Learn Welsh
The stunning village of Abersoch is based in a predominantly Welsh speaking area of Wales, the Llŷn Peninsula. Whilst all those who help to produce the Abersoch Life Magazine are either Welsh or are endeavouring to grasp the language and learn Welsh, the resources are such that it isn’t possible to make this website or the magazine itself bi-lingual. If you wish to learn Welsh as a second language or just to find out a bit more about the oldest living Celtic language in the UK and amongst the oldest surviving in Europe. Have a look at a few sites that may be of interest via the links below. Diolch yn Fawr!

With over half a million of the Welsh population speaking the Welsh language, these numbers will only continue to rise with many educational private and public schools now teaching the Welsh language to children as young as 4 years old. Abersoch Life highly recommend trying to learn Welsh and before you know it, you will be able to talk to some great local welsh speaking people who would be very proud to hear you try and give you the support to help you improve.
A great place to do this is at Nant Gwrtheyrn, the iconic National Centre for Learning Welsh. Nant Gwrtheyrn is on the north coast of the Llŷn Peninsular, about 14 miles from Abersoch. The Centre has a proven track record, with over 40,000 students attending their renowned intensive residential courses since it was established in the 80’s.
Successful informal language teaching methods are used which complement other ways of learning the Welsh language. The courses are supplementary to other course providers and provide an excellent chance to practice, revise and build your confidence. Now offering online courses as well as residential, it’s never been so easy to give Welsh a go, from wherever you are in the world!
