This is ffab! Can we also add the S4C Newyddion site/app? It has a “Dysgu Cymraeg” tab where the scripts to the stories are added so you can read and watch together…

Diolch :slight_smile:

Something that would help me with my learning would be a children’s book (Winnie the Pooh, Alice, Roald Dahl etc) read aloud in Welsh.

I’m not sure which (English) children’s classics are available in Welsh, let alone in audiobook form, but here are a couple of links that might be otherwise useful

Thankyou Siaron. I keep hoping Audible will do something…
