LEARNING LEVELS available online at Coláiste na Rinne
Please scroll below the illustration to read a description of the levels.
TEG offers an online test HERE which helps learners assess their current level. The test is designed more for the improver / to mid level learner as opposed to those who are beginning their learning journey. For beginners we have an Introduction Class for those who have no experience with the Irish Language and a range of A1 and A1 Plus classes for those who have already begun the journey but remain beginners.

MODULAR / THEMATIC APPROACH
Coláiste na Rinne delivers the TEG levels over two modules per level.
This means that half the learning themes for each level are addressed in Module 1, over a programme of 8 consecutive weeks and the second half delivered in Module 2, over the next programme of 8 consecutive weeks. The Modules do not have to be done sequentially.
If you wish to explore the full syllabus for each module and theme please click the level in which you are interested:
Please see below the list of themes addressed per level and per module. The A1 + course is a selection of A1 and A2 themes and grammar. Whilst the A2+ level is a combination of A2 and B1 themes and grammar.
