A WELSH COURSE

http://www.cs.brown.edu/fun/welsh/Welsh.html

This course is one suitable for beginners. The main emphasis of the course is in developing conversational skills in Welsh as it is currently spoken (as contrasted with teaching the forms needed for understanding literary Welsh). The material is an indirect descendent of the Cymraeg Byw movement of the 1960s and 1970s. This course does not assume a general proficiency in learning languages, nor any previous background in Welsh. The course is also developed in such a way that it can be distributed either through an ASCII medium wrapped as a setext, or made available in HTML on the WWW.

HISTORY AND STATUS OF THE WELSH LANGUAGE

http://users.comlab.ox.ac.uk/geraint.jones/about.welsh/

This document is written to accompany Mark Nodine's ondine Welsh lessons and used to be an appendix of that document, although I think it has now been removed from there (which makes the huge numbers of accesses to it the more confusing). It aims to answer, from the - perhaps necessarily opinionated - standpoint of a native Welsh speaker, some questions about the historical, political and cultural background of the language that he or I think might be asked by a learner from outside that culture.

Prosiect a ddechreuwyd yn 1921 gan Fwrdd Gwybodau Celtaidd Prifysgol Cymru i gynhyrchu'r geiriadur Cymraeg hanesyddol safonol cyntaf. Cyhoeddir Geiriadur Prifysgol Cymru mewn rhannau, ac y mae 57 o rannau wedi ymddangos er 1950 (a--triniaf). Gobeithiwn orffen y Geiriadur eleni wedi 80 mlynedd o waith.

A project begun in 1921 by the Board of Celtic Studies of the University of Wales to produce the first standard historical Welsh dictionary. The Dictionary of the Welsh Language has been published in parts since 1950, of which 57 have appeared to date (a--triniaf). We hope to complete the Dictionary this year after 80 years' work.

PARENTS FOR WELSH MEDIUM EDUCATION

http://www.rhag.net/

Cymdeithas sydd yn cynrychioli rhieni trwy Gymru i gyd ydy RhAG. Yn ein plith ceir siaradwyr Cymraeg a di-Gymraeg fel ei gilydd; mae rhai ohonon ni yn byw yn y trefi, eraill yng nghefn gwlad; magwyd rhai ohonon ni yng Nghymru, symudodd eraill i fyw yma. Beth sydd yn ein huno ni i gyd ydy'r argyhoeddiad bod dwyieithrwydd yn rhodd amhrisiadwy i blentyn, a bod y gallu i siarad Cymraeg yn sail iddo gael tyfu yn hyderus ynddo ei hun ac yn ei ddiwylliant. Ein nod yw hybu addysg Gymraeg a sicrhau'r adnoddau gorau ar gyfer y garfan gynyddol o blant cyfrwng Cymraeg. Tra'n crwydro'r wefan hon, gobeithiwn byddwch chi'n cael hyd i'r atebion i'ch cwestiynau ynglyn ag addysg trwy gyfrwng y Gymraeg, ond os na wnewch, yna anfonwch e-bost atom neu rhowch alwad ffôn a cheisiwn eich helpu.

RhAG (Parents for Welsh Medium Education) is an association which represents parents throughout Wales. Our group includes both Welsh speakers and non-Welsh speakers; some of us live in towns, others in the country; some of us were born and brought up in Wales, others have moved here to live. But what unites us all is the conviction that bilingualism is one of the greatest gifts one can give a child, and that the ability to speak Welsh will help children develop confidence in themselves and in their culture. Our function is to promote the advantages of Welsh medium education and campaign for better facilities for the ever growing number of children being taught through the medium of Welsh. We hope you will find the answers to your questions about Welsh medium education on this website, but if you don't, please send us an e-mail or give us a call and we'll try to help you.

TEGRYN VILLAGE

http://www.tegryn.co.uk/non_flash_index.htm

Tegryn is a small village, high in the Preseli hills in Pembrokeshire West Wales. The village is built on the upper slopes of Frenni Fawr {the 3rd highest peak in the range , as a result of which we have magnificent views in all directions. On the down-side however, there is nothing to protect us from the gales blowing inland from the Irish sea {when I first moved here I was shocked to see rain, snow, and hail falling sideways - but now it seems quite normal !. Tegryn is also notorious for mist. Having said all that, I have to say that on a clear and bright summer day our village and its surrounding area is one of the most beautiful places that I have ever seen. See for yourself on our picture page.

WELSH LANGUAGE PAGES

http://www.castlewales.com/cym_list.html

The Castles of Wales has always recognized the importance of supporting efforts aimed at preserving the ancient Celtic language of Wales. Although considerable efforts were made in the past to suppress the learning of Welsh, it nevertheless survives as a true living language, and today there are many communities throughout Wales where Welsh is still the language of everyday life for a majority of the people. We are therefore pleased to be able to present several pages at the Castles of Wales web site in Welsh (listed below). Additional translations are planned for the future. For those interested in learning more about the Welsh language, we have also provided links to certain Welsh language learning resources on the net, as well as other web sites that have pages available in Welsh.

WELSH AUTHORS

This work should aid experienced learners fill the gaps between speaking, writing and reading the Welsh language. These exercises help you master various aspects of the literary language with an emphasis on the syntax and mutations. It is also an introduction to the great wealth of modern Welsh literature. Our hope here on the prairie (and the Web) is to widen the knowledge of the unique craft of some Welsh writers to the benefit of learners here in Texas as well the diaspora of Welsh across the world. This course was designed and tested in Plano, Texas by students in the Welsh program and the chapter of CYD at Collin County Community College.
