Ordinary Irish

Victoria.

I have pretty much ignored this subject since the orals but going to get going over the next few days.

So any other people doing ordinary?
What are you covering?

I was thinking....

• job letter
• holiday letter
• accident story (alone in house, walking home)
• party story or concert
• Jack, faoiseomh, bimse buan and gealt
• Clare, fiche bliain and bean og
• vocab for the tape

Accident story definitely. Do you have the book an dtuigeann tu? Thats brilliant for the study tips on paper one. I know paper two is only worth half the marks than paper one is, but DO NOT NEGLECT PREPARING FOR IT! It's where most people fall down in the exam. An dtuigeann tu is also great for the aurals. It gives deadly vocab! I wouldnt stress too much about irish, you'll find alot of things will come back to you!

No I don't have a text book unfortunately we were just getting notes and I have a revise wise that was good for oral questions so I might look at that again. Yeh lots of people in my class see paper 2 as a waste so we were concentrating on 1, wish we did a bit more revision for 2. Thanks

Ah that's ringin a few bells now
My excuse of not doing it is now gone ha!
I know it's just a pain in the butt because I do so many other subjects and there is no way that I would count any points from it or anything!

Yeah I'll glance through it the weekend before and I plan to scrape a pass from it. I don't know if I even need Irish, I wasn't born here but sure I'll just aim to pass

I'm counting it for points. Yet I've not done much of it at all, but I find Irish weird I can learn sentences and stuff from just going over it for a bit whereas English I can't do that. :pac:
