    How do you feel? Irish .. probably one of the hardest subjects if done in higher level. Done any study? Planning to? I'm planning to study a lot today ;).

    Goodluck everyone! :) Feel free to discuss Gaeigle!

    It's basically just like French, just more in-depth. In the letter they are generally testing your vocab and grammar because you can't plan for what will come up.

    Feeling pretty confident for Irish, cant wait to show off with some seanfhocail, saorbriathra and modh coinníollach!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30 jpr57852


    I already have 36% from the Irish oral. So I'm aiming for a C. I'd be still happy with a D. Absolutely thrilled with a B.

    It couldn't be simpler.
    There's a picture than has to match the corresponding text.
    EG, Picture of a car ----> Carr
    etc

    Can't help you with aililiu sorry but here's some tips that might help :-)
    P1
    -Léamhthuiscint: Try try try your best to write your answers in your own words, even if you just change one word from the answer in the passage!
    -Grammar: Rewrite the passage completely and underline the verbs changed (you'll lose all marks if you only write the verbs)
    -Scéal/Eachtra: Throw in a few seanfhocail, saorbriathra or modh coinníollach , the examiner will be very impressed
    P2
    -Prós: Same as the léamhthuiscint really
    -Studied prós: Know your studied well
    -Filíocht: Probably the most difficult part of the paper! Refer to the 'gluais' to try and work out unusual words.
    -Studied filíocht: Again know it well
    -Litir: Have an opening and closing paragraph preprared(This will pass you on the letter already) and make sure to have an address for abroad and the Gaeltacht

    Hope that helped!

    Thanks :) By the way, how many nathanna cainte should you try to include?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 71 ✭✭_ReyRey_


    Thanks :) By the way, how many nathanna caitne should you try to include?

    As many as you want as long as they're relevant and you don't use one in every second sentence!

    Is this coming from someone who just asked what Matcháil meant?

    :rolleyes:

    Our teacher gets us to put at least once in every single sentence. I end up running out of them or having to repeat them at the end.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 71 ✭✭_ReyRey_


    Thanks :) By the way, how many nathanna caitne should you try to include?

    Also just wanted to add instead of using one like 'Bhí eagla and domhain orm' that the examiner will see a hundred times, use an alternative like 'Bhí me sceimhlithe i mo bheata'(I was frightened out of my life) or 'Bhí mé ag crith le heagla'(I was shaking with the fear)

    Any tips for the Cluastuiscint? I am bricking it for that section alone.

    Really? I would avoid that if you have to end up repeating them, then the examiner will know you've run out of things to say(just my opinion)

    1-6 = séimhiu
    7-10 and multiples of 10 = urú

    Read the question and check exactly what it's asking for.
    If the question is 'cá bhfuil' you'll know to listen for a place name
    If the question is 'cé mhéad' listen for numbers

    I know that's ****e advice, no one likes the listening.

    The Ríomhphoist for OL is the stupidest thing ever. You spend all your time in school and barely ever touch the future tense, and it wants you to use loads of it. So stupid.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 121 ✭✭DUBLINHITMAN97


    Do you have to use full sentences for ordinary level Irish? I'm looking on examinations.ie and there are no full sentences for any question.

    I believe you can use chuirfeadh on any of them as long as you use the ending properly
    Chuirfeadh me, se, si, muid.
    d’ólfadh me, se, si etc


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8 suargasm


    any idea what themes are coming up for poetry


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 193 ✭✭Jack_OLantern


    Same!

    We should all team up. I know about 3 sentences in Irish! Plus few random words.
