The Welsh Society of Western New England has merged our Welsh Conversation sessions with the Madog Center for Welsh Studies | Cyfarwyddwr, Canolfan Madog ar gyfer Astudiaethau Cymreig at the University of Rio Grande and Rio Grande Community College, Rio Grande, OH.

Host: Dan Rowbotham, Director.

Welsh Conversation Sessions are NOT Welsh classes.

These conversation sessions are for people who are currently learning Welsh (or who have learned some Welsh) through classes somewhere in person or online.

There are separate sessions appropriate for beginner, foundation, intermediate, and highest level Welsh speakers.

Everyone joins the call for 7:30 ET and we go around to say shw'mae/su'mae to everyone and confirm levels and place people and then we go into breakout rooms for each level. We try to keep the Breakout rooms to about 5 people maximum.

• Mynediad (Beginners) get a full tutor.

• Sylfaen (Foundation) gets a floating tutor

• Canolradd (Intermediate) gets check-ins

• Uwch (Highest) has proficient speakers running those sessions.

A monthly plan for themes and activities is sent out on the first Monday of the month, and any reminders of other events. 

We then e-mail every Wednesday morning (around 10:30am ET) with the Zoom link, theme reminder and again, any announcements/reminders.

All levels meet at 7:30pm ET on Wednesdays on Zoom.
