I keep saying ''next weekend i'll start studying'', but I notice myself saying the same thing every weekend now and doing no study. NEXT WEEK!.....maybe.
Same! I amn't able to find time to study with the amount of homework that I'm getting. I spent a good 6 hours on homework today, no study! Feel like I'm so behind with studying
Ah well, there's always next week 
My mocks start the week after the February mid term, so still a while away.

Yeah I have it I have never used it for Irish..Is it good? I normally go over grammar and vocab because I hate learning off answers! :P
Fairly basic but good revision all the same. I find it hard learning grammar out of the book, so having it explained to you by a teacher suits me much better. :P0 -

My mocks start on the 28th of January
. I don't know why, but I always thought mocks were on in March or something, until this year.
You could try reading a book in Irish to help. I read one while I was in the Gaeltacht because the idea of not reading for three weeks was horrific, but I didn't keep it up when I got home, unfortunately. I am reading a novel in French at the moment, which is actually a lot funner than it sounds. I've noticed an improvement in my vocab and grammar but I'd agree that perfecting basic grammar is the key to languages.
Anyone else writing up their geographical investigation? Trying to keep within the word count is so hard.0 -

I'm quite good at Irish so I can come up with fairly good sentences etc but basically I know a few nice sentences for each topic (my teacher drills them into us!) and well I just write from there! For poetry I just go through the poem on the day and answer it. I would suggest learning nice sentences for each poem, story etc (know the story inside out - I just tell the story referring to the question and it has gotten me As). Then try and piece together nice paragraphs from different sources (Foinse is good) and well I suppose just learn to your style. I learn by repeating it twice or three times but maybe writing would be better for you.
Sorry if this is a bit jumbled up, I've taken a break in the middle of studying biology so my head just isn't right :P
Yeah I will definitely start learning some nice phrases but at the moment I am focusing on grammar.Yeah I think I might start reading a book as poufsouffle suggested
I might look into getting Foinse now and again...Ah yeah thanks for the advice and I am actually doing Chemistry atm so I know how ya feel! :P 0 -

Not worth switching over for alone, but handy enough if you're an Eircom customer.0 -

Yeah, the maths isn't bad. It mainly just goes over solutions to exam questions rather than teach you the cirriculum. It's more revision than tutoring.0 -

sorry for predictions ALREADY for the Leaving but anyone else thinking maybe something on the Junior Cert plans to be abolished may crop up as an Irish/French essay ? :P Or else something on the Education Department since they make the LC papers in October(as far as I know) and a lot is happening with it.. Just a thought !

Wouldn't switch just for Maths tbf. Maths tutorial videos are everywhere. Just search Youtube 0
