I am hoping to apply for H Dip in primary school teaching. There is an Irish section to the interview, would anyone be able to help me out with some sentences?


In response to the question "How would you promote Irish in your school?" I have: Sa rang, imreoinn cluichi teangacha go minic agus usaidfinn an Gaeilge i sli neamhfhormuil mar ghnath teanga sa rang i rith an lae. Cuirfinn posteiri ildaithe Gaeilge suas ar na ballai agus taispeanfinn obair mhaith i nGaeilge timpeall an scoil chun an Gaeilge a chur in aghaigh.

What ways could the above question be phrased as Gaeilge? I want to recognise it if I hear it.
Thank you
Is it ok if I have more questions as I think of them?

Síur déanfadsa mo dhícheall duitse!:)
Bhuel, tógann an Modh Choinníolach "h" agus "d" nuair a bhíonn gá leis- sa chás seo d'imreoinn agus thaispéanfainn.
Chomh maith leis sin, tá timpeall an scoil mícheart, 'sé atá uait ná timpeall na scoile- tuiseal ginideach i gceist le timpeall

Go raibh mile maith agat
An bhfuil an "h" istigh sa focal i ndiadh an briathar nó an briathar?

Gabh mo leithsceal mar tá mo Gaeilge uafasach

Ba chóir seo a scríobh:

Sa rang d’imreoinn cluichí teangacha go minic agus d’úsáidfinn an Ghaeilge ar nós neamhfhoirmiúil mar ghnáth-theanga sa rang i rith an lae. Chuirfinn póstaeir ildaite Gaeilge suas ar na ballaí agus thaispeánfainn obair mhaith i nGaeilge timpeall na scoile chun an Ghaeilge a chur ar aghaidh.


Agus "gabh mo leithscéal mar tá mo Ghaeilge uafásach" ("mo chuid Gaeilge" is better than "mo Ghaeilge, by the way).

I think "mo chuid Gaeilge" is not "better", it is the only correct option. You can't omit "cuid" with uncountable nouns preceded by possessive pronouns in Irish, can you?

Thanks for the help so far, much appreciated.
How would my question above be translated?
Also how would I phrase that I have a few words of Irish but am interested in learning more and am taking grinds.

Róman, I think you can say things like "mo ghruaig" instead of "mo chuid gruaige". Look at De Bhaldraithe, under "my": they say that you *commonly* use "cuid" with mass, uncountable and plural nouns.
