How your child should use
Learn Welsh
Learn Welsh makes Welsh fun and simple. Your child will want to learn if they can enjoy that learning.
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. The lesson introduces the language and the pictures through simple clear activities that gradually reinforce the Welsh. Your child should be saying the Welsh as much as possible while completing the lesson.
