TBD ~ PSWA Welsh Language Meet Up
There has been a terrific response to our new Welsh Language Group. About 15 people have indicated
interest, with skill levels ranging from absolute beginner to several people that have been actively studying on their own for some time. We have had two meetings so far. Given the range in learning levels, it makes sense to focus on providing opportunities for conversation practice and listening comprehension, and support people’s personal efforts with on line sources such as Say Something in Welsh or Duo Lingo. We are looking for fun ways to support and encourage everyone’s language skills, such as Welsh Scrabble, Welsh language movie night, children’s books, and more.
We are in the process of scheduling meetings for January and February.
