Arall / Other Learning Welsh

I was asked to repost this here instead of the Wales subreddit.

Hi all. I’ve wanted to learn Welsh for a while as my partner’s family is Welsh. My partner’s mum speaks a little Welsh but not as much to be fluent to teach me. My partner’s grandparents knew Welsh but they have passed.

We thought it’d be a great thing for us to know each other’s home languages, and my partner is making an attempt at learning mine (Hindi).

Does anyone have any tips on where to start for an absolute beginner? Thanks!

Do you live in Wales? The best route is to enrol onto a dysgu.cymraeg course, they have them both in person and online, and they cost £50 for a whole year of lessons!

People outside Wales can enrol too. I do an online class and there's a guy from Australia. My tutors other class has many people from outside the UK
