    As a mature student when I talk about my teaghlach,

    Will I say I have 4 sisters married with children and 1 other sister.
    With 6 nephews and 5 nieces to drag it out

    or am I better off saying I have 5 sisters?

    Also for the comhrá :

    Do people really think they will ask about sports?
    even in English I haven't a clue about sports, is this testing my Irish to make me learn something off as I wouldn't know it English.

    What would you say in a normal conversation? Do the same in the oral, which is essentially a cross between an interview and a chat. Why would you talk about sports if you're not into them? "Níl aon suim agam sa spórt, mar tá siad thar a bheith leadránach. Is fearr liom mo chuid ama a chaitheamh ag....... (insert activity/interest)"
