    Anyone else feel totally suffocated by the Irish/French/German/whateverotherlanguage orals? At the moment, I crack up trying to speak Irish, and my brain shuts down.

    Also I start speaking french words in the practice Irish oral runs, and vice versa. So confuggling. So little time so much to do. Aaargh, damn Irish!

    You'll be fine about 1 minute into the oral. I was ****ting myself going into mine last year, but I found them fine and both examiners were really nice

    I had a french practice oral yesterday...teacher taking the class in fours/fives for an hour after school. Anyway, so I was trying to talk about school.....while there was an Irish quiz being blasted over the intercom. Nothing could be more distracting..

    Fine for Irish, French...panicky.

    I'm the opposite. I'm perfect for French (or so I hope!)

    and rubbish at Irish. Panicking now lads! And not helping the fact I'm on holidays for 2 weeks at Easter.

    Its the only thing I can think to study for at the minute . I was taking grinds for french but then I stopped cause I reallycant do one to one session that well. I know I have probably just shot myself in the foot for so many reasons but hopefully I'll be alright . So long as I don't drop below a C. Couldnt care less about irish tbh cause its pass and I'm going UCAS.
