Gaeilge teacher and influencer Mollie (@irishwithmollie) returns to That'll Teach You to help us prepare for Seachtain na Gaeilge (only the Irish could invent a week that's 17 days long). Jane and Hugh are fresh off a serious snowball fight with about a hundred small children, but manage to settle down in time to discuss activities and approaches to use in the classroom to help promote Gaeilge during Seachtain na Gaeilge.
