This week on Bitesize Pobal, we followed our Gaeilge Gach Lá rhythm with a short Cleachtadh an Lae each day.

Luan – Scríbhneoireacht
The writing prompt asked whether you prefer a few short holidays throughout the year or one longer holiday: An fearr leat cúpla saoire ghearr i rith na bliana nó saoire amháin atá níos faide?

Máirt – Foclóir agus Labhairt
In Tuesday’s Cleachtadh an Lae, we explored the word sliocht — a versatile word covering everything from marks and traces, to offspring and ancestry, to extracts from a book or scripture.

Céadaoin – Léitheoireacht
This week’s reading was a short piece about the life of Maidhc Dainín Ó Sé, the Kerry-born musician and writer whose creativity flourished right up until his passing in 2013.

Déardaoin – Éisteacht
Thursday’s prompt featured a fascinating video from thejournal.ie on the centuries-old tradition of seaweed harvesting in Ireland’s Gaeltacht and island communities.

Aoine – Nuacht
We finished the week by listening to a few headlines from the news — a great way to wrap up the week with real, contemporary Irish.
