Irish oral!
Comments

Hey gaeilgegrinds1, i'm just wondering if you could give me a little bit of advice re: the orals. I do Ordinary Level, and if i'm to be honest, really dislike Irish. Would you be able to give me any sort of list/indication as to what is essential for someone sitting Ordinary Level should prepare? My Teacher is extremely unhelpful, and slightly annoyed at the fact she is teaching Pass and so has bombarded us with Higher Level standard notes that are difficult to understand! Thanks a million for any advice in advance!

From what I experienced, nothing too complex was asked. The examiner seemed content to leave me talk about what I wanted for as long as was some way reasonable. However I have heard some horror stories from other schools, namely questions regarding how you would feel if you were in the sinking Titanic etc. However I do not intend to fear monger, what you say I find to be almost universally true. The examiners seem to be going out to make it as painless as possible
It seems that you are right they are trying to keep it simple and ask easy topics.That seemed to be the case for the people in my school who did it on Monday and Tuesday.However,I am on tomorrow and have a different examiner..Hopefully be ok

Hi it went fine
The only thing I am disappointed with is the pictures because I was so nervous at that point and dont know how I did
But the questions I got asked were so nice! Just basic stuff like family,what would you like to do after school,passtimes and I think the onyl question slightly difficult was she asked"Cad a cheapann tu faoin an Tir seo?"
Advice: Honestly dont worry because by the time I started the general convo my nerves went ou the window and was so happy 0 -

Thats great that it went well for you. Did you get to pick your picture out or did the examiner do it? im first thing in the morning i cant wait to get in so i can get out lol!!
Well she held out an envelope with the pictures facing away from you and we just had to pick it out at random :P0 -

Had my oral today, it went ok. Was most worried about the sraiths before I went in but I got "Cursa Gaeilge sa Ghaeltacht" so I was happy enough with that. But did anyone else feel like the questions they were asked were really basic? I do HL myself and I'm really hoping for an A1, my teacher reckons I'll get it, but other people were coming out saying they were asked the modh coinniolach and about the culu eacnamaiochta and everything, but all I was asked was fairly basic stuff - what I want to do next year, my family, sport, what I'll do the summer, what I did last summer, where I live etc, although she kept cutting me off quite frequently with different questions also. Since it was so basic does anyone know if that will lower my grade? I'm a bit worried 0

I doubt it'll lower your grade, I'd say it's a sign that things were going well and you had plenty to save for the simple things! 0
