"I signed up for the course so I could learn to speak Irish competently. The All About Irish course is fun, it's brilliantly put together and you make real progress very quickly. The notes Patricia provides are spot on and easy to follow. I used to think the idea of learning to speak Irish well was a bit of a pipe dream but this course makes it very doable."

Not Sure How To Get Past Beginner Level in Irish?
Youâre Not The Only One!
Youâve picked up some Irish and you can handle the basics.
But when it comes to moving beyond simple phrases into real conversations, things start to feel shaky.
â
Youâve outgrown the apps, beginner courses and phrasebooks, but donât know what to focus on next.
â
You can recognise words and sentences, but struggle to put them together confidently.
â
Youâd love a clear path that takes you from âI know a bitâ to âIâm solidly at A2 level.â
â
Youâre curious about the TEG A2 exam â maybe for work, maybe just to prove to yourself you can do it â but you donât know what it takes to get there.
â
You want structure and accountability, without yet another course you abandon halfway.
Sound familiar? Thatâs exactly why so many learners stay stuck at âbeginner foreverâ mode.
Hereâs what actually helps you progress: a step-by-step path that trains all four skills (listening, speaking, reading, writing), builds vocabulary around real-life topics, and shows you exactly what A2 level Irish looks like in practice â whether or not you ever sit the exam.
The Bridge Between Beginner Irish and Confident Speaking
A guided 6-month path with lessons, practice, and support â so you finally know how to move forward
You donât need to keep guessing what comes after beginner Irish. This course gives you a clear, structured plan to move confidently through the A2 level â with the lessons, support, and practice you need to feel ready for real conversations (and even the TEG exam, if you want)
Following this plan with others you will see real progress, and enjoy it too!
A structured 6-month path
Lessons that build step by step, so you always know what to focus on next.
Small-group speaking practice
Boost your confidence in real conversations through guided ciorcal comhrå each month.
Flexible self-study
Resources you can use anytime, so learning fits into your schedule.
Live classes and personal feedback (Premium only)
Monthly live lessons, guided practice, and personalised homework feedback from your teacher.
Optional TEG A2 exam prep
Dedicated resources to prepare for the nationally recognised A2 exam â or simply to reach that level confidently, even if you never sit the exam.
There are two ways to take part â so you can choose the level of support that works best for you.
Standard:
Self-Study + Speaking
The full self-study plan, group speaking practice, and exam prep resources, with flexibility and accountability.
Premium:
Self-Study + Speaking + Live Lessons + Feedback
Everything in Standard, plus live lessons, personalised homework feedback, and direct support from your teacher.
 No matter which option you choose, youâll finally have a clear path forward. Structure, accountability, and the chance to make real progress with your Irish.
Two Ways to Learn, One Clear Path
Everyone starts with the same strong foundation. A structured 6-month plan, self-study resources released monthly, speaking practice, and exam prep materials.
From there, you decide how much support you want:
Standard:
Flexible Structure
Perfect if you want the freedom to study at your own pace, with just enough accountability to keep you moving. Youâll get the full self-study path, monthly group speaking practice, and exam prep resources â plus light-touch support through email check-ins and the course forum.
Premium:
Guided Support
Best if you want direct feedback and closer guidance. Alongside everything in Standard, youâll join small-group live lessons each month, submit homework for personalised teacher feedback, and get the extra accountability that makes all the difference.
 No matter which you choose, youâll have a clear roadmap, the right level of support, and the chance to finally see your Irish progress.
Imagine where you could be in 6 monthsâŠ
- Speaking Irish with confidence, not just memorising phrases
- Feeling accomplished that you followed a clear plan and stayed consistent
- Sharing monthly live conversations with other learners â and knowing youâre not alone on the journey
- Be fully prepared for the TEG A2 exam â whether or not you decide to sit it
Reaching A2 Irish Doesnât Have to Be Overwhelming
Reaching A2 level might sound daunting, but itâs not about being âperfect.â
With regular practice in reading, speaking, listening, and writing, youâll build confidence step by step â and start using Irish more naturally.
The All About Irish A2 course is designed to give you exactly that kind of structured practice over 6 months. By the end, youâll know what A2 level Irish looks like in real life, and youâll be ready to sit the TEG exam if you want to.
(And remember â sitting the exam is completely optional. Many learners take the course simply to enjoy the structure and reach that level without ever sitting the test.)
Lynne was surprised how much she learned!
"The TEG A2 course was so well organized, covering the key areas of the exam. Even more though, the course gave me more confidence in speaking and reading Irish. Patricia makes learning fun, balancing serious grammar, conversation and reading. She encourages students to step out of their comfort zone and to improve their skills in such a way that you almost donât realise how much you are learning until you look back on a lesson and see how much you have improved! I highly recommend the class."

I took some Irish courses with Patricia a couple of years ago and when I saw that she now offers a TEG course I jumped at the chance to join. Preparing for the TEG exam is exactly what I need right now to have a more consistent approach to learning Irish. What I particularly love about the way in which Patricia teaches is that she manages to make learning Irish seem easy and effortless...and fun! I know that with Patricia's guidance and this course I will get much closer to my goal of becoming a fluent Irish speaker.Â
Alana Duffy, Co. Westmeath
I've already completed several courses with All About Irish: Beginner Irish; Learning Irish Through Literature and the Present and Future Tense courses; and all have been outstanding. Patricia's step-by-step approach decodes the language in a thoroughly engaging way. I've now decided to take the TEG A2 course to give myself even more focus and consistency; and am already impressed by all I have learned within the course. I cannot wait to start the live sessions and enjoy that great sense of camaraderie that Patricia's classes always inspire.
Richard Barrett, Los Angeles
âAg foghlaim Gaeilgeâ is like snakes and ladders, it can be up and down. All About Irish courses have been a ladder for me and have got me back on track with my Irish. The online resources are always interesting and refreshing. The live classes are really motivating and enjoyable as Patricia puts the fun into learning Gaeilge! Now I need a âdĂșshlĂĄnâ challenge to keep improving my Irish and so I've just signed up for the TEG A2 course. I am really looking forward to taking my Irish to the next level with this course.
