Informal learning
Reading Clubs
Reading is a great way of practising your Welsh – it helps to improve your vocab, practise your patterns and it also helps with your listening and reading skills.
Join one of our Reading Clubs to meet other learners, to practice your Welsh and to discover some good books.
