    I can't speak a word of irish and I'm in honours. And when I say not a word I mean I can't put a sentence together. My teacher's insane and terrible, and I'm the only person in my H. irish class not doing grinds and I SUCK!!!

    My oral's on Tuesday.

    I'm f*cked.

    Dinxminx calm the hell down firstly. Like you I hadn't a word a few days bfore the xam and im not exaggerating either. First step is to start learning paragraphs off of the most common things asked including, your area, your family, school, what you will do when you leave school, social problems in your area and all that. I learnt off these and wasn't asked hardly anything extra and got on fine.

    :D OMG I got the nicest examiner today, first of all he let me choose a sliocht (5th) and then although I couldn't remember any vocab (or Irish) during the exam it was more like a conversation than an exam (I know it's meant to be that but it usually isn't). He really tried to find stuff I could talk about and helped me out, I still probably got a bad mark (my Irish sucks) cos I spoke a bit of english and french in it aswell. Still he was a great examiner!

    Was anyone daring enough to enquire what mark the examiner gave them?

    No chance, I nearly did for the French one though. I'm guessing you didn't ask either?

    Course i asked, there was no one way i was leaving the room with having some idea of how i got on. I asked how did I do and she said "grand, no more bother to you". TBH I'd be suprised if I didnt get an A2 if not an A1. I didnt make one grammatical mistake and i kept talking bout whatever she asked and didnt have any problems understanding her accent. It was more of a conversation though rather than her asking me questions and i answering
