We will contact you with joining instructions before your course starts.

What will we cover?

What will I achieve?
By the end of this course you should be able to...

- Talk about what you should and would do (using modal and conditional verbs)
- Compare places, people and things by using different types of adjective
- Use the different forms of the past tense with more confidence
- start to use short-forms of common irregular verbs (MYND, DOD, CAEL, GWNEUD).

What level is the course and do I need any particular skills?

The course is suitable for students who have been studying Welsh for at least 1 year.

This module begins with new course material and is suitable for those who have at least 1 year of active Welsh studying experience. You can join this welcoming and supportive group whether you have studied previous modules at City Lit or not, provided you can:

- ask for and exchange basic personal information in Welsh
- hold a simple conversation in the present tense
- express your opinion and ask others for theirs
- deal with a basic shop/café style interaction (asking for something, paying)

You should be familiar with the basic word orders of Welsh and be able to ask for help in Welsh when you don't understand.

For those continuing with Welsh at City Lit, this is the next module following on from Welsh 2 Lower, module 1.

For further details of the specific foreign language skills required for this level, please see the languages self-assessment chart, using the link at the top of this page. You can also find the chart at the start of the languages section in our course guide. You will also need to be able to respond to simple instructions and read course documents in English and be at ease with the use of number for daily activities (e.g using money, telling the time, etc).

How will I be taught, and will there be any work outside the class?

Our courses are characterised by spoken interaction and communication. Typical activities include pair work, group work, role plays and games. A range of resources will be used to support your learning including presentations, hand-outs, and audio-visual material.
Homework is highly recommended to consolidate learning.

Are there any other costs? Is there anything I need to bring?

The course will use material from "My Way to Welsh" (H Gruffudd, ISBN: 9781800992887).
Students should bring a copy to the first session.

When I've finished, what course can I do next?
