A gaeltacht is an area where people speak the Irish language. You go there to learn Irish, by being exposed to it every day. While there, you can have all sorts of daily activities. A gaeltacht is normally in a rural area, so there is always plenty to do. You'd also have classes. There would be special social occasions, like dances or music, again giving you a chance to meet native speakers. Being in all these kinds of situations enables you to engage in all kinds of topics to talk about and so improve your knowledge of the language. They are also fun places to be!
