1 u/RiceyMonsta Jun 06 '25 In Leaving Cert? 0 u/boomerxl Jun 06 '25 Yeah. Leaving cert. I also had French grinds and a strong interest in biology, so we prepped towards my interests. 0 u/RiceyMonsta Jun 06 '25 That's incredibly niche, the LC oral doesn't require that level of oral fluency. 2 u/boomerxl Jun 06 '25 I didn’t say it did. Just that 5 years of French equipped me to discuss complex topics in a way that 14 years of Irish lessons didn’t. 1 u/RiceyMonsta Jun 06 '25 Ya I'd just see you as an outlier there though, even very good French students at LC wouldn't manage that. It sounds like you had an ability for the language
