Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Welsh will be taught as a modern spoken language, with particular emphasis on developing oral and aural proficiency, but without neglecting the grammar and historical development of the language. Although students will be learning a southern dialect of spoken Welsh, there will also be discussion of other dialects and of the modern literary language. No previous knowledge of Welsh or other Celtic languages is required.
