- express and ask for personal opinions
- talk about wishes, future plans and ambitions.

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

Students should have completed Welsh Beginners, Module 1 and 2 or have equivalent experience (i.e. have studied Welsh for at least 6 months recently). You should be familiar with the basic word order of Welsh and know how to give and ask for simple personal information about the "here and now".

If you are a near-beginner or have previous experience with Welsh (such as living or working in Wales or having studied the language at GCSE level but not used it since) then this course is the perfect place to reconnect with the language.
