This week was a really busy week for me, I’m sure it was the same for you! It was no surprise this week as I had another Irish test but this time based on Irish dialects.

  • A choice between two questions
  • Essay type
  • Worth – 5%
  • 60 minutes to complete

I chose a question where I had to write 500 words on an Irish dialect of my choice. I feel like it went ok, I will find out soon enough as the weeks are passing by.

Moving on to my FYP (final year project). On Friday I had a 500 word brief due, thankfully I got it done on time. The topic it will be based the Irish language in the 19th century and how it lost its official status in Ireland among people. I chose this topic because I have a lot of love and admiration for our language and our history that evolves around it.
