Leaving Cert Poetry – Pronunciation Guide

I was asked to put up pronunciation guides for the 5 poems that are part of the Leaving Cert oral exam, so please pass them on to any students that might find them useful.

There is another post that shows a visual representation of each poem as well. https://irishlanguageteacher.com/2021/01/08/leaving-cert-poetry/

So, here are the phrase cards and I will follow up with a video for each one.

I have added them as files rather than images to ensure that they are the best quality for reading.

You can practice with these, and don’t forget, you can bring your own pronunciation guide for the poems into the oral with you!

Most of all.. Please enjoy them!
