    There's a newspaper supplement that comes with the Irish Independent every Wednesday called Foinse. It's basically a small newspaper written in Irish! What I like to do is have a read through it and underline any words I don't understand. Then put them into sentences after looking them up. You'd be surprised how much you remember! :)

    Even though, I'm seriously anti-rote learning, I've been practically forced into it in Irish, for my Composition, Seen Prose and Seen Poetry! My teacher is constantly examining these on us, and if we haven't the answer the way he taught us, there'll be trouble, so I just gave in! :rolleyes: So maybe you could try that! At the very least learn off a few nice phrases for each question.

    For the Unseen stuff, there's not much you can do but practice! Just do some exam questions until you soon start getting better! :)

    Best of Luck! :)

    TG4 FTW, even with the subtitles.

    Read Irish novels, watch half an hour of TG4 every night. Go through comprehensions in your Irish book and make notes of the words you don't know and learn them.
