RTÉjr: Feel the grá for Gaeilge with all-new Fia's Fairies
It's time to go back to Fairy Island with RTÉjr. The new series of Fia's Fairies is back to sprinkle some magic onto your screens.
The preschool show takes your small ones on a magical Irish language-learning adventure with 6-year-old Fia and her best friend Ameer.
Once again our young heroes are joined by Bláithín and Cuán, two bilingual fairies who live on Fairy Island. And they have a new friend - say hello to Rua the adventurous young fox!
The fairies, along with other the Gaeilgeoirí animal residents of Fairy Island, help Fia and Ameer learn new words in Irish while also teaching them about kindness, acceptance, and bravery - and they want to bring everyone along for the fun!
We are back with 24 all-new episodes with new places to see, plus plenty of fun phrases as Gaeilge for everyone at home to show everyone that's great to speak Gaeilge - it's perfect for the classroom too. Ar aghaidh linn!
Bígí ag caint - everyone has a favourite thing to say in Irish:
FIA - Most Likely To Say: Go híontach! (Wonderful!)
AMEER - Most Likely To Say: Ar fheabhas! (That's awesome!)
CUÁN - Most Likely To Say: Ar aghaidh linn! (Let's go!)
BLÁITHÍN - Most Likely To Say: Is féidir linn! (We can figure this out!)
BANBA - Most Likely To Say: Ná bí buartha! (Don't worry!") Banba only speaks as Gaeilge.
CHEEPCHEEP - Most Likely To Say: Maith sibh! (Well done!)
PIP - Most Likely To Say: Cad a dhéanfaimid? (What are we going to do?)
RUA - Most Likely To Say: Tar liom! (Follow me!)
If you can't wait, you can look back on Series 1 and all the new words we learned here!
Produced by Little Moon Animation, this brand new season sees Julia Dillon stepping in as the voice of Fia, taking over from Alisha Weir (Matilda The Musical), who first brought the character to life in Season One. Fan-favourite Elsie Akinduko returns as Ameer, and joining the cast is Cara Mannix, voicing Rua.
