Not the most encouraging introduction in a language learning book.

Tá eagla orm.

FWIW I don't think there's any basis to this claim. And I didn't buy the book. Who would be confident with a teacher who says that something is a nightmare but not impossible?

@padraic We were having a conversation with language educators and educationalists from UL and MIC the other day, and one of the themes that came up was that Irish language teacher training is a world of its own, with its own traditions and methods, that doesn't engage with "foreign" language teaching or with language teaching specialists.

@bthalpin that's interesting.

The likes of Gaelchultúr seem to have embraced the different European certificate levels. Surprising that school teacher training wouldn't also do this.

@padraic I think the only thing more conservative than primary teachers is primary teaching teacher trainers.
