Depends on the poem AFAIK like for spailpin you can get asked about the rhyme or historical background
but the others should be just the basics! Meafar in colscaradh

The struggle to find something to wear for the grad.

My friend ordered this gorgeous dress last year for her debs, got it like a week before debs and it looked like a curtain #madeinchina

My mother has been telling me, I hope you enjoy the peace of the leaving cert cause you'll have the summer in the Bog and cleaning the house to make up for all the jobs you've missed because "study". :pac:

Imagine doing geography, biology, french and history. That'd be horrible.

Substitute geography for chemistry and that is my leaving cert right there!

Oh, it was (Just me, or was that the easiest listening comprehension ever? They spoke soooooo slowly)
but ... .paper 2 ... :L

It was the first listening comprehension I've done other than the mocks :pac:

I got like 20/60 in the mock cause I didn't realise it only played twice, unlike French that does it three times.

It was so easy to understand though!

Ugh paper 2, I'm preparing Dís and an Spailpín fanach, leaving everything else haha

LoveLamps

I was disappointed we didn't get to hear from my pal Dónal from Donegal in Irish :pac:

Lads for OL Irish p2 - what should I look over (predictions haha)
I just need a pass but I've been doing French all evening, suppose I may look over Irish..... I don't even know what poems/stories we've done.... HALP

BTW if any of you are doing French and not following @PetitTweetCork you're mad! So useful! (and no I don't work for them)

Big thanks to whoever decided to put biology and Irish paper 2 on the same day, really appreciate it.

Idk I have a feeling about Gnathrud (mostly cause its the one I know least well, and sod's law.)
Once you know Dís you essentially know Colscaradh anyway.
Its the reading comp i'm more worried about.

Shout-out to the genius who thought French should come directly after 2 days of Irish, as well.

I am wrecked tired! How is it the leaving cert is so tiring?

Kept thinking of French today when I was trying to do my essay :rolleyes:

LoveLamps

French is sooooo much easier than Irish!
I do OL Irish and am a fairly average ordinary student (ie c/d)

But I pick up and remember French so much easier... I thought you were either bad at languages or good at them

Aspiring

French is a lot easier to pick up. Once you know a few verbs learning more becomes easier and easier.

Verbs aren't taught well in Irish, at all.

In my experience, not much is taught well !

Oh sorry :eek:

I don't feel people shoud have to apologise for this in reason, everyone's different. Like I've been annoyed about getting 'only 70%' in a Physics test, but there are people who'd be delighted with 70% in Ordinary Physics.

Well, essentially, seasann Jimmy do na gathdaoine neamhurchoideacha i mBeil Feirste le linn na dtriobloidi and he dies suddenly at the end indicating cruatan an shaoil aaaaaand then go on about how this is a universal theme even though it actually really very specific (???)

other than that its just treithe Jimmy - he's basically the bom-diggidy, fear clainne, duine tuisceannach, grámhar, cara dilis, etc etc
