why do my kids laugh when I speak Irish?

Cé a labhraíonn Gaeilge le do pháiste agus cad é an comhthéacs?
Tá páistí réadúil - ní thig leat athrú ó theanga amháin go teanga eile gan comhthéacs nua a bhunú. Is féidir é seo a dhéanamh trí chluichí ar leith a imirt trí Ghaeilge, Gaeilge a labhairt le múinteoirí agus muid ag fágáil páistí ar scoil nó á dtógáil, Gaeilge a labhairt le daoine ar leith taobh amuigh den scoil.

Who speaks what language to your child and in what context?
Children are very pragmatic – you cannot just switch to a new language without introducing a new context. This may be using Irish for certain games, speaking in Irish to the teachers when leaving off/collecting children, speaking Irish to certain people outside school experience
