Our Beginner Welsh topics are made up of 10 language items (nouns, phrases or short sentences) and are suitable for beginning Welsh learners at Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 (KS1 and KS2). Our Intermediate Welsh topics have 20 items of vocabulary and are suitable for Welsh learners at Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 (KS3 and KS4).
Each item in a topic consists of the text (both the written text and an audio recording of a Welsh person speaking the word / words) with a picture that illustrates that item. The illustrations are very simply and nicely drawn so there will be no confusion as to what is being shown. The texts are available to see and hear on all product pages in the brown info sign below the main interface. The language for each topic is carefully selected to match the language of the UK Welsh as a second language curriculum. This means you should see the same language you are learning at school (if you are at school) for any particular subject.
Once a topic is selected at the beginning of a session at Learn Welsh it will be remembered when you move between games and other activities. So you only need to choose a topic once and can then do multiple lessons, play multiple games and take multiple tests without having to select your subject topic again. The topics, both beginner and intermediate match with the topics available in our free online teaching Welsh product Teach Welsh

Click on the "1. Start" button in the top navigation bar - that brings you to this topic selection page. On the topic selection page you will see that the topic selection is divided up in different ways:
Choose either Beginner or Intermediate level topics in the red sign. Now the categories for that level will load. Click on any sign to view the topics that fit the category description. For example, if you choose the Beginner category 'Animals' you will see a choice of two topics: "Animals - pets" and "Animals - farm". When you click on the name of the topic, the pictures, writing and spoken Welsh for that topic will load (once the topic has loaded it will be available for all activities and will not have to be loaded again).
With the topic loaded you can choose whether to proceed to the lesson for that topic, or to jump straight to the games (tablet users are taken straight to the lesson when they choose a topic).
