The school close to the border where the Welsh language is thriving
Yr ysgol ger y ffin ble mae’r Gymraeg yn ffynnu Wedi ei lleoli dafliad carreg o’r ffin, mae’r Gymraeg yn ffynnu mewn ysgol gynradd cyfrwng Saesneg ger Casnewydd, ar ôl i’r athrawon ddechrau dysgu’r iaith yn ystod y cyfnod clo. Penderfynodd criw o athrawon Ysgol Gynradd Langstone fynd ati i ddysgu Cymraeg ar ddechrau’r cyfnod clo, ac maent bellach yn mwynhau dysgu a siarad yr iaith, a’i haddysgu i’r plant yn yr ysgol. Eglura Jude Russell, Dirprwy Bennaeth yr ysgol, “Pan ddaeth y cyfnod clo, roedd pennaeth yr ysgol yn awyddus i sicrhau ein bod yn defnyddio ein hamser ar gyfer datblygiad proffesiynol. Gofynnodd i’r holl staff wneud modiwl blasu Dysgu Cymraeg ar-lein i athrawon, sydd ar gael am ddim ar wefan y Ganolfan Dysgu Cymraeg Genedlaethol.” 19 February 2025 -

South African "citizen of the world" who's learning Welsh
Hanes Hilton Fel un o'r nifer cynyddol o ddysgwyr Cymraeg sy'n dilyn cyrsiau mewn dosbarthiadau rhithiol a gefnogir gan y Ganolfan Dysgu Cymraeg Genedlaethol, mae stori Hilton Marlton yn fwy dramatig na'r mwyafrif. Ym 1986, yn 22 oed, fe ffodd Dde Affrica cyn iddo gael ei gonsgriptio i fyddin y wlad, mewn protest yn erbyn y gyfundrefn apartheid sydd bellach wedi dod i ben. Aeth ar lwybr a arweiniodd yn y pen draw at ymgartrefu yng nghefn gwlad Sir Gaerfyrddin a rhedeg ei fusnes adfer a dylunio adeiladau. “Yn y dyddiau hynny yn Ne Affrica, cafodd pob dyn gwyn ifanc ei gonsgriptio i’r fyddin. Ond roedd troseddau fy ngwlad yn erbyn dynoliaeth yn wrthun i mi, a gwnes i’r penderfyniad i neidio’r drafft,” meddai Hilton, sy’n wreiddiol o Natal. 13 January 2021 -

Becky Evans
Y ferch o Swydd Efrog sy’n siarad Cymraeg Mae peiriannydd sifil sy'n wreiddiol o ogledd Swydd Efrog ymhlith y nifer cynyddol o ddysgwyr sy'n dilyn cyrsiau rhithiol ac ar-lein a gydlynir gan y Ganolfan Dysgu Cymraeg Genedlaethol. Dechreuodd Rebecca “Becky” Evans, a gafodd ei geni a’i magu yn Harrogate, ddysgu Cymraeg ar ôl cwrdd â’i dyweddi Huw, a anwyd yn Ynys Môn. Roedd y cwpl yn gweithio fel peirianwyr sifil ar ffordd osgoi'r A483 yn y Drenewydd yng nghanolbarth Cymru pan wnaethant gwrdd bedair blynedd yn ôl. “Roedd cwrdd â Huw a’i deulu a’i ffrindiau yn golygu fy mod i’n ymgolli yn y Gymraeg ar unwaith,” meddai Becky, 29 oed. “Roedd yn teimlo’n naturiol mod i’n ymuno a dysgu ei siarad hefyd.” Trwy ymarfer gartref yn rheolaidd gyda Huw, roedd Becky yn sgwrsio yn Gymraeg yn fuan. Yna penderfynodd fynd gam ymhellach trwy gofrestru ar gwrs lefel Mynediad ar gyfer dechreuwyr gyda’r Ganolfan Dysgu Cymraeg Genedlaethol. Yna aeth y gwaith â hi yn ôl i Birmingham am chwe mis lle parhaodd i ddilyn cwrs yng nghwmni 20 o gyd-ddysgwyr Cymraeg. Ddwy flynedd yn ôl, ar ôl iddi hi symud i fyw gyda Huw yng Nghaerdydd, aeth Becky ymlaen i ddilyn cwrs ar y lefel nesaf, Sylfaen, gyda Dysgu Cymraeg Caerdydd, sy’n cael ei gynnal gan Brifysgol Caerdydd ar ran y Ganolfan Genedlaethol. Mae Becky wedi gwneud cynnydd da ac yn ddiweddar wedi cychwyn cwrs lefel Uwch, a ddaw i ben yn 2022. 04 November 2020 -
