Nuair atá na paistí ag baint taitneamh as an ábhar foghlaimíonn siad é níos éasca.
Tá sé mar an gcéanna maidir le foghlaim na Gaeilge.

Just wondering if the above sentence is correct? Go raibh maith agat.

I'm having trouble translating ag baint and a bhaineann in the above sentences. I assume they are the verbal noun and present tense, respectively, of the verb bain, which seems to have a lot of meanings, but I can't get any of them to make sense here. (I'm probably just overlooking one.)

Could someone please help me out? Thanks in advance.
