** Russian 2014 - Before / After **

ELynch96

Basically I seen the a thread for Swedish so I thought I'd make one for Russian.

spurious

Thanks but I think we have enough threads going now.
Are you sitting Russian?

ELynch96

I wouldn't of made it if I wasn't

spurious

Have you attended classes on Russian culture?
It comes up every year.

ELynch96

Yeah I get classes outside of school so I've plenty of notes on it

spurious

Great - are you doing OL or HL?

How did you find the oral?

ELynch96

Definitely honours because the paper is mostly reading in Russian answering in English or matching up questions with answers etc etc

spurious

I couldn't get a handle on the cursive Russian, so have to write in capitals all the time.
There's a bit more to it than just matching.

ELynch96

I have to say compared to honours Irish or French, the paper is considerably easier apart from the grammar gap fill

Oh yes of course, as it is intended to be taken after two years study, not five or six years like LC French/German/Spanish/Italian.

ELynch96

Yeah I see your point

Some of the oral examiners are kind of frightening alright.
You could just imagine them in the gulag.

So you're taking Russian aswell. Are you from Russia or how do you know the language?

Xacchaeus

Please stop doing that.
while you have paid for a private tuition (in Swords I guess) - those papers are still an IP of a particular teacher.

Thanks.

Overall a very fair exam. Very pleased with it
