The website is designed to be used either to learn Welsh vocabulary and sentence structure, or to revise material already covered in class. The language is divided into topics, each with 10 or 20 pictures together with spoken and writtten language. Your child should start by choosing a topic based on their ability, age range or what they are studying at school. It is important that they start by doing the lesson for that topic.
