Methods
Successful and informal language teaching methods are used which complement other ways of learning the Welsh language e.g. the WJEC course, Wlpan etc. Our learn Welsh courses are supplementary to other course providers and provide an excellent chance to practice, revise and build your confidence.
The courses give people the opportunity to
practice each language skill – speaking, reading, listening and writing – but particular emphasis is placed on building your confidence to speak the language by encouraging you to practise your Welsh as much as possible during your stay at the Nant.
Our
experienced tutors adjust the course content slightly in accordance with group needs. You will never be in a class of more than 15 people so you’re sure to get plenty of personal encouragement and attention. Because people come to us from all over Wales and beyond the language spoken in North and South Wales is studied as well as any colloquial differences.

Students learn through a variety of activities
Intensive lessons are held in the morning and afternoon. Time is allocated for personal study and
Welsh language activities and
entertainment which support and build on the work done in class. One afternoon is spent in outside of the classroom in the
community, providing opportunities to practise your Welsh in real situations. Of course, you’ll have plenty of time to socialise, relax and practise with your fellow learners.
The following pages list all our language course dates in 2011 along with an outline of each course’s objectives and language functions. However it is important to realize that
each course can be slightly different owing to differing individuals’ needs from course to course.
Having completed a course at Nant Gwrtheyrn it’s important for you to carry on with your studies in order to develop your language skills. We are very happy to offer an
informal tutorial at the end of each course where we can suggest which steps are suitable for you to take next as an individual.
