    What would the attendees of this forum consider to be a fluent level of Irish ?

    I would be fairly confident in my level of Irish, ie I could hold my own in most everyday conversations & understand most TG 4 programmes etc. Would you consider this fluent ?

    In saying that, my grammar would be slightly questionable..............

    no, I got to say I wouldnt consider it fluent. My level of speaking our native tounge is similiar to yours. There is no way that I would consider myself fluent, unless you read my CV!!

    We can't fairly assess your fluency here, but if it's a case of going for a job, go for it and to hell with the begrudgers.

    You have nothing to lose by applying and even if you don't get it, the experience of having your Irish fluency assessed will help you know where you need to improve for the future. Don't let a lack of self-confidence hold you back. I've seen way too many people with very good Irish who have a complete inferiority complex about their ability in the language.
