Éist leis an Dr Muiris Ó Laoire ag caint faoin mbealach ina sealbhaíonn páistí teangacha, difríochtaí idir sealbhú an chéad agus an dara teanga, an dátheangachas agus impleachtaí praiticiúla do mhúinteoirí. Labhraíonn sé freisin faoin sealbhú teanga agus múineadh agus foghlaim na Gaeilge. Trí Bhéarla atá an chéad chuid den chomhra, agus leantar ar aghaidh trí Ghaeilge sa chuid dheireanach.
