Learn and practice Cymraeg

Here are the individuals and families from all parts of Gwynedd who have learnt Welsh.  

Huge congratulations to Carrie, Richard and Anthea, Danielle, Sarah, Amy, Clare and her family. They’re a testimony to what is possible.

Their choice to assimilate into the community here in Gwynedd is fantastic. One thing links all of their experiences; that doors opened to opportunities once they had learnt Welsh; living in Gwynedd became a richer experience. Anyone can learn Welsh; if you fancy having a go contact Dysgu Cymraeg.

If you are already learning Welsh and want an opportunity to practice your skills, as well as getting to know Welsh speakers, there are loads of opportunities in Gwynedd, follow Menter Iaith Gwynedd and Menter Iaith Bangor on Facebook for the latest news or e-mail post@menteriaithgwynedd.cymru

A huge thanks to all the groups and individuals who run events that offer opportunities for people to practice their Cymraeg, if you would like to help out at one of these regular events or are interested in starting a group in your area, then please get in touch!

'Hapus i Siarad' Project

The “Hapus i Siarad” (Happy to Talk) project provides an opportunity for Welsh learners to speak Welsh in small local businesses that are “hapus i siarad” (happy to talk). Small businesses form an important part of our communities and every day lives and they are perfect places to gain confidence speaking Welsh.

Local businesses keen to take part in the scheme will receive a poster along with tips on how to encourage Welsh speakers, and learners in particular, to speak the language and build confidence. So watch out for the posters!  

Businesses in Bala, Bethesda, Caernarfon,  Felinheli, Dolgellau, Porthmadog, Nefyn and Pwllheli have agreed to join the scheme.  Call to see them, you’ll be made welcome and get to practice your Welsh.
