"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."

LEARN MORE ABOUT THE TEG EXAMS
But sitting an exam in Irish sounds really difficult...
It's actually a lot easier than you think. The more you practice reading, speaking and listening to Irish, the more confident and fluent you'll become.
The All About Irish A2 and B1 TEG prep courses are strategically designed to maximise your practice between now and the exam dates in 2025!
The TEG exams are only held once per year, so give yourself the best chance to pass the exam.
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 don’t 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."
The A1 and B2 TEG prep courses will help you to be:
- More confident with your Irish speaking and pronunciation
- Ready to sit the A2 or B1 exam in May/June 2025, knowing what to expect and how to pass
- Delighted that you set a goal and stuck to it (with my support!)
- Regularly meeting with a group friends from all over the world, for live conversation practice during your exam prep and beyond!

I liked having something to work on each week that was reinforced by a live class and a conversation class.
Toni
Loved that it was self learning, love how you covered the grammar and I understood it without it seeming like work.
Marteen
The material covered was very comprehensive. We had everything we needed to get through the exam. I loved being able to practise speaking Irish with other people.

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.
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
“Ag foghlaim Gaeilge” 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 “dúshlán” 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.
