Anyone hear do the Leaving Certificate (Irish) ?

Question

If so ... how did you study for it ?

Answer 1

The leaving cert irish pretty much consists of like a poems + stories that are on the course you have to study, as in learn phrases out of them off by heart then like write your own story and letter so just learn phrases off by heart, its pretty much a case of how many Irish phrases you can cram into your head. Dont do higher tho, Im good at Irish and I wudnt go near higher, you need to be fluent to do that ****.

Answer 2

You mean your actual Irish exam for the LC?

Can't help you if you're doing honours but if you do pass then focus mainly on stories and letter writing as they actually have more points going to them then the pros and poetry

You could try just memorizing off phrases that could be put in to any situation for both of them

And if your doing honours then the oral is exactly the same in the pass so if you get full marks in the oral and the aural you'll pass your full Irish exam

You see why those two things you would want to do really well in!

So lots of practicing and reading of the sliochts should get you through that ok

If you meant the LC as a whole then try splitting your days up into study slots and have an hour for each subject you want to study (two subjects a day or maybe more if you're on Easter holidays now) and just go through a chapter of a school book or a revision book and write out important notes from each one and read over them as much as you can

Answer 3

im doing pass level,i study some poetry,prose and comprehension,get the revise wise books they're great.

you'll get them in any good book stores and for the languages they have cd's to practice your listening!

Answer 4

I did pass last year, I studyed the poems and prose (the notes from my teacher), my oral notes, and sample essays. You really should be studying for the oral stuff now, practice the sliochts outloud as they are worth 30% of the orals and are easy marks. You shouldn't focus too much on paper 2 as it's worth less than 20%, you should practise some Aural as well maybe a little bit every week to get used to it.

Answer 5

Answer 6

Being an Irish person, Irish is my first language. I'm fluent and didn't study.

Is Éireannach mé, agus is é Gaeilge mo phríomhtheanga. Tá an blas agam agus ní dhearna mé aon staidéir.

Answer 8

i did higher level honours. it is split into 4 sections. you have your oral which is an irish conversation, your aural which is listening to a tape in irish and answering questions, and 2 written papers which comprise of essays, reading comprehensions, poetry and stories.
