What is the course about?

This reading club is for learners at Level 3 (lower/upper). It will involve reading aloud in Welsh and discussing, which will help consolidate grammar patterns learnt on City Lit Welsh courses, as well as broadening vocabulary, pronunciation, and intonation of whole phrases.

What will we cover?

The set book will be 'Modrybedd Afradlon' by Mihangel Morgan from chapter 5.

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

- have a wider vocabulary.
- have improved pronunciation.
- have had an introduction to Welsh literature.

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

The reading material used in this class is at CEFR level B1/B2.
This book club is suitable for learners in their 3rd or 4th year of learning Welsh.

Choose a level 3 course if you can:

- take part in a simple conversation on a variety of everyday topics (e.g., weather, family, interests, times of working day, location of company departments)
- understand and respond to authentic conversations of moderate length and complexity (e.g. conversations between native speakers and news reports).
- give and justify your opinions and ideas,
- express hypothetical sentences and doubt in the language.

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

- Preparation for each class: You will have to read one chapter prior to the class to familiarise yourself with the text.
- Work in class: You will look at the chapter read in more details (vocabulary, pronunciation, grammar…) with the tutor and/or the other students through pair and small group discussion.

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

Students will need a copy of 'Modrybedd Afradlon' by Mihangel Morgan (ISBN 1-85902-878-0).

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

City Lit offers a range of in-person and online Welsh classes, workshops and reading groups.
Your tutor will advise you on your next steps.
