"In this fun, activity-based course, you will be able to do what Welsh stars Catherine Zeta-Jones & Tom Jones CAN'T do - youll be able to speak the language of Cymraeg (Welsh)!
In this 2 hr taster course, forget dictionaries or taking notes, instead youll be meeting new ffrindiau(friends) and sharing gwybodaeth(information) about your interests. This is an activity-based experience that is so enjoyable you wont even know youre learning! Expect to participate, experiment and most of all to have fun!
In this class well also be:
**having a laugh and a go at pronouncing Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch
**storytelling enjoy reading some of your favorite Jumbo Fairy tale books in Welsh.
**listening to englynion and other styles of Welsh poetry."

About the teacher: To California native Diana Manzanilla , discovering Cymraeg was a fluke. Yet, the language instantly captivated her, causing her to leave home and family for the beautiful green valleys of Wales. She spent 2 years in that glorious land - the first spent learning Welsh and the second spent teaching Welsh to adults using the same methods youll experience in this course.
