish language.

I mí na Samhna 2019, thosaigh Molly Nic Céile leathanach YouTube agus Instagram dar teideal ‘Gaeilge i mo chroí’ chun an rud sin go díreach a roinnt, an Ghaeilge ina croí, leo siúd nár tugadh an deis dóibh í a fhoghlaim agus leo siúd a theastaigh uathu í a fhoghlaim arís. Cé nach cainteoir dúchais í féin, thosaigh Molly amach ag déanamh físeán faoi fhocail agus nathanna simplí as Gaeilge, ach de réir mar a d’fhás a lucht féachana, mhéadaigh a paisean freisin, rud a spreag í chun a céad leabhar a scríobh i Meán Fómhair 2024: ‘Gaeilge i mo chroí: Irish in my heart – Your Guide to Loving and Living the Irish Language’. Sa leabhar seo, spreagann sí an léitheoir chun aon mhíshásamh a bhaineann leis an teanga a chur i leataobh agus saibhreas na Gaeilge a aimsiú agus a thuiscint. Ag an ócáid seo, pléifidh Molly na príomhcheachtanna agus na moltaí a roinneann sí sa leabhar dóibh siúd ar mhaith leo a dturas féin leis an nGaeilge a thosú nó a athtosú.
