Good evening Gethin,

There’s a Welsh Language Society in Leeds and there’s a Say Something In Welsh group - I’m a member of both.

I can send you the link for the Saturday meeting if you want and the link to the Leeds CYIG Facebook page.

Hi, what sort of level is required? I’m some way through the Duolingo course but Duolingo (for Welsh at least) only has listening, reading and writing so I’ve no idea how good my spoken Welsh is. Relatively bad I should imagine.

Assuming me being all beginner won’t ruin your vibe could you send me the link please? I’m in Sheffield and don’t drive so wouldn’t be able to make every week but I think I can this Saturday, assuming there’s one one

Hi James,

All levels welcome. It’s a great chance to say a few words / have a go in a friendly environment and to listen to others doing the same. The reason we have a subject is so that people can at least have a think about something to say but there is no pressure.

I’ll send you the link.

So, almost exactly a year since we completed the census data and with those magical numbers for the number of Welsh speakers still lurking in the unannounced results:

  • Does more need to be done to increase the uptake of the Welsh Language - or is it ‘in hand’?
  • What are the important things that are going on that (will) make a difference?
  • Is there more/ something else can be done? Is the future secure - what is that future?
