    Is mór an spórt é spleodar, beidh an-chraic agat.
    Beidh tú uaigneach i dtosach, b'fhéidir, ach déanfaidh tú cairde nua ann, agus imeoidh an t-uaigneas de réir a chéile.
    Beidh neart le déanamh ann, spraoi, agus spórt agus céilí san oíche.
    Ba bhreá liom a bheith ag dul ann freisin, ach tá mé ró-shean anois, faraor.

    Ah love don't worry, I started going to Spleodar when I was 10 :P You'll have a great time there and just between you and me, they will let you slip one English word in in your first couple of days because you're obviously changing from speaking English to Irish and you're only 13 so I suspect you are going to Ros Muc/Corr na Mona. At first you'll want to go home but trust me there is always lovely people there and your Bean an Tí is like a second mammy :) Join in on all the craic and have fun you'll enjoy yourself and your parents/family are allowed to visit twice during your stay. You'll love it, don't worry!

    Can't see any reason for you to be worried about the Irish rule. You have Irish, all you need to do is use it.

    As for the rest, everyone else in your age group is going to be fairly nervous for the first few days too. Just be nice and friendly and you should have no problems. And make sure to shower, people generally like you more if your not smelly. ;)
