Beth sydd yn y pecynnau? / What's in the packs?

  1. Listen & Repeat Speaking Practice Videos

    Practise saying Welsh sentences with Berwyn, each sentence getting more difficult!

  2. Reading Practice

    Read a variety of different short stories and answer the comprehension questions!

  3. Conversation Practice

    Speak out loud along with Berwyn’s videos. He speaks, then you speak! You will also receive the full transcript of the conversation!

  4. Writing Practice

    Receive a fun writing task based on the topic. For inspiration, Berwyn’s Welsh learner wife has completed these tasks and Berwyn has given her feedback.

  5. Write What You Hear

    Listen to the Welsh spoken in the video, then write down what you hear! Great for sharpening those listening skills!

  6. Listening Practice

    Berwyn speaks for 2-4 minutes about the topic, and your challenge is to answer the comprehension questions! (Don’t worry, a Welsh and English transcript is available.)

Everything comes in a higher and lower level!

Sound familiar? If you've ever said any of these things, A Year of Cymraeg might be just what you're looking for!

"It's hard to find ways to practise Welsh outside of my Welsh lessons!"

That's where A Year of Cymraeg comes in! Each pack is full of listening, reading, speaking and writing activities, giving you plenty of opportunities to practise your Welsh between lessons.

"I want good Welsh listening practice, but S4C is still way too hard for me!"

I get it! That's why I've created listening activities specifically for Welsh learners, with two different levels to choose from. You'll also have transcripts and comprehension questions to help you follow along.

"I'd love to have Welsh learning resources sent to me regularly to keep me motivated!"

Perfect! You'll receive three brand-new learning packs by email every month for a whole year. That's 36 different topics to keep your Welsh learning fresh and interesting!

"I'm so busy! Learning Welsh needs to fit around my schedule."

No problem! There are no live classes or fixed lesson times. Download your packs, watch the linked videos and complete the activities whenever it suits you. You're in control of your learning.

"I feel like my Welsh hasn't progressed in ages. I need something to help me level up!"

Let's change that! A Year of Cymraeg is designed to help you build on what you already know, expand your vocabulary and develop your confidence. And with both Lower Level and Higher Level included, you can challenge yourself as your Welsh improves.

Please note: This is not a structured Welsh grammar course. This is a selection of resources to help those already on a Welsh learning journey. It's like a treasure trove of Welsh resources to keep you motivated! If you are a complete beginner or are looking for a grammar course that starts from scratch, this might not be the best fit for you yet!

Lower level

For learners who can already manage a simple Welsh conversation and want to develop their vocabulary, understanding and confidence.

This course is not designed for complete beginners. Both levels are included, so you can choose your challenge and switch whenever you’re ready.
