WSWNE’s Welsh conversation sessions

Due to logistic difficulties and time constraints, the Welsh Society of Western New England has decided that we will merge our Welsh Conversation sessions STARTING MARCH 2026 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. We feel this is the best solution, and are excited about “merging our groups”.

Host: Dan Rowbotham, Director.

Advantages: 

• Welsh speaking tutors and advisors

• All sessions on one evening, one time

• Abilities sorted into Zoom rooms for conversations

• Monthly email with themes and activities.

I strongly advise you to sign up… drop in when you can… we must keep speaking Welsh as much as we can to continue our Welsh language journeys.

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

APRIL dates are April 1, 8, 15, 22, 29

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.

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.

Here's the form to register... it does have the correct information on and has Dan's contact info on it too:   Canolfan Madog: Sgwrsio – Fill in form
