Irish Orals - HELP!

LittleMissLost

My Irish Oral is next monday and I'm absoloutly dreading it. I'm doing higher level.

Does anyone have any tips on how to stay calm?

Also and sentence fillers to make the conversation sound more natural? The Irish equivalent for "donc", "cet a dire", "bien sur" & all that jazz..

Oh and the examiner is from DONEGAL God help ud! "cad eee mar ataaaw tu" awh jeez!

Oh and I'm first on the list to go in (same for french) do you think this is a good or bad thing? Should I change it to be at a different time?
