Tomorrow Irish!

DublinArnie

How do you feel? Irish .. probably one of the hardest subjects if done in higher level. Done any study? Planning to? I'm planning to study a lot today .

Goodluck everyone! Feel free to discuss Gaeigle!

It's basically just like French, just more in-depth. In the letter they are generally testing your vocab and grammar because you can't plan for what will come up.

I already have 36% from the Irish oral. So I'm aiming for a C. I'd be still happy with a D. Absolutely thrilled with a B.

It couldn't be simpler.
There's a picture than has to match the corresponding text.
EG, Picture of a car ----> Carr
etc

Can't help you with aililiu sorry but here's some tips that might help :-)
P1
-Léamhthuiscint: Try try try your best to write your answers in your own words, even if you just change one word from the answer in the passage!
-Grammar: Rewrite the passage completely and underline the verbs changed (you'll lose all marks if you only write the verbs)
-Scéal/Eachtra: Throw in a few seanfhocail, saorbriathra or modh coinníollach , the examiner will be very impressed
P2
-Prós: Same as the léamhthuiscint really
-Studied prós: Know your studied well
-Filíocht: Probably the most difficult part of the paper! Refer to the 'gluais' to try and work out unusual words.
-Studied filíocht: Again know it well
-Litir: Have an opening and closing paragraph preprared(This will pass you on the letter already) and make sure to have an address for abroad and the Gaeltacht

Hope that helped!

As many as you want as long as they're relevant and you don't use one in every second sentence!

Is this coming from someone who just asked what Matcháil meant?

:rolleyes:

Our teacher gets us to put at least once in every single sentence. I end up running out of them or having to repeat them at the end.

Also just wanted to add instead of using one like 'Bhí eagla and domhain orm' that the examiner will see a hundred times, use an alternative like 'Bhí me sceimhlithe i mo bheata'(I was frightened out of my life) or 'Bhí mé ag crith le heagla'(I was shaking with the fear)

Any tips for the Cluastuiscint? I am bricking it for that section alone.
