What is the course about?
This reading club is for people who are at, or approaching Level 4, i.e. who have been actively studying Welsh for at least 3 years. 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.
