Leaving Cert Irish Oral [Ordinary Level]

Troxck

I'm going into 6th Year and last year my class covered very little in regards to the oral. All we covered was the Welcome/Failtiú and the Picture Series/Sraith Pictiurí (of which we have 14 learnt). I'm just wondering, for the general conversation, what topics generally come up? I can barely speak a word of Irish and I'm so afraid the examiner will throw me with a question I haven't learnt the answer to and that I'd just be sitting there in silence. Are there any free online sources that have notes/tips for this? I watch different sports on TG4 to get a gist of how words would flow into each other but I've picked up virtually nothing. It's worth 40% so I'm pretty worried about it!

Thanks in advance!

, the examiners are really fair with what they ask for the irish oral . If you are having difficulty with speaking on the usual topics of family, yourself, hobbies& summer they will more than likely understand & realise which level you are at and not ask you any difficult questions. In my case I am very fluent with my irish speaking and i got some really difficult questions! But there is no need to worry:)

Having mentioned I went to France on holiday, I was asked about the differences between France and Ireland.

After a moment of panic (I felt that was more a HL question ) I spluttered out something about the French being too thin.

Otherwise, completely normal.
