About this course

Foundation Level 5 Day Online Intensive Course
Week 1: Units 1-5

This is the first step in a series of week-long courses that could enable you to complete Foundation Level. This type of course is ideal for those who want to learn Welsh through intermittent periods of intensive learning.

COURSE FORMAT
Each day you will join one morning session followed by an afternoon session (over Zoom) led by an experienced tutor. You'll also be required to complete tasks and independent study work between sessions throughout the week. This approach is intensive, so be prepared to be busy all day!!

You will need a copy of the Sylfaen course book (South Wales Version), which is available from local Welsh bookshops (such as Tŷ Tawe in Swansea or Tŷ'r Gwrhyd in Pontardawe) or by ordering on the gwales.com website. It's worth getting a hard copy of the course book, but you can also download a free PDF copy here: https://learnwelsh.cymru/learning/resource-library/resource/?ResourceId=d2e400e9-c68a-4eb1-a319-8990beaaebbf
