An mhaith le aon duine de scudu gaeilge a chleactadh? Tá me an nervíseach mar níl aon obair a deanta agam! Cad a deanfaidh mé ma se do thol e? Tá ceist agam - how do u pronounce words such as
Fhéadfadh
Bhíodh
crochadh
lasmuigh
d'fhaigheadh

basically most Modh Coinilach words? Cad é na ceisteanna ata le ullmhu againn? Cabhru mise

abercrombie

Fhéadfadh = aid-ach
Bhíodh = V-ach
crochadh = cruc-ach
lasmuigh = lass-mwigh//lass-mwuh
d'fhaigheadh = die-ach

i've prepared what would you do if:
-you were principal
-were president/taoiseach
-won the lotto
-moved to the country
-you didn't get enough points in the leaving for your desired course

stuff like that

I did mine last tuesday and the examiner was nasty!
He asked me five Mó Chionilach (spelling?)
What would I do to improve respect for Irish?
How would I change the Irish course to improve it?
What would I do if I was Minister for Education?
Where would I like to live, and what would I do there?
And finally, what would I do if I caught a Drug Dealer?

he was evil! Though everyone keeps saying to me I must have done well because of the amount of conditional I had to answer.
Other stuff that came up for me was: do I like the school, difference between the country and the city, how I get to school, my area, what I was gonna do next year and what I'd do after the oral.

EDIT: By the way, I do Ordinary level. Thing is though I'm near enough fluent in Irish when I'm speaking but I can hardly write the language, hence me dropping down.

"Fhéadfadh = aid-ach"

my teacher says you can say it that way, or "-aid-oo", same with all of them... "ooo" instead of "uck"..

ahaha i think that made sense.. ahaha...

gabháil - ga-wall
bealach - bal-ach

aye in our classes we have them 2 ^ completely mixed up, rev/row.. whatever we feel like.. well, i always say rev, but noone is worried, cos i'd say our irish is a mixture of all the dialects, due to y'know, us east coasters having none of our own really :rolleyes:

How did some people have the Irish Oral last week? I thought it was French or is it different around the country?

Rockerette

its different around the country i think?

from what someone told me...

in the southern half(ish?) they had irish first maybe?
and the northern areas had French/German/Spanish first?

and then vice versa for next week..?


maybe im wrong..!

d4gurl

d4gurl

smemon

d-day tomorrow for some of ye im sure break a leg.

they're saving the best 'til last as im up on thursday/friday. im terrified and shaking with nerves at the thought of it

it'd b a laugh to go in and just talk english an t-am ar fad. or else learn about 10mins of stuff of by heart and keep talking until the time is up, not letting the examiner speak.

if all else fails ive got a plan so re-direct the questions back to the examiner..."inis dom faoi do theach?" "bheul, tá sé go deas, ach cad faoi DO theach? Déan cur síos ar do theach..."

chill out girl, your panicking. deep breaths. go in there and talk about what youve prepared. if sumtin else comes up, give a quick response and divert the question to something youve learned.

eg- "so you'll be studying pharmacy, tell me about the health system in ireland....."
well, i think it's flawless and i couldnt do a better job myself, speaking of myself..... i like computers and spend all day on them....boards.ie is so addictive....the lastest craze is bebo. bla bla..."

just think like me and you'll be grand, just say to yourself, what would smemon think?
