Give them all a copy of Bun go Barr.

The Irish oral exam is probably one of the most terrifying things that any student will face although those famous Hollywood types will never know our pain.

Seriously, it still gives me nightmares.

To celebrate seachtain na gaeilge, TG4 have compiled this footage of famous celebrities attempting to spea cúpla focal as Gaelige during their brief visit to these shores.

The majority of them do sound like they’re a dog that’s chewing on peanut butter but we’re going to give them all a bualadh bos for the effort. Maybe they should take Irish lessons form this astounding Brazilian woman.

Take a look.
