Timed realistic speaking-task practice, follow-up prompts, and actionable feedback for Higher and Ordinary level speaking practice. Built for teachers who need dependable oral practice while keeping SEC and school instructions as the source of truth.
Leaving Cert answers for learners and schools
The 2026 oral examinations ran from Saturday, 28 March to Thursday, 2 April. The SEC schedules the orals in the same late-March window each spring — check the SEC, your school and your teacher for the confirmed 2027 dates.
This hub routes learners to supported Leaving Cert language oral practice, including French, Spanish, German, Irish, Italian, Japanese, Mandarin, Polish, Portuguese, Russian. Subject format, level, timing and materials still need to be verified with official SEC and school sources.
No. LearnLingo.ai provides independent oral-practice feedback, not State Examinations Commission marks, official grading, school scheduling, or exam administration.
Practise the subject-specific speaking tasks your course uses, then review feedback on fluency, pronunciation, accuracy, vocabulary range and timing before checking official guidance with your teacher.
