Irish help!

Okay, well I have probably the most useless Irish teacher, I spend most of my time correcting her in class. She has really confused me and I don't know what I should concentrate on, could anyone help me? What will get me the most marks?

If you're good at Irish and able to write freely, you'll be absolutely fine! It's really not that bad, people just think it's useless, boring etc. and don't make any effort.

The listening isn't hard, in my opinion but if you find it difficult just practice, practice and practice and also make sure you understand questions.

Comprehensions aren't too bad, try to put things into you're own words, if possible when answering the questions.

Trialacha Teanga are grand if you learn your tenses, urú and séimhiús and numbers etc.

The essay is by far the most important question. Try and learn off some nice nathanna cainte to throw in and maybe a seanfhocal or two. Otherwise just use simple clear Irish.

Prós and Filíocht may seem hard but if you just keep mentioning the theme in question and your Irish is decent, you'll get high marks. For the unstudied sections just try your best. They're the least important, most easily marked and hardest question on the paper. Just try and keep your Irish making sense and say ''I mo thuairim'' and ''I mo bharúil'' the whole time because they probably won't mark you wrong if you say that it's your opinion!

Letter is pretty easy. Have a few nice phrases from the book learned if you want but it's more just about communicating the points in good, clear Irish. You should be able to get close enough to full marks in the letter.

Don't worry about it too much! If your good enough to correct your teacher, you obviously know the basics, at least! You'll be grand.
