    alri thanks for the quick reply. Well my main problem is lets say a question comes up on what is an enzyme. Now i know i know an ezyme inside and out so this question wouldnt be at all difficult , but for phrasing it into irish and still gettin the full marks is a different matter altogether. I ve read all the chapters, downloaded notes , used the an gum dictionary (which is very poor might i add) and still feel my translation isnt good enough. Ive been told examiners like short simple answers , straight to the point. Yet i find that very difficult with translating. Is there anywhere on the internet with at least a few things through irish. People say we're lucky to get bonus marks for irish , but is it worth the chance of learning through irish to get these bonus marks when your facing the dilemma of losing marks for bad phrasing and lack of resources? And people wonder why the language isn't strong.
