These courses are not for you if you are a total beginner. I suggest instead that you sign up for my Beginner Irish. Click here to find out more about my Beginner Irish course.

These courses are for you if you have been learning Irish for at least 6 months; or if you did school Irish but it never quite fell into place. 

If you are unsure of your level don't hesitate to contact me. Click here to contact me directly.

These courses teache every aspect of the present, future and past tenses - how to construct each tense; how to ask questions and give replies; how to use question words correctly (cén fáth / conas / cé mhéad / cé etc.); how to use indirect speech; and finally all about the irregular verbs in the each tense. If you are already confident in all of these areas then this course may not be for you. But if you're not sure don't hesitate to contact me. 

The courses will also be useful for building vocabulary, as each conversation is packed with lots of useful idiomatic phrases which are generally not found in textbooks.

In any case, you can let me know within 14 days of the date of purchase if the course is not for you and I will arrange a full refund. (Please note that the right to refuse a refund is reserved in the case where the course booklet/pdfs have been downloaded).

I speak Connacht Irish, and Joe Ó Fátharta, who you will hear on the conversation tracks, is a native Irish speaker from Indreabhán, in the Cois Fharraige Gaeltacht. Therefore, the courses tend towards Connacht Irish.

However, the courses will still be of benefit to anyone focusing on a different dialect, or none, as the structure of the language is the same in all three main dialects, and many of the major differences between the dialects are highlighted in the courses.

You will enjoy lifetime access to each course you purchase. Please note that access to the courses through this platform is for a guaranteed minimum of one year; and beyond that for as long as All About Irish continues to offer the courses on this platform. If a course becomes unavailable through the current platform you will be offered the option to download all the materials directly to your own device for lifetime use. 

If you have any questions at all while completing a course you can post them in the forum under each lesson in your account. This is a good idea, as you can be sure someone else is experiencing the same problem!

You can also send me an email directly if you prefer.

We've all done it! Signed up enthusiastically for courses but never actually finished them.

This course is different. Firstly, the material is divided into manageable chunks for you to work through one short lesson at a time. This ensures that there is no chance of being overwhelmed.

Each lesson is as concise and short as possible, while yet delivering maximum learning. You don't need to sit down for an hour at a time during this course.

You can do as much or as little as you like - just watch the videos and listen to the comhrá once each week (less than 20 minutes); or if you have more time listen to the comhrá (conversation) multiple times; take the quiz; and do the worksheets. How much time you want to put into the course is up to you, but you will get something out of it even with a shorter time commitment.
