This free course, Croeso: Beginners' Welsh, is taken from Croeso, a beginners' language module that concentrates on Welsh as a tool for communication, but it also provides some insights into Welsh societies and cultures through printed and audio materials. It will be of interest to all those who want to improve their language skills in order to communicate more easily and effectively in Welsh. The course focuses on basic greetings and introductions, numbers and days of the week. By the end of the course you will have gained confidence in communicating in Welsh, and you will be able to understand language used by speakers from different areas of Wales. You will develop the four language skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing in Welsh.

I live in Wales and I am now ashamed I did not try harder in school to learn and appreciate the Welsh language. This is a great course, however, for me, it was a bit too much for my needs. I just required help on basic greeting and introduction. Thank you for providing a great opportunity. Diolch! :-)
