Dysgwr Cymraeg yn 2014!


By Ceri Shaw, 2014-01-07

More Here - dysgwr2014



I may be guilty of sending conflicting signals in my posts on New Years resolutions last year. I seem to recall posting on Facebook that I would "stop kidding myself that I have any will power". On Twitter I announced that 2014 was the year to learn Welsh.

Well, the above mentioned tweet was picked up by the UK Daily Express who deemed it the most "eye-catching" of the season. This puts me in a spot. I cannot really exhort others to 'Learn Welsh' and join our online class without doing so myself!

And so it is with some trepidation that I hereby pledge to master the Welsh language to at least basic conversational level by the end of this year.. I say 'with trepidation' because I have tried before, several times, and failed a month or two after making the initial effort. But this year will be different! I plan to launch a blog and track my progress by discussing some aspect of the Welsh language daily between now and December 31st. At the outset the blog will be written in English rather than Welsh but by years end I hope to write in both languages without recourse to Google Translate.

I'd like to finish this inaugural post with an exhortation. If you have been toying with the idea of learning Welsh please consider joining John Good's AmeriCymraeg online Welsh class.

You couldn't wish for a better or more dedicated instructor and there are live online sessions once a week on Wednesday evenings ( 5-7 pm PST ). The courses cater for beginners and intermediate level learners. Class sizes are small so every student gets plenty of individual attention. Click the graphic below for more details AND remember that the first class of 2014 is on Wednesday 8th of January. So...if you are thinking of enrolling sign up now or email americymru@gmail.com for more details.
