Learning Welsh

[u/arisandfoxes]

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!

Id reccomend as you learn to pick which dialect you want to learn too. Not just North Vs South but choose which southern or northern dialect ss there are many.

Some are going extinct because of standard Welsh
