"Bhí an cúrsa an-dian ach is fiú é a dhéanamh mar ullmhúchán don Ardteist. Bhain mé an-taitneamh as".

"Tá an cúrsa ar fheabhas agus tá na múinteoirí an-deas. Chabhraigh na ranganna go mór liom."

"I mo thuairim ceapaim go bhfuil an cúrsa ar fheabhas ar fad. D’fhoghlaim mé alán Gaeilge."

"Tá an cúrsa seo an-mhaith mar thug sé seans dom Gaeilge a labhairt agus a fheabhsú. Bhí an craic agus an obair go maith le chéile."

"Bhain mé an-taitneamh agus an-tairbhe as an gcúrsa seo. Beidh sé an-tabhachtach dom chun torthaí maithe a fháil I nGaeilge."

Bhí atmaisféar dea-fhoghlamtha ann.

"Bhain mé an-taitneamh as a gcúrsa seo. ag deireadh an chúrsa ceapaim go bhfuil mo Ghaeilge níos fearr, go bhfuil a lán cairde nua agam agus go bhfuil mé níos compórdaí ag caint as Gaeilge."

Bhí an scrúdú béil go hiontach mar chuir sé brú orm obair a dhéanamh. Bhí an sport ar fheabhas chun bualadh le daoine nua agus le aclaíocht.

Bhí an cúrsa an-dian ach chabhraigh sé go mór liom mo chuid Gaeilge a fheabhsú gan aon agó.

Tá alán taithí ar chluastuiscint agus scrúdúbéil agam. D’fhoghlaim mé a lán Gaeilge nua freisin.
