Sitting LC HL Irish 2017- Tips

Woun

Hi Guys,

I'm planning on sitting my LC HL Irish Paper in June 2017 as an external candidate as I may be interested in applying for a Graduate Primary Teacher course in the future and i'm wondering would anyone have any tips for me?

I actually sat the LC a few years back in 2012 and took the OL paper, for which I receive an A1. I believe the course I took back then was the first year to introduce the 40% oral element, and the stories/poems remain the same as they did back then.

I basically am in full time employment now but am not happy in my job, so I want to complete the LC HL Irish paper in case I ever decide to apply for teaching.

Does anyone have any hints/tips/advice for someone attempting to carry out this task? I won't have mammoth amounts of time to complete this task with work, family etc. but I will try anything and everything to achieve my goal.

I must admit, my standard of Irish has fairly evaporated, I still would be able to have a ropey conversation, but written Irish, I wouldn't be too comfortable with at the minute, particularly in relation to grammar.

I would appreciate any advice or feedback, and would like to thank all of you who help in advance.

Happy Sunday,

Woun.

Flash cards, as simple as it sounds, are extremely helpful for getting all the verbs and key words down 100%, pretty easy to just use for a few minutes every night as well, online flashcards too.

You can get the 2017 sraith pictiur online. Afraid that's my only tip Oh and watch Ros na Run when it comes back from its summer break and listen to RnaG

Listen to R na G while commuting.

You should be able to apply online around January and it should be about €110 I think
