Alternative Welsh opportunities in Garth Newydd

We often recommend the Garth Newydd Welsh Immersion experiences to SSiWers who are looking for something similar to the Bŵtcamps we used to run, but for any of you feeling that might be a little too much just yet, I’ve found out that they also offer some sessions that include explanations in English. These are run by experienced Welsh tutors, but you’re still in an area with plenty of opportunities to use your Welsh with locals, so a step along the journey to Welsh Only!

Here are some dates:

Cam Ymlaen Welsh Course 23-27th June

Cam Ymlaen Welsh Course 1st-5th Sept

Uwch Level Welsh Course Sept 8-12

Then there is a special treat for people interested in learning more about Patagonia. Virgina, who hails from Patagonia, will be giving a taste of the culture there through the medium of Welsh!

Penwythnos Profi Patagonia 12-14 Medi (September)

Hello Tom, I’m considering coming on the course. Can you give some idea of what the structure of the week will look like? How intense will it be? Will you aim to get through all of Uwch 1?

Hello Julia, The idea with this course is that it will be a mixture of study and fun. Roughly speaking, the people on the course will be around the Uwch 1 level and we will revise and practice a lot of the patterns and then use them in real situations.

The course description is now on the website: Uwch Level Welsh Course Mis Medi 8-12 Single room £350 Deposit – Paned.Cymru

Please let me know if you have any other questions and I hope to see you on the course. Thomas

@Deborah-SSi Diolch yn fawr! Dw i edrych ymlaen at gwrdd bobl newydd y tro yma!!

Unfortunately my holiday is the week after the easier course, it sounds wonderful. Maybe next year.

Hi @thomas-samuel. I see the ‘banner’ now says Uwch 1 on the website - but are you intending it to be very much Uwch 1 level, or more around Uwch 1 level (asking due to thought that Uwch 2 runs more alongside Uwch 1 than going up, as such).

What is the concert mentioned in the description @virginia-steinkamp?

Hi @ann-6 - Yes, the idea is that the course will be around Uwch 1 in terms of the level and the content of the course.

@ann-6 Haia Ann! Unfortunately that’s a mistake.
Just to confirm, there’s no concert on this particular weekend.
But please do let me know if you have any other questions or queries.

I see the Patagonia weekend is full now - too slow, dyna ni - will you be considering running another one, at some point? :crossed_fingers:

@ann-6 Hi! I’m thinking in repeating it a few months later, maybe in October!
I’d be glad if you can come!
