    Can anyone please help me out? Which ones are the easiest ones to learn/tipped to come up? Our teacher is hopeless and we haven't even the poetry done, never mind looking at this :( Thanks!

    learn gaeilge mar teanga ceilteach, ogham, gluaiseanna, Ruraiocht (and an example of it),An dan direach and dan gra, Colaiste lovain, Aisling Pholitiuil, na cuirteanna filiocht, meath na gaeilge (18th and 19th century) and bealoidis na gaeilge (youll know some of this from cearrbhach mc caba).

    That should have you covered even though its still alot to learn. Forget about poets or writers. There are too many ot them and if you learn opne you may aswell learn them all.

    The topics above cover wht has come up in the exam papers for the last 5 or 6 years.

    Thanks for that :D

    I thought they're were two different "bealoidis na gaeilge" :confused: Someone said there's the Cearbach one and then the Stair one :confused:

    Ya but bealoidis is basically the same for both. Cearrbhach is a good example of a bealoidis story because of the whole 7 years thing, the 3 wishes etc....

    An Ruraíocht or An Fhiannaíocht, one of them almost always comes up bar last year(there was war because of it) Which hopefully will garauntee 1 of them for this year!
    I'm thinking of just learning those as then I'll have half the marks for the Stair and that will do me fine, don't wanna waste my time studying my arse off for like 4%

    Don't forget and Mathair, you've probably learn't something about the things done by 3 and the fiannaiocht imagery!

    I'm not to sure of the ruraiocht or fiannaiocht, did you notice the official sample paper didn't have either of them?
