Content

Welsh is very much a live language and has the advantage that you can practise in live situations. There is also plenty of back up for the learner in a range of media eg. T.V, radio, internet resources, books, magazines, tapes, videos, day schools as well as socially geared events specifically for learners. . Tutor-organisers based in Mold and Llanrwst welcome enquiries and offer support.

This course is geared to spoken Welsh. It avoids the grammatical approach.
The course consolidates what has already been learnt in Years 1 and 2.Carrying on the emphasis of spoken Welsh, there is plenty of opportunity to practise every day situations aimed at bringing the learner to a fair degree of fluency. While most of the basic grammar has been learnt in Years 1 and 2, this course will teach the extra knowledge required to connect speech and help improve confidence. The style is informal and the lessons include listening to CD’s plus optional additional work to be completed at home.

Method of Assessment

Revision lessons at intervals during the course include informal assessment tasks. Credits may be achieved from Agored Cymru which is part of the Open College Network.
