    Does anyone know where I can get these sliocht things? My teacher gave us out photocopies of them but I lost some of them and I don't think he'll photocopy more because he said at the start "if you lose these, I'm not photocopying more" :P

    Anyone know where I can get them (preferably for free)?

    It's a chunk of the oral, you have to read out a passage to show off your pronunciation. There's a list of about 15 of them, don't have to prepare them all though as far as I'm aware. They're in the back of "An dTuigeann Tú?", if you've got it!

    You only have to prepare 4 iirc.
    Your teacher usually picks them based on the dialect you have.
    Then in the oral itself the examiner picks out what one they want you to read out..or if the examiner is very nice some of them allow you to pick out what one you want to read

    Keep practising away, it's an easy bunch of marks to pick up for the Oral exam! It's worth 30 of the marks in the Oral overall. Doing well in the Oral will give you 25% before you even go in to the written exam.

    our teacher is perparing 10!! what she should have done is handed them out, spent a class quickly deciding between the class which 5 we'd like to do (be it smallest or easiest wording) and prep'ed them 5 and spent the time we are now wasting, revising!!!!:mad:

    What an utter waste of time preparing 10! Each group of 5 are set out in that way because they are more suitable to certain dialects, for example the first five are usually for munster candidates and so on.... Surely she should have know that!!

    i know!! she's doing 10 in class, wasting valuable class time, then we prep 5 to bring into the exam! its pointless!!
